Severed Savior hails from South San Francisco, California, and has been one of the Bay Area's premier technical brutal death metal acts since forming in 2008. They combine the precision of technical death metal with the sheer pulverizing weight of brutal death, earning a reputation for surgical riffing and relentless intensity.
Severed Soul is a black metal act from Dothan, Alabama, formed in 2023 and operating in one of the more unlikely corners of the American South for the genre. Their recent emergence places them in the growing wave of Southern underground black metal, bringing raw atmospheric darkness to a region better known for doom and sludge.
Severer is a Lafayette, Louisiana doom and sludge metal band formed in 2015, drawing naturally on the heavy, humid atmosphere that has made Louisiana a breeding ground for miserable, crushing music. Their sound channels the slow-burn punishment of sludge alongside the weighted despair of traditional doom, firmly rooted in the Gulf Coast underground.

Moscow's Seversun merge groove, metalcore, and progressive metal from the Russian capital since 2017. Their north-sun name channels the weak light of high latitudes into multi-genre compositions of metropolitan ambition.
Sevicia evolved from melodic heavy metal into metalcore from Bilbao, tracing a trajectory from classic melody to modern aggression. Their Basque Country origins connect them to one of Spain's most vibrant music cultures.
Active since 2009 in Brest, Seviss has spent over a decade cultivating a harsh, frigid black metal sound shaped by Brittany's Atlantic storms and grey skies. Their catalog reflects the solitary, windblown character of France's westernmost peninsula.
Sewer Altar combine death metal with hardcore from Turku, fusing extreme metal's heaviness with punk's confrontational directness. Formed in 2024, they bring subterranean worship to the southwestern Finnish underground.
