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.
From North Andover, Massachusetts, Scanning Antarctica have been building progressive and power metal compositions since 2014 — melodic, technically ambitious music that favors intricate arrangements and soaring clean vocals over the heavier extremes of the genre. Their location in the New England metal underground lends them a certain craftsman's quality, precise and deliberate in both construction and execution.
ScaraSaton explore progressive metal from an undisclosed Russian location since 2021. Their name merging scarab and Satan channels Egyptian-infernal themes into technically ambitious compositions.
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.
Conceived by Martin Moser in Salzburg and originally formed in 2004 as a gothic metal project, Scargod reinvented themselves in 2013 as a melodic extreme metal band, releasing records including "Sacrilegious Symphonies" and "Krankheit Mensch." The project draws from dark and extreme influences without rigid genre constraints, incorporating both gothic atmosphere and blackened aggression.
Novara's Scarlet My Lady explore progressive metal since 2019. Their romantically charged name contrasts with the Piedmontese industrial setting, suggesting compositions that balance emotional beauty with technical ambition.
Devastating Progressive Death Metal from San Antonio.
Scarset Rebellion craft progressive and technical death metal from the Bayonne/Bordeaux corridor, building demanding compositions from the Basque-Aquitaine region. Emerging in 2025, they bring scarlet rebellion to southwestern France.
Scenery Channel craft progressive rock and metal from the northern Finnish city of Oulu, building elaborate compositions that channel the vast Arctic landscapes of their surroundings. Active since 2016, they bring cinematic prog to the Ostrobothnia region.
