Reykjavik's Sinmara are among Iceland's most respected black metal acts, crafting meticulously composed extremity since 2014. Their work within the broader Icelandic black metal collective has yielded some of the scene's most acclaimed releases.
Sinmas evolved from hardcore/punk origins into thrash and groove metal from Bilbao, tracing the natural bridge between punk energy and metal aggression. Active since 2020, they bring Basque crossover spirit to the Spanish thrash scene.

Newport News, Virginia's SiNN have been delivering old-school-minded thrash metal since 2014, rooted in the hard-driving riff work and confrontational energy that defined the genre's late-'80s peak.
A California-based one-person project formed in 2021, Sinn Demonisk fuses raw black metal austerity with crust punk's d-beat aggression, producing lo-fi, deliberately abrasive material with no interest in polish or compromise.
Omaha, Nebraska's Sinne emerged in 2022 playing speed/black metal with a punk backbone, combining the reckless velocity of first-wave black metal with the rawness of '80s hardcore and the Midwestern underground's DIY ethos.
Sinnemia blend groove and gothic metal with rock elements from Brno, creating a darkly melodic sound that balances heaviness with accessibility. Their Moravian capital base gives them access to one of the Czech Republic's most vibrant music scenes.
Milwaukee, Wisconsin's Sinner have operated in the hard rock and heavy metal space since 2003, drawing on the hook-heavy, leather-and-chrome tradition of classic American heavy metal with a workmanlike Midwestern directness.
Sinner Rage play heavy metal and hard rock from the Basque capital of Vitoria-Gasteiz, channeling classic metal energy with Basque intensity. Formed in 2024, they bring fresh traditional metal to the Alava province.
