Pavlovo's Skogsgravar craft atmospheric black metal from the Nizhny Novgorod region since 2024. Their Swedish name meaning "forest graves" channels Nordic burial imagery through compositions rooted in the Russian heartland.
Skogskra practice raw black metal from the Sauerland town of Balve, drawing their name from Scandinavian forest mythology. Active since 2013, they channel the lo-fi ferocity of raw black metal through a distinctly forested, mountainous German setting.
Skogsra fuse folk and black metal, drawing their name from Scandinavian forest mythology to inform their blend of traditional folk elements with harsh black metal aggression. Their Czech origins add an interesting Slavic dimension to their Nordic-inspired sound.
Velikiye Luki's Skogyr have been channeling atmospheric pagan metal from the Pskov region since 2007. Nearly two decades from this ancient trade-route town between Moscow and the Baltic, their forest-derived name has shaped compositions of culturally rooted paganism.
Skolopendar deal in death metal from Trier, named after the giant centipede genus in keeping with death metal's tradition of biological horror. Active since 2019, they bring arthropod-themed brutality to Germany's oldest city.
Saint Petersburg's Skorb' pair death and doom metal from the cultural capital since 2021. Their Russian name meaning "sorrow" or "grief" channels the emotional weight of mourning into compositions that merge crushing heaviness with funereal atmosphere.
Skorbut blast through brutal death metal and grindcore from Berlin, emerging in 2025 with the diseased intensity their scurvy-inspired name suggests. Their German capital output channels the most extreme end of the death/grind spectrum.
Skourged play metalcore from Prague, delivering aggressive breakdowns and melodic hooks in the modern heavy music tradition. Formed in 2022, they represent the newer generation of Czech metalcore.
Skraek channel death metal from the Jutland town of Horsens, delivering the horror their name suggests through extreme compositions. Formed in 2022, they bring East Jutland aggression to the Danish death metal scene.
