Tula's Shadows of Contempt deliver brutal death metal from the central Russian arms city since 2017. Their name of darkened scorn and weapons-manufacturing origins channel industrial contempt into compositions of technical extremity.

Shadowspawn deliver death and thrash metal from Copenhagen, channeling extreme aggression from the Danish capital. Active since 2017, they bring the dark intensity their fantasy-creature name promises.

Shadowthrone have been blending melodic death metal with gothic metal from Zweibrucken since 2000, making them veterans of the Rhineland-Palatinate extreme metal scene. Their quarter-century of activity has produced a body of work that balances aggression with dark romanticism.

Shakhtyor (named after the Russian word for "miner") were "formed in 2009 with the intention to do it slowly in every sense," crafting deliberate sludge/doom metal and post-rock from Hamburg. Their self-titled debut led to a deal with Cyclone Empire for re-release, followed by "Tunguska" in 2014.

Moscow's Shallow Rivers pair death and doom metal from the Russian capital since 2009. Over fifteen years, their name of diminished waterways has yielded compositions that explore the drying channels of existence.

Shallow Waters blend melodic, post-black, and doom metal from the Basque town of Arrasate-Mondragon, creating an atmospheric hybrid that draws from multiple dark genres. Formed in 2020, they bring Basque depth to the Spanish atmospheric metal scene.

Shaman Ritual practice black metal from Jyvaskyla, channeling shamanic spiritual traditions through extreme compositions. Active since 2017, they bring Finnish folk mysticism to the central Finnish black metal scene.
