Portland, Oregon doom metal act Silence the Father draw from the city's rich history of heavy, atmospheric music, channeling slow tempos and grief-laden atmosphere into their brand of traditional doom since 2014.
Atlanta's Silence the Martyr fuse the cold, mechanized textures of industrial metal with death metal's aggression and heaviness, producing a sound that is as calculated as it is brutal since 2014.
Devastating Melodic Death Metal / Metalcore (early); Deathcore (later) from San Antonio.
Ocean Beach, California's Silence the Prince work within melodic death metal's characteristic blend of harsh extremity and melodic guitar leads, bringing San Diego's coastal scene sensibility to a genre rooted in Scandinavian influences since 2018.
St. Louis-based Silence the Witness blend the hook-driven intensity of metalcore with the heavier, more technically demanding elements of melodic death metal, drawing on both traditions to craft a dynamic and aggressive sound since 2015.

A Boston heavy metal outfit formed in 2024, Silencio traffics in the hard rock-adjacent side of the genre — muscular riffs and a classic sensibility that nods to the NWOBHM tradition without being beholden to it.
Miami's Silenmara fuses the locked-in pound of groove metal with metalcore's melodic aggression, building songs around syncopated riff cycles and a Southern Florida heat that adds a swaggering edge to the band's attack since forming in 2017.
Active since 1994, Silent Cry are long-running American purveyors of progressive heavy and power metal — patient, technically considered arrangements wrapped around soaring vocals and the kind of melodic ambition that keeps them relevant decades in.
