Belgian symphonic metal project active since 2019, crafting orchestral-inflected metal that pairs grandiose arrangements with heavy guitar work. Their sound draws from the European symphonic metal tradition while carving out a distinct identity in Belgium's diverse metal landscape.
Athens, Georgia's Silent Vigil formed in 2024 with a sound anchored in melodic doom/death metal — heavy, grief-saturated riffs underpinned by a genuine sense of melody that gives their darkness a beauty it might otherwise lack.
Manchester, New Hampshire's Silent Violence have been playing thrash and crossover since 2015, bringing a New England DIY ethic to a sound that bridges the pit energy of hardcore crossover with the tighter riffcraft of traditional thrash metal.
Silent Voices have been delivering melodic progressive/power metal from the Ostrobothnian city of Kokkola, combining technical sophistication with anthemic melodies. Active since 2013, they bring cerebral power metal to western Finland.
Silent Void crafts melodic doom/death metal from somewhere within France, their exact location kept deliberately obscure since their 2019 formation. Their compositions pair mournful clean melodies with guttural death metal vocals over glacially paced arrangements.
Silent Wings craft symphonic metal from Oer-Erkenschwick in the northern Ruhr Valley, layering orchestral arrangements and soaring melodies over heavy instrumentation. Their industrial-town origins contrast with the grandeur of their cinematic compositions.
Silentvice deliver atmospheric doom/death metal from Madrid, building immersive, crushing compositions that channel the vise-like grip their name describes. Active since 2015, they bring suffocating heaviness to the Spanish capital.
Progressive death metal and deathcore band from Sarajevo whose 2018 debut "Rotgiver" showcases a six-track blend of technical guitar work, djent-influenced rhythms, and aggressive vocals from a five-piece lineup. Recorded and mastered by Sandro Zjajo, their sound reflects Sarajevo's emerging position in modern extreme metal.
Silhouette emerged from Montpellier in 2022 with atmospheric black metal that channels the hot, arid character of southern France's Languedoc region. Their tremolo-rich compositions build expansive soundscapes over blast beats and layered guitar textures.
