Shimetsu deliver death metal and grindcore from Trier, Germany's oldest city, combining ancient Roman-founded heritage with some of extreme music's most modern and aggressive forms. Active since 2014, they bring blasting intensity to the Moselle Valley.
Shit Infested Roach Human Carcass practice grind 'n' roll from Nachod with the kind of gleefully repulsive aesthetic that their name suggests. Formed in 2024, they channel the absurdist, shock-value tradition of grindcore into short, nasty bursts of noise.
Emerging from the tiny commune of Saint-Cyr-des-Gats in 2006, Shitoitsu delivers grindcore blasts from one of the most improbable rural locations in the French extreme music underground. Their relentless sonic assault proves that ferocious grind can germinate anywhere.
Shkura deal in death metal and grindcore from the Estonian underground, channeling extreme aggression through short, brutal compositions. Formed in 2020, they bring raw intensity to the Baltic extreme scene.
Shredding Infant Limbs deliver brutal death, standard death, and grindcore from Moscow/Saint Petersburg since 2023. Their graphic name channels maximum shock value into compositions of unrelenting technical extremity.
Sialogogo produces goregrind from the small Landes seaside town of Mimizan, having formed in 2020. Their medically-themed name and micro-blasting intensity place them firmly within the gore-obsessed grindcore tradition.
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.
Sickbag has been grinding out death metal and grindcore from the Norman city of Caen since 2004, making them one of the region's longer-running extreme acts. Two decades of output reflect an unwavering commitment to short, brutal sonic assaults.
Belgorod's Sickcunt merge brutal death, standard death, and grindcore from the Black Earth region since 2020. Their maximally provocative name channels shock-value extremity into compositions of southern Russian aggression.
