Sick Gain play heavy metal from the Mallorcan town of Manacor, channeling classic metal energy from the Balearic Islands. Formed in 2020, they bring island-bred heaviness to the Mediterranean.
Band from Alagoinhas, Bahia, formed in 2003, starting out in crossover before shifting to heavy metal. Their lineup includes Angello Junior on vocals, Caio Barros and Kenion Nascimento on guitars, André Fiscina on bass, and Raul Barreto on drums; they released a self-titled album in 2017 containing the tracks 28, Despiteful, and S.O.S.
Sick of It All is a hardcore punk band from Queens, New York, formed in 1986 by brothers Lou Koller on vocals and Pete Koller on guitar, alongside drummer Armand Majidi and bassist Craig Setari. The band's 1989 debut Blood, Sweat and No Tears is credited with helping popularize the breakdown in hardcore and shaping the identity of the New York hardcore scene. Over more than three decades and twelve studio albums—including the major-label release Scratch the Surface (1994) and Wake the Sleeping Dragon! (2018)—they have sold over half a million records and remain one of the most enduring bands in the global hardcore punk community.
Sick of Society evolved from thrash/crossover origins into a more hardcore-focused direction from Vohringen in Bavaria, tracing a trajectory that mirrors the broader crossover between metal and punk. Their stylistic evolution since 2018 reflects a restless artistic spirit.
Australian-American rock trio Sick Puppies gained international attention when their track 'All the Same' soundtracked the viral 'Free Hugs Campaign' video in 2006, launching them from Sydney's rock underground to global recognition. Their sound evolved from scrappy alt-rock beginnings into polished, aggressive hard rock across albums like 'Tri-Polar' and 'Connect,' anchored by Shimon Moore's versatile vocals and Emma Anzai's powerful bass playing. After lineup changes, Sick Puppies have continued to deliver arena-ready rock anthems that balance accessibility with genuine heaviness.
Atlanta experimental death metal project launched in 2024, pushing the boundaries of the genre with unconventional structures and a willingness to warp conventional brutality into something strange.
Sick Sad World, named after the show-within-a-show from the animated series Daria, channels atmospheric sludge and post-metal from Nantes since 2012. Their expansive, cinematic approach to heavy music builds from quiet tension to crushing catharsis.
Sick Sinus Syndrome grind through goregrind from Ostrava, named after an actual cardiac arrhythmia in keeping with the subgenre's tradition of medical-themed horror. Their Moravian-Silesian output is gleefully grotesque and sonically abrasive.
San Luis Obispo thrash outfit formed in 2020, channeling the raw intensity and social cynicism of classic thrash into a tight, relentless sound on the Central Coast.
