Utrecht's Spitting Nails bring metalcore to the Dutch cathedral city since 2015. Their name of furious, projectile-launching rage channels punk-derived intensity into breakdown-heavy compositions.
Halifax's Splatter Brain grind through a nasty intersection of death metal and grindcore. Since 2018, their short, sharp bursts of extremity have made them fixtures of the West Yorkshire heavy underground.
Voghera's SplatterGoat merge death metal and grindcore from the Lombard plains since 2014. Their goat-splatter imagery channels deliberately grotesque aesthetics into short, punishing bursts of extremity.
Kimry's Splatterums pair death and groove metal from the Tver region since 2017. Their gore-splash name and origins in the Volga town famed for its Art Nouveau architecture create an unlikely contrast between aesthetic refinement and visceral extremity.
Ulyanovsk's Splav craft gothic metal from Lenin's birthplace on the Volga since 2021. Their Russian name meaning "alloy" or "fusion" channels the blending of disparate elements into darkly atmospheric compositions from the middle Volga.
Crema's Spleen Flipper weave black, death, deathcore, melodic death, and metalcore from the Cremona countryside since 2013. Their genre-spanning approach and visceral name reflect an unwillingness to be confined by stylistic boundaries.
Kharkiv's Spleteniye merge doom, death, and gothic metal from the embattled eastern city since 2020. Their Russian name meaning "interweaving" channels the entanglement of disparate strands into compositions of triple-genre atmospheric complexity.
Splicer blend thrash metal with hard rock from Munich, combining aggressive velocity with rock's melodic accessibility. Active since 2018, they bring a genre-splicing approach to the Bavarian capital's diverse metal scene.
Belfast's Spliff Witchard have been dealing low-and-slow sludge and stoner riffs since 2012. Their name says it all: hazy, heavy, and unapologetically devoted to the riff as sacrament.
