Susurro deliver death/thrash metal from the Rems Valley towns of Allmersbach im Tal and Backnang, channeling extreme aggression from the Baden-Wurttemberg countryside. Formed in 2019, their whispering Latin name contrasts with the volume of their output.
Sutus channel thrash, black metal, and crust from San Martin de la Vega south of Madrid, creating a volatile multi-genre hybrid. Active since 2014, they bring crossover fury to the greater Madrid underground.
Ljungskile's Svartvind pair thrash and black metal from the Bohuslan coast since 2024. Their Swedish name meaning "black wind" channels the dark gales of the Skagerrak into compositions of dual-genre aggression.
Svinibrod rip through thrash and death metal from Nymburk, combining the genres' most aggressive elements into a fierce hybrid. Their central Bohemian output channels raw, uncompromising extremity.
Sweet Silence combines death and thrash metal from Montrouge in the Parisian suburbs, launched in 2025. Their ironic name contrasts with the sheer volume and aggression of their sonic output, which leaves nothing silent or sweet.
Swordfish deliver thrash metal from Brno with the sharp precision their name implies, cutting through with tight riffing and aggressive energy. Active since 2016, they contribute to the Moravian capital's thriving thrash scene.
Gothenburg's Swordmaster have evolved from black metal to melodic death/thrash metal since their early years. Their weapon-wielder name and origins in the melodic death metal capital have produced compositions spanning the aggressive spectrum of Swedish extreme metal.
Gothenburg's Swordwielder merge crust punk, thrash, and doom metal from Sweden's metal capital since 2012. Over a decade of channeling their blade-bearer name into compositions of multi-genre heaviness that combine punk urgency with metallic weight.
Syanur plays thrash/death metal from the Bourgogne-Franche-Comte region, formed in 2022. Their name, a play on 'cyanure' (cyanide), signals the toxic intensity of their aggressive sonic cocktail.
