Arnhem's Spit for the Masses channel black metal from the Gelderland capital since 2024. Their confrontational, populist-contempt name suits compositions of raw hostility from the city famous for its WWII bridge.
Spiter is a Philadelphia black metal and punk band formed in 2021, blending the raw antagonism of black metal with the stripped-down aggression of punk in a style reminiscent of black n' roll and black punk hybrids.
Spitting Black is a Boston-based band formed in 2006 that fuses the rawness of black metal with the aggression of hardcore punk, delivering a caustic blend of blast beats and d-beat rhythms. Their sound sits in the tradition of the black metal/hardcore crossover that flourished in the northeastern US underground.
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.
Novara's Splēne channel black metal with an accented spelling since 2025. Their Piedmontese origins and bile-themed name suggest compositions steeped in bitterness and raw, unprocessed negativity.
Spontaner Freitod ("Spontaneous Suicide") channel black metal from the German underground, exploring the genre's most nihilistic and despairing themes. Active since 2015, their confrontational name reflects the emotional extremity of their music.
Sporulation channel melodic black metal from Madrid, drawing their biological name (referring to spore formation) from the natural world. Formed in 2020, they bring organic, spore-spreading darkness to the Spanish capital's black metal scene.
Vienna-based project fusing industrial textures with post-black metal intensity since 2017, Sprawl occupies a distinctive niche between electronic abrasion and atmospheric black metal. Their sound layers harsh mechanized elements over tremolo-picked guitars and blast beats, creating a dissonant, forward-thinking hybrid.
Spring Heeled Jack draw on Liverpool's rich counter-cultural history, blending black metal with experimental tendencies since 2017. Named for the Victorian phantom, their sound is as elusive and unsettling as their namesake.
