Scarm evolved from melodic death metal into metalcore from Oulunsalo near Oulu, broadening their sound while maintaining northern Finnish intensity. Active since 2012, they bring Arctic-edge aggression to the Ostrobothnia scene.
Scarnival deliver melodic death metal from Hanover, combining Scandinavian-influenced melodeath riffing with the precision of northern German musicianship. Their Lower Saxon capital base connects them to a city with a strong tradition of heavy music.
Leksand's Scene of Decay deliver neoclassical melodic death metal from the Dalarna lakeside town since 2022. Their crime-scene name and Siljan origins channel the forensics of deterioration into technically ornate compositions.
Scherbenwald ("Forest of Shards") deliver melodic death metal from Munster, combining Scandinavian melodeath influences with their own Westphalian sensibility. Their evocative German name suggests a sound that balances beauty with brokenness.
Scion blend melodic death metal with gothic metal from Schoppingen in North Rhine-Westphalia, weaving dark romanticism through aggressive melodeath frameworks. Their Munsterland origins place them in a rural setting that contrasts with their sophisticated genre fusion.
Scorch the Earth deliver melodic death metal from Oulu, combining Scandinavian melodeath's harmonic sophistication with the scorched-earth policy their name describes. Formed in 2023, they bring northern Finnish fire to the melodeath tradition.
Turin's Scream 3 Days pair death and melodic death metal from the Piedmontese capital since 2014. Their name's implied endurance mirrors a commitment to sustaining intensity across their compositions.
Moscow's Scream in Darkness pair death and melodic death metal from the Russian capital since 2014. Their name of vocal extremity in shadow channels the cry from within darkness into compositions balancing brutality and melody.
Cuneo's Screaming Eyes arrived in 2025 with death and melodic death metal from the Piedmontese Alps. Their mountain-ringed origins lend a natural grandeur to their balance of brutality and melody.
