Simson play heavy metal from the Bavarian lake town of Waging, channeling classic metal energy from the Alpine foothills. Their biblical strongman name promises power and force in their riff-driven approach.
Simulacre emerged from Bordeaux in 2017 with a progressive take on black metal that prioritizes atmospheric depth and structural ambition. Their name, evoking Baudrillard's philosophical concept, hints at explorations of artifice and reality within their expansive compositions.
Illinois brutal death metal act Simulacrum AD launched in 2024, bringing the most punishing branch of death metal's extremity to bear on their compositions. The name — invoking simulacra and the post-truth collapse of authentic reality — pairs conceptual weight with genre-appropriate sonic violence.
Simon del Desierto channel doom metal from Madrid, named after Luis Bunuel's surrealist film about a desert-dwelling ascetic. Active since 2016, they bring surrealist heaviness to the Spanish capital's doom scene.
A New York industrial metal project active since 2014, Sin operates in the cold, mechanized space where metal's aggression meets electronic texture and programmatic rhythms. The sin7ven Bandcamp handle adds a numerological dimension to a project that already traffics in transgression.
Maywood, California's Sin play traditional heavy metal from the Los Angeles metro area, formed in 2014 and operating under the same sin7ven online presence as their New York namesake. Their Southern California location situates them within a region with a storied hard rock and heavy metal history.
Covington, Kentucky's Sin have practiced black metal since 2014, sitting just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati in a region not particularly known for the genre's cold aesthetic. Their black metal approach and Northern Kentucky base give the project a distinctly out-of-place, isolationist quality.
Sin Anestesia is a thrash metal band from Comodoro Rivadavia, Chubut, Argentina, with a lineup featuring bassist Nacho Carzoglio, guitarist Fuentes, and drummer Casanova. The band released their debut EP, "Nunca Seré Parte," in 2020 across digital platforms and followed it with a CD release in 2021 through The Ragged Records Music. Drawing on the old-school thrash sound of acts like Anthrax and Overkill, the five-track EP established them as part of Argentina's active underground thrash scene.
Sin Control deliver groove and thrash metal from the Castilian city of Zamora, combining rhythmic punch with thrash velocity. Active since 2015, they bring uncontrolled aggression to the northwestern Castilian underground.
