Petrozavodsk's Sandarmoh pair black, death, and melodic death metal named for the infamous Soviet execution site since 2019. Their Karelian origins and memorial name channel the weight of historical atrocity into extreme compositions.

Apeldoorn's Sanguinarian merge black, gothic, and industrial metal from the Veluwe since 2022. Their vampiric name and forest-city origins channel nocturnal predation through a multi-genre approach.

An Austrian black metal project, Sanguinary Trance released the EP "Wine, Song and Sacrifice" in June 2018, issued on pro-manufactured tape in a first edition of fifty copies. Their sound channels the frenetic, riff-dense approach of 1990s black metal while incorporating psychedelic, dissonant passages and intricate structures that evoke Dionysian ritual.

Sanguineus practice black metal from Hamburg, channeling the genre's cold atmospheres and aggressive intensity from Germany's largest port city. Active since 2009, they've been a consistent presence in the North German black metal underground.

Active in Graz, Styria from 1999 to 2013, Sanguis were one of the more prominent acts in the city's melodically inclined black metal scene, releasing three full-length albums over their career. Their music blended melodic guitar work with classic black metal aggression, drawing on themes ranging from fantasy and occultism in early releases to more personal lyrical territory later.

A black/thrash metal band from Götzis in Austria's westernmost province of Vorarlberg, Sanraktus channel the abrasive intersection of raw black metal and old-school thrash. Their output, hosted on Bandcamp via the sarastus page, is characteristic of underground European blackthrash with uncompromising production values.

Sans Roi ("Without King") forge black and gothic metal from the Auvergne capital of Clermont-Ferrand, channeling anti-monarchic themes through dark compositions. Formed in 2023, they bring kingless rebellion to the volcanic French heartland.

Sansara deal in black/death metal from the Ruhr Valley area of Sprockhovel and Bochum, channeling extreme metal aggression since 2001. Their two-decade presence makes them veterans of the North Rhine-Westphalia underground.
