Syphonvision deliver melodic death metal from the Arctic city of Rovaniemi, combining Scandinavian melodeath with siphoned, filtered intensity. Active since 2018, they bring Lapland vision to the Finnish melodeath landscape.
Syranic blend metalcore with melodic death metal from Aachen, combining modern breakdowns with Scandinavian melodeath's harmonic sophistication. Active since 2010, they bring hybrid intensity to the Euregio tri-border region.
Syridas play melodic death metal from Ostrava, combining the Scandinavian melodeath tradition with the gritty energy of their Moravian-Silesian industrial city home. Formed in 2021, they bring fresh melodic intensity to the Czech extreme metal scene.
