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.
Melodic death metal band from Rio Grande do Sul, formed in 2020. The band released the four-track EP These Lines of Pain in 2020, which included the songs "Dead Angel's Lullaby," "These Lines of Pain," "Veil of Tears," and "This Life You Hold."
A melodic death/progressive metal band from Graz, Scarecrow NWA have a catalog spanning albums "At the Back of Beyond," "Ishmael," "Transgression," and "IX," with an official presence at scarecrow.at. Their Graz base places them in the same regional scene as several other technically oriented Austrian metal acts.
Ruthless Melodic Death Metal from Denton.
Scarm evolved from melodic death metal into metalcore from Oulunsalo near Oulu, broadening their sound while maintaining northern Finnish intensity. Active since 2012, they bring Arctic-edge aggression to the Ostrobothnia scene.
Scarnival deliver melodic death metal from Hanover, combining Scandinavian-influenced melodeath riffing with the precision of northern German musicianship. Their Lower Saxon capital base connects them to a city with a strong tradition of heavy music.
Leksand's Scene of Decay deliver neoclassical melodic death metal from the Dalarna lakeside town since 2022. Their crime-scene name and Siljan origins channel the forensics of deterioration into technically ornate compositions.
Scherbenwald ("Forest of Shards") deliver melodic death metal from Munster, combining Scandinavian melodeath influences with their own Westphalian sensibility. Their evocative German name suggests a sound that balances beauty with brokenness.
