Manchester's Spires have melded death metal's aggression with progressive metal's structural ambition since 2010. Their sound is characterized by labyrinthine song structures and technical musicianship deployed with visceral force.
Spiritual Holocaust deliver death metal from the northern Finnish coastal town of Raahe, channeling the most extreme spiritual devastation. Active since 2012, they bring purging fire to the Ostrobothnia death metal scene.
Spital deal in death metal from the northern Finnish city of Oulu, channeling extreme aggression from the Ostrobothnia capital. Active since 2014, they bring hospital-named brutality to the northern Finnish scene.
Spiteborn combine death metal with hardcore from Helsinki, fusing extreme metal's heaviness with punk's confrontational energy. Formed in 2019, they bring spite-forged intensity to the Finnish capital's underground.
Death/thrash metal band from Beernem in West Flanders, formed in 2020. Their aggressive hybrid of death and thrash metal delivers relentless velocity and brutality from the Flemish countryside.
Spitting Blood emerged from London in 2007, pairing death metal's brutality with metalcore's visceral breakdowns. Their nearly two decades of activity have yielded a hybrid sound that hits with calculated fury.
Halifax's Splatter Brain grind through a nasty intersection of death metal and grindcore. Since 2018, their short, sharp bursts of extremity have made them fixtures of the West Yorkshire heavy underground.
Voghera's SplatterGoat merge death metal and grindcore from the Lombard plains since 2014. Their goat-splatter imagery channels deliberately grotesque aesthetics into short, punishing bursts of extremity.
Kimry's Splatterums pair death and groove metal from the Tver region since 2017. Their gore-splash name and origins in the Volga town famed for its Art Nouveau architecture create an unlikely contrast between aesthetic refinement and visceral extremity.
