Furious Thrash Metal from Dallas.

An Oregon black metal and ambient project active since 2014, Simbelmyne takes its name from the memorial flowers of Tolkien's Rohan, signaling a lyrical preoccupation with myth, memory, and the weight of the dead. Their sound merges the freezing hostility of black metal with more contemplative ambient passages.

Edison, New Jersey metalcore outfit Simensis, operating under the Canis Simensis Bandcamp handle, have been carving out their corner of the genre since 2017. Their metalcore approach draws on the genre's dual appetite for crushing heaviness and melodic tension.

Las Vegas's Simms arrived in 2024 fusing heavy metal with neoclassical shred, a combination that places technical guitar virtuosity at the center of otherwise traditionally structured metal songs. Their home in the entertainment capital of America is fitting for a project where showmanship and technicality are equally valued.

Toledo, Ohio's Simon Magus take their name from the ancient sorcerer-figure of Gnostic tradition and apply it to slow-burning doom metal built for dark contemplation. Formed in 2015, the band channels the genre's capacity for oppressive weight and psychological dread.

Sioux Falls, South Dakota's Simon Sez have delivered straightforward heavy metal since 2013 from one of the more unlikely metal scenes in the American heartland. Operating under the djsimonsez handle, the band brings a playful name to music that takes the classic metal template seriously.

Westchester, New York's Simple Satan cross black metal with punk sensibility, formed in 2021 in the stripped-down, confrontational tradition where the two genres have always had a natural affinity. Their approach prioritizes attitude and venom over technical elaboration.

Illinois brutal death metal act Simulacrum AD launched in 2024, bringing the most punishing branch of death metal's extremity to bear on their compositions. The name — invoking simulacra and the post-truth collapse of authentic reality — pairs conceptual weight with genre-appropriate sonic violence.

A New York industrial metal project active since 2014, Sin operates in the cold, mechanized space where metal's aggression meets electronic texture and programmatic rhythms. The sin7ven Bandcamp handle adds a numerological dimension to a project that already traffics in transgression.
