Komsomolsk-on-Amur's State of M.I.N.D. deliver technical death metal from Russia's Far East since 2014. Their acronymic psychological-state name and remote Amur River origins channel mental complexity from one of the country's most isolated industrial cities.
State of Torment deliver melodic death metal and deathcore from Bad Salzuflen in North Rhine-Westphalia, combining Scandinavian melodeath with modern breakdown-driven heaviness. Formed in 2023, they bring anguished extremity to the Lippe region.
Staya blend thrash, groove, and death metal from Granada, combining multiple aggressive styles from the shadow of the Alhambra. Active since 2014, they bring Moorish-city intensity to the Andalusian extreme scene.
Novokuznetsk's Steak Chaos pair death metal and grindcore from the Kemerovo region's steel city since 2008. Their absurdist carnivorous name and industrial origins channel meat-themed mayhem into nearly two decades of extreme compositions.
Donetsk's Steak with Blood pair death metal and grindcore from the conflict-zone city since 2012. Over a decade from the Donbas capital, their culinary-gore name has channeled the rawness of undercooked flesh into compositions of visceral extremity.
Steal evolved from funeral doom metal into a broader black/death/doom approach from the southwestern Finnish town of Salo, deepening their sonic palette while maintaining their extreme heaviness. Formed in 2024, they bring evolving darkness to the Varsinais-Suomi scene.
Donetsk's Steam Hammer pair stoner and death metal from the war-affected eastern city since 2020. Their industrial-tool name channels the percussive force of steam-driven machinery into compositions of unusual genre-pairing from the Donbas.
Vasteras' Steel Freight deliver death metal with hardcore influences from the Vastmanland capital since 2025. Their industrial-transport name channels the crushing weight of loaded rail cars into compositions of freshly-minted, urban extremity.
Stellar Tombs forge black/death metal from the southern Finnish coastal town of Porvoo, exploring cosmic burial themes through extreme compositions. Formed in 2022, they bring astral sepulture to the Uusimaa underground.
