A New Hampshire black/thrash outfit that emerged in 2023, Shithammered deal in the kind of speed-driven, primitive extremity where tremolo-picked chaos meets Teutonic thrash aggression — short on subtlety, long on destruction.
A 2025 arrival from Oak Grove, Wisconsin, Shoregraves blend post-black metal's atmospheric sweep with shoegaze's dreamy, reverb-heavy textures — a newly formed act already reaching for something melancholic and cinematic at the edge of the frozen Midwest.
Virginia-based solo black metal project Shoushitsu, formed in 2020, channels cold and uncompromising atmospheres through a raw, minimalist approach rooted in the harshest traditions of the genre.
Amherst, Massachusetts's Showhorses blend post-black metal atmosphere with stoner metal's riff-heavy warmth, creating a hazy and unsettling sound that sidesteps easy categorization since their 2016 formation.
Missoula, Montana's Shramana have crafted a singular hybrid since 2012, weaving black metal darkness, post-metal expansiveness, and crust punk's raw political energy into something distinctly rooted in the isolation of the Mountain West.
Blasphemous Black Metal from Texas / New Mexico.
San Diego's Shrieking, formed in 2025, operate in the atmospheric and depressive wing of black metal, crafting bleak, suffocating soundscapes that lean into introspection and emotional desolation over aggression.
Spokane, Washington's Shrieks of the Impaled have navigated blackened death metal since 2012, combining the atmospheric menace of black metal with death metal's raw brutality in material that reflects the Pacific Northwest's fertile underground extreme scene.
Highland Charter Township, Michigan's Shrine of Broken Glass, formed in 2021, blend melodic black metal sweep with deathcore's crushing low-end architecture, constructing a layered and aggressive hybrid that pushes both genres toward their outer edges.
