Vienna-based black metal project emerging in 2018, Seraph channels the genre's raw intensity through an Austrian lens. Their work draws on traditional second-wave black metal foundations while engaging with themes of darkness and transcendence.
Birmingham, Alabama act Seraphic Entombment have been crafting suffocating death-doom since 2019, drawing on the genre's most crushing traditions — glacial tempos, cavernous low-end, and an oppressive atmosphere that earns the city's heavy reputation.
Seraphim craft doom/death/gothic metal from Wiesloch in Baden-Wurttemberg, blending angelic imagery with crushing heaviness and dark romanticism. Their triple-genre approach creates a rich, multi-layered sound that draws from each style's strengths.
Hayward, California's Seraphim Defloration deal in the guttural end of brutal death metal, built on punishing rhythms, gurgural vocals, and the kind of relentless sonic violence that has defined the Bay Area's underground extreme metal scene since the band's 2015 formation.
Magadan's Seraphim Project pair heavy and power metal from one of Russia's most remote Far Eastern cities since 2016. Their angelic-science name and Kolyma origins channel divine engineering from the edge of the habitable world.
A fresh arrival out of Seattle, Seraphlesh formed in 2025 blending melodic death metal's harmonic sensibility with the raw aggression of straight-ahead death metal — one of the Pacific Northwest's newest entries in the melodeath tradition.
Viennese progressive death metal outfit active since 2006, Serapis crafts technically demanding compositions that push beyond conventional death metal structures. Their progressive approach incorporates complex arrangements and shifting dynamics, reflecting Vienna's tradition of musical sophistication filtered through extreme metal.
Serapis Project craft progressive metal and rock from Barcelona, building intricate compositions inspired by the Greco-Egyptian deity. Formed in 2022, they bring mythological depth to the Catalan progressive scene.
Black metal project from Pepinster in the Liege province of Wallonia, active since 2010. Their output contributes to the black metal presence in francophone Belgium, drawing on the genre's atmospheric and aggressive traditions.
