Saint Petersburg's Stalwart have been pairing death and thrash metal since 2010. Over a decade from the cultural capital, their name of unwavering resolve has shaped compositions of dual-genre determination.
Finnish thrash metal juggernauts Stam1na stand apart by performing exclusively in Finnish, delivering technically proficient thrash with progressive and groove metal elements that have made them one of Finland's most popular heavy bands. Their relentless energy and complex arrangements across albums like 'Nocebo' and 'Novus Ordo Mondi' have earned them multiple Emma Awards, Finland's equivalent of the Grammys.
Salerno's Stamina explore progressive metal with the endurance their name demands since 2021. Their Campanian origins and persistence-themed identity suit compositions of sustained technical ambition.
Stammer is a death metal and grindcore band from Rocky Mount, North Carolina, formed in 2024, delivering short, explosive blasts of extremity that fuse grindcore's velocity with death metal's low-end brutality.
Stampede is a Lexington, Kentucky stoner and doom metal band formed in 2010, building slow, heavy grooves from the fertile ground between the psychedelic haze of stoner rock and the crushing weight of doom metal.
Stampede of Sloth channel sludge, stoner, and doom metal from Leipzig, their oxymoronic name perfectly capturing the paradox of their music: a stampede played in slow motion. Active since 2018, they bring crushing, glacial heaviness to Saxony's cultural capital.
Cheltenham's Stampin' Ground were one of the biggest metallic hardcore bands in the UK scene during the late '90s and early 2000s, bridging the gap between hardcore fury and thrash metal precision. Having toured with Sepultura, Hatebreed, and Anthrax, and played Download Festival's main stage, they returned in 2024 after a lengthy hiatus to celebrate the legacy of albums like 'Carved From Empty Words.'
Stanbrook play heavy metal from Alicante on the Mediterranean coast, channeling classic metal energy from the sun-drenched Valencian Community. Active since 2016, they bring traditional metal fire to southeastern Spain.
Stand Ablaze is a Pocatello, Idaho melodic death metal and metalcore band formed in 2021, combining the melodic harmonic sensibility of Scandinavian-influenced death metal with the structural intensity of metalcore.
