Wolverhampton's SpeedTheory have blended groove metal's rhythmic crunch with metalcore intensity since 2006. Nearly two decades of activity have sharpened their crossover sound into something reliably punishing.
Rotterdam's Spell Bound pair groove and thrash metal from the Dutch port city since 2016. Their enchantment name and Rotterdam's industrial setting create a context for rhythmically hypnotic aggression.
Groove and death metal band from Sankt Johann in Tirol with metalcore influences, formed in 2018. Their aggressive sonic blend draws from the heaviest elements of each subgenre, delivering crushing riffs and intense vocal performances from the heart of the Austrian Alps.
Preston's Spit fuse groove and thrash metal into a confrontational, pit-ready assault. Since 2016, they have traded in no-nonsense aggression, delivering riffs designed to incite chaos at close quarters.
Spitanger deliver groove metal from Copenhagen, channeling rhythmic heaviness with the provocative edge their name suggests. Active since 2012, they bring headbang-inducing grooves to the Danish capital.
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.
Splinetic deliver groove metal from the southern Finnish town of Forssa, channeling rhythmic heaviness with the visceral intensity of their spleen-referencing name. Formed in 2021, they bring Kanta-Hame groove to the Finnish metal scene.
's-Hertogenbosch's Splinterbomb pair groove and thrash metal from the Brabant capital since 2015. Their fragmentary-explosive name channels the shrapnel effect of detonation into compositions of splintering aggression.
