Sentenced evolved from raw death metal into gothic metal and rock, becoming one of Finland's most beloved and tragic metal acts. Based in the Oulu area, their albums from "Amok" to "The Funeral Album" traced an arc from northern Finnish extremity to melancholic, introspective rock before the band's dissolution.
Chelyabinsk's Sentenced to Time deliver groove metal from the Ural industrial city since 2019. Their temporal-imprisonment name and meteor-strike-city origins channel the weight of time itself into rhythmically heavy compositions.
Sentences deliver death metal from the Lorraine town of Sarrebourg, channeling extreme aggression from the French-German border region. Active since 2016, they bring judicial-themed brutality to the Grand Est underground.
Modena's Sententia Mortis blend black and melodic black metal with a Latin name meaning "sentence of death" since 2012. Their Emilian base connects them to a region with a thriving extreme metal underground.
Sentinelle play heavy metal from the French underground, channeling the watchful intensity their sentinel name demands. Active since 2015, they bring vigilant traditional metal to the French scene.
Florence's Sentinum deliver folk metal with a name referencing the ancient Battle of Sentinum since 2015. Their historical awareness and Tuscan origins create a culturally rich context for their fusion of traditional and heavy music.
Thrash/speed metal band from Liege formed in 2023, injecting fresh energy into Wallonia's metal scene with high-velocity aggression. Their sound bridges the raw speed of early thrash with the relentless attack of speed metal.
Milan's SenzaVita play heavy metal with an Italian name meaning "lifeless" since 2017. Their paradoxically vital sound belies their morbid name, delivering energetic traditional metal from Italy's largest city.
Separate My Veins blend melodic groove metal with metalcore from Regensburg, combining rhythmic heaviness with emotionally charged melodic passages. Their visceral name matches the intensity of their Bavarian-crafted modern metal.
