Formed in 2025 out of Gilroy, California, Serpent and the Sun drive a groove-heavy thrash metal sound rooted in riff-forward aggression and thick rhythmic punch — a brand-new presence in the Bay Area's deep-rooted thrash tradition.
Serpent Christ is a death metal band from Punto Fijo, Falcón, Venezuela, active since 2005. The band released two full-lengths on their own — Ten Lies and Seven Glories (2006) and Mortuus in Anima (2008) — with lyrical themes centered on evil, anti-Christianity, and brutality. Their Bandcamp page confirms Venezuelan origin and hosts the Codex Abominatvs release.
Serpent Cobra is a stoner/doom metal duo from Paraná, Argentina, built around vocalist and bassist Carolina Dussau and guitarist Emanuel Acosta, drawing comparisons to Witchfinder General, Pentagram, and early Venom. Their debut album Anatomy of Abuses (2020) was released on cassette via Stoner Witch Records and on vinyl/CD via Interstellar Smoke Records, followed by the mini-album Beware (2021) and their third full-length Metal Disaster (2024).
Serpent Eater combine sludge, black, and death metal with crust punk from Cologne, creating a hydra-headed beast of extreme aggression. Active since 2012, they're one of the Rhineland's most ferocious crossover acts, refusing to be limited by genre boundaries.
Hailing from Sacred Mountain, North Carolina, Serpent Garden have been cultivating heavy, hazy stoner metal since 2008 — one of the longer-tenured acts in the region's underground, built on fuzz-drenched riffs and a slow-burning, ritualistic heaviness.
Bohuslan's Serpent Gate practice raw black metal from the West Swedish coastal province since 2025. Their ophidian-threshold name channels the passage through serpent-guarded doorways into lo-fi compositions of freshly-minted darkness.
Serpent God forge death/doom metal from the eastern Finnish town of Iisalmi, channeling the worship of serpentine deities through crushing, deliberate compositions. Emerging in 2025, they bring ophidian devotion to the Savo-region doom scene.
Serpent Majesty is a symphonic black metal band from Santiago, Chile, formed in 2014 and signed to Nocturnal Records. The band has released three full-length albums — Retribution of Cosmic Elements (2019), Oscuros senderos de paganismo austral (2020), and Más allá de la existencia (2023) — with lyrical themes centered on anti-Christianity and nature.
Black/death metal band from Ghent whose releases "Mass of the Serpent" and "Odious Gateways" channel serpentine darkness through the combined fury of black and death metal. Their rehearsal recordings alongside polished releases reveal a band committed to raw intensity and occult-tinged extremity.
