Spania channel pagan black metal from Barcelona, drawing on pre-Christian Iberian traditions to fuel their extreme compositions. Formed in 2023, they bring Hispano-pagan intensity to the Catalan black metal scene.
Ennis' Spare deliver thrash metal from County Clare with no-frills efficiency since 2013. Their appropriately minimal name signals an approach that strips the genre down to its most essential, hard-hitting components.
Yalta's Sparrow Mutant pair death metal and grindcore from the Crimean resort city since 2017. Their genetically altered bird name and Black Sea coastal origins channel the grotesquerie of avian mutation into compositions of compact extremity.
Hailing from Sunderland, Spartan Warrior channel the raw energy and twin-guitar attack of NWOBHM. Their 2018 reformation breathed new life into a sound rooted in the early '80s British underground.
Sparto play heavy metal from the Navarrese capital of Pamplona, channeling the Spartan warrior spirit their name evokes. Formed in 2019, they bring military precision to the Basque-Navarrese metal scene.
Sparzanza have been one of Sweden's most recognized stoner metal acts, based in the Hammaro/Karlstad area since 2017. Their idiosyncratic name and Varmland origins have produced a catalog of groove-heavy compositions that have earned significant Scandinavian following.
Ludvika's Spasmodic deliver death metal from the Dalarna mining town since 2009. Nearly two decades from the iron-country heartland, their convulsion-themed name has channeled involuntary muscular contraction into compositions of sustained extremity.
Grind 'n' roll band from Aalst in East Flanders, formed in 2019, blending the chaotic brevity of grindcore with the groove-laden swagger of rock and roll. Their playfully aggressive approach creates an energetic hybrid that refuses to take itself too seriously.
Spawn deal in death metal from Berlin, channeling raw aggression from the German capital. Active since 2017, they add to Berlin's deep reservoir of extreme metal talent.
