Space Murder is a death metal band from Sandstone, Minnesota, formed in 2018. Hailing from a small town in the rural Upper Midwest, they channel the isolation of their surroundings into a straightforward, punishing death metal attack.
Space of Variations formed in Ukraine in 2009, establishing themselves within the modern metalcore and alternative metal landscape before an early hiatus and reformation in 2015. Their full-length debut Mind Darknet (2018) announced a sound that blends metalcore aggression with electronic textures and progressive atmospheres. The band signed to Napalm Records and released IMAGO followed by Poisoned Art in February 2026, continuing to build their profile as one of Ukraine's most internationally visible metal acts. The band's output through the years of the Russian invasion of Ukraine has also given their music an added layer of cultural weight.
Space Rhÿno is a stoner metal band from Houston, Texas, formed in 2013. They deliver thick, fuzz-saturated riffs rooted in the heavy psychedelic tradition, drawing on Houston's long-running connection to sludge and stoner sounds.
Space Satan is a stoner/doom metal band from Monrovia, California, formed in 2016. Their sound combines the slow, crushing weight of doom with the hazy, riff-forward groove of stoner metal, owing a debt to the desert rock tradition of Southern California.
Dnipro's Space Sugar pair doom and stoner metal from the central Ukrainian metropolis since 2012. Over a decade from the Dnieper River city, their cosmic-sweetness name has channeled the saccharine vastness of space into compositions of fuzz-laden heaviness.

Ljubljana's Space Unicorn on Fire pair progressive and power metal from the Slovenian capital since 2013. Their deliberately absurdist name channels the cosmic spectacle of a burning mythical creature into over a decade of technically ambitious, convention-defying compositions.
Space Vikings are a power metal band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 2011. They blend soaring melodic hooks and galloping rhythms with a playful conceptual premise, landing squarely in the anthemic, high-energy tradition of American power metal.
Space Volvö bring stoner metal to Reykjavik with an automotive-themed name since 2025. Their tongue-in-cheek moniker belies a genuine commitment to fuzz-laden, riff-worshipping heaviness from the volcanic island.
