Saint Petersburg's Starvelum pair symphonic and power metal from the cultural capital since 2014. Their star-veil name channels the gossamer fabric between observer and cosmos into orchestral compositions of celestial ambition.
Kharkiv's Starving Souls deliver melodic death metal from the war-affected eastern Ukrainian city since 2012. Over a decade from the embattled metropolis, their famished-spirit name has channeled the hunger of deprived consciousness into compositions of melodic intensity.

Swansea's State of Confusion have been thrashing since 1993, making them veterans of the Welsh metal underground. Over three decades, they have maintained an unvarnished commitment to fast, aggressive thrash metal.
State of Deceit emerged from South Wales in 2021, delivering groove-laden thrash metal with a modern edge. Their riff-heavy approach draws from the Welsh tradition of hard-hitting, blue-collar metal.
State of Dystopia craft melodic progressive metal from the eastern Finnish cities of Kuopio and Iisalmi, building elaborate compositions that envision a broken future. Active since 2015, they bring dystopian ambition to the Savo region.
Glasgow's State of Grace pair death and thrash metal into a relentless dual assault. Since 2018, they have brought Scottish ferocity to bear on compositions that balance technical precision with unbridled aggression.
Komsomolsk-on-Amur's State of M.I.N.D. deliver technical death metal from Russia's Far East since 2014. Their acronymic psychological-state name and remote Amur River origins channel mental complexity from one of the country's most isolated industrial cities.
State of Neglect forge blackened doom metal from Erfurt in Thuringia, combining the atmospheric malevolence of black metal with doom's crushing deliberation. Formed in 2024, they bring blighted heaviness to the central German underground.
