Skydancer craft doom and gothic metal from the Estonian university city of Tartu, combining crushing heaviness with dark romantic atmospheres. Active since 2012, they bring ethereal grace to the Baltic doom scene.
Los Angeles's Skyeater formed in 2016 weaving black metal's icy dissonance together with doom metal's crawling tempos into a style they describe as a dirge — slow, bleak, and relentlessly oppressive. The band channels the kind of urban dread that tends to haunt Southern California's underground experimental metal scene.
Ljubljana's SkyEye pair heavy and power metal from the Slovenian capital since 2017. Their celestial-surveillance name channels the watchful gaze from above into anthemic compositions of Alpine capital energy.
SkyFall play melodic death metal from Regensburg, combining Scandinavian melodeath influences with their own Bavarian sensibility. Active since 2013, they bring harmonic sophistication to the Upper Palatinate extreme metal scene.
Black metal project from the southwestern Bulgarian town of Sandanski, active since 2019. Their output channels the genre's atmospheric menace from the foothills of the Pirin Mountains near the Greek border.
Podolsk's Skyforest have been crafting atmospheric post-black metal from the Moscow suburbs since 2014. Their nature-ascendant name channels the canopy meeting the sky into compositions of immersive, upward-reaching beauty that have garnered significant attention in the atmospheric black metal community.
Skygazers deliver power metal from Tampere, channeling the genre's upward-reaching anthemic energy. Formed in 2020, they bring star-gazing ambition to the Pirkanmaa power metal scene.
Skyggefolk ("Shadow People" in Danish) practice black metal from the Danish underground, channeling spectral darkness through atmospheric compositions. Active since 2017, they bring the paranormal intensity of shadow-being mythology to Scandinavian black metal.
Jacksonville, Florida's Skyliner have been one of the Southeast's more ambitious heavy metal acts since forming in 2018, working across heavy, progressive, and power metal to craft music built around strong melodic sensibility and technical range. They operate in the tradition of American power metal that values both songwriting and instrumental sophistication.
