please update this band

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.

State of Torment deliver melodic death metal and deathcore from Bad Salzuflen in North Rhine-Westphalia, combining Scandinavian melodeath with modern breakdown-driven heaviness. Formed in 2023, they bring anguished extremity to the Lippe region.

Leeds' Static Dress are reshaping post-hardcore for a new generation, blending 2000s-era aggression with experimental electronic elements, jazz inflections, and ambient world-building that creates an immersive sonic universe. Vocalist Olli Appleyard, who came to the band from a photography and videography background, brings a visual artist's sense of atmosphere to the band's dynamic, genre-defying compositions. Their debut album 'Rouge Carpet Disaster' drew comparisons to Underoath and Alexisonfire while establishing Static Dress as something genuinely novel in the UK heavy scene.
