Krasnoyarsk's Scalblood pair death and melodic death metal from the central Siberian capital since 2015. Their name and Yenisei River origins channel the scale of Siberian geography into compositions balancing brutality with melody.
Scalding Coffee Cup craft progressive and melodic death metal from the Alpine city of Grenoble, their everyday-life name adding absurdist contrast to their technical compositions. Emerging in 2025, they bring caffeinated intensity to the Dauphine scene.
Death metal band from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, formed in 2012 by vocalist Fernando Campos, guitarist Thiago Macedo Gil, bassist Bruno Mota, and drummer Marcelo Augusto. The band released debut full-length Synchronicity of Autophagic Hedonism in 2017, followed by Manufactured Existence Obsolescence in 2019 through Songs for Satan, and have shared stages with Krisiun, Vital Remains, and Rebaelliun.
Scape.Goat blend thrash and death metal from the northern French city of Douai, combining aggressive velocity with extreme metal's heaviness. Active since 2015, they bring sacrificial-victim intensity to the Nord-Pas-de-Calais scene.
Scapegoat is a death/black metal act formed in 2023 whose location remains unconfirmed, adding an air of anonymity fitting for music that operates at the intersection of two of extreme metal's most unforgiving traditions. Their approach suggests a rawness and adversarial intent typical of the underground black/death crossover.
Scapegoats fuse black metal, death metal, and metalcore from the Fribourg/Neuchatel area, forging a crossover sound that draws from multiple extremes. Formed in 2019, they represent the newer generation of Swiss heavy music that refuses to be confined to a single subgenre.
From the Pinzgau region of Salzburg province, Scapegod released their debut full-length "Dystopia" in August 2021, describing their style as black-influenced death/dark metal spanning everything from melodic, driving songs to misanthropic hate anthems with screaming guitars and fast double-bass drumming. The band pairs deep, guttural vocals with screaming delivery, giving their compositions a wide dynamic span.
Punishing Brutal Death Metal from Dallas/Fort Worth.
Dallas, Texas's Scaphism — named after the infamous ancient Persian torture method — have been delivering brutal death metal out of the DFW area since 2010, embodying the kind of morbid, relentless extremity that has defined Dallas's underground scene. Their technical approach to brutality sets them apart from more primitive peers, showcasing the melodic depth that can coexist with sheer sonic violence.
