Sokolov, CZ · 2015–present · active
Selfexile blend doom metal, stoner grooves, and death 'n' roll from Sokolov, creating a murky, riff-driven sound that swings between slow-motion devastation and swaggering heaviness. Their western Bohemian roots lend a gritty, industrial-town edge to their music.
Paris, FR · 2019–present · active

Veliky Novgorod, RU · 2004–present · active
Veliky Novgorod's SelfOut bring metalcore to one of Russia's most ancient cities since 2004. Over two decades from the birthplace of Russian democracy, they have maintained a commitment to emotionally driven heavy music.

Vienna-based groove metal act whose self-titled 2014 debut album blends djent precision with heavy groove riffing across 13 tracks of sociocritical commentary.

Angers, FR · 2014–present · active
Selvsmord (Danish/Norwegian for "Suicide") practice black metal from the Loire Valley city of Angers, their Scandinavian-language name reflecting Nordic influences on their French black metal. Active since 2014, they bring imported darkness to the Maine-et-Loire underground.
Jihlava, CZ · 2015–present · active
Semai began as a black metal project in Jihlava before evolving into noise, drone, and ambient territory, tracing an arc from harsh extremity to abstract sound exploration. This restless transformation reflects an artistic vision that refuses to remain static within any single genre.
Auerswalde, DE · 2005–present · active
Semen Datura have been channeling black metal from the Ore Mountains since 2005, drawing their name from the hallucinogenic plant genus Datura. Their Saxon mountain base and psychoactive namesake suggest a black metal approach that explores altered states and botanical darkness.

Sempervivum (from the succulent plant genus meaning "always alive") forge death and black metal from the Lorraine towns of Blainville-sur-l'Eau and Damelevières. Active since 2015, they bring hardy, unkillable extremity to the eastern French scene.
Samara, RU · 2020–present · active
Samara's Senamirha deliver death metal from the Volga bend since 2020. Their reversed name and aerospace-capital origins channel inverted perspectives into compositions of extremity from Russia's space-launch city.
