Groove metal and hard rock band from Brasília, formed in 2018, whose sound fuses electric riffs with Brazilian folk traditions including baião and maracatu. The band released the EP Mula Sem Cabeça (Paixão Proibida) in December 2018, followed by the twelve-track album Folclórico in April 2019, which draws on Indigenous and Northeastern Brazilian mythology with tracks named after creatures such as Mapinguari and Curupira. Members include Egnaldo Santos on vocals, Felix Mota on guitar, Gregory Xavier on bass, and Julio Cesa on drums.
Seuche ("Plague") deal in black/death metal from Bavaria, channeling pestilential themes through extreme metal aggression. Their name perfectly suits the virulent intensity of their sound.
Seuchen ("Plagues") practice black metal from the German underground, their plural-form pestilence name suggesting an even more widespread contagion of darkness than their near-namesakes. Active since 2020, they channel the genre's most misanthropic impulses.
Named after the French phrase for 'alone in the dark,' this Brest-based project has crafted atmospheric post-black metal since 2022. Seul dans le Noir channels Brittany's windswept coastal melancholy into shimmering tremolo passages and introspective soundscapes.
Marseille's Seules les Mortes, whose name translates to 'only the dead women,' emerged in 2019 with a post-black metal vision steeped in feminist and literary themes. Their compositions layer ethereal textures over black metal's abrasive foundation, reflecting the Mediterranean port city's cultural complexity.
Seven Actual grind through short, explosive compositions from Jyvaskyla, channeling grindcore's tradition of maximum intensity in minimum time. Formed in 2022, they bring numerical precision to the central Finnish grind scene.
Christian power metal band from Curitiba, Paraná, formed in 2000, fronted by vocalist Debora Serri alongside guitarist Karim Serri, keyboardist Rafael Friesen, bassist Ricardo Bagatelli, and drummer Eliezer Leite. Their debut album The Second Floor was released in 2002 on Megahard Records, followed by The Faceless Man in 2006 on Bombworks Records, both combining melodic power metal with progressive tendencies and explicitly faith-based lyrical themes.
Gothenburg's Seven Circles pair progressive heavy and doom metal from Sweden's metal capital since 2013. Named for the seven circles of hell, their Dantean reference channels infernal descent into compositions of over a decade of ambitious, genre-blending heaviness.
Seven Daily Sins deliver technically demanding progressive death metal out of Minsk, layering complex time signatures and intricate guitar work over crushing heaviness. Their approach favors precision and compositional ambition, pushing the boundaries of extreme metal with mathematical intensity.
