Sex Machine forge industrial metal from the Estonian resort town of Parnu, combining mechanical, electronic textures with heavy riffing. Active since 2012, they bring machine-driven intensity to the Baltic underground.
Sexlucifer forge black/thrash metal from the Finnish underground, combining blasphemous provocation with dual-genre aggression. Active since 2016, they bring infernal intensity to the Nordic black/thrash scene.
Sexmachine deliver heavy metal from Hanau in Hesse, bringing raw, unapologetic energy with the provocative swagger their name demands. Their Frankfurt-area base connects them to one of Germany's major metal hubs.
Sexorcism blast through speed metal, black metal, and punk from Baden-Wurttemberg, combining three of heavy music's most aggressive strains with tongue-in-cheek provocative imagery. Their genre-defying approach channels the chaotic spirit of early extreme metal crossovers.
Sexrex play black 'n' roll from Offenbach, fusing black metal's harsh aesthetics with the swaggering groove of rock 'n' roll. Their Frankfurt-adjacent base and irreverent name position them on the fun, riff-focused end of the black metal spectrum.
Viennese heavy metal and hard rock band formed in 2015, delivering high-octane riffs rooted in classic metal tradition. Their energetic live presence has made them a fixture of the Austrian heavy metal scene, sharing bills with notable acts across the country.
Sexton forge speed and heavy metal from Dortmund, channeling the velocity and power of classic metal from the Ruhr Valley. Active since 2016, they carry the torch of traditional speed metal in one of Germany's great industrial cities.
Moscow's Sextuple Venesection pair death and melodic death metal from the Russian capital since 2014. Their medical-bloodletting name channels the precision of surgical incision into compositions of calculated extremity.
Seyr craft progressive metalcore with post-rock influences from Berlin, blending heavy, angular riffing with expansive, atmospheric passages. Formed in 2022, they represent the more cerebral, artistically ambitious end of the Berlin heavy music scene.
