Austin noise rock pioneers. David Yow and David Wm. Sims went on to form The Jesus Lizard.
Scratched Surface blend death metal, thrash, and metalcore from Goppingen in Baden-Wurttemberg, creating a versatile extreme sound that draws from multiple aggressive genres. Their Swabian output bridges the gap between old-school extremity and modern heaviness.
Scrawn play melodic groove and heavy metal from Munich, blending rhythmic heaviness with memorable melodic hooks. Their Bavarian capital base gives them access to one of southern Germany's most vibrant music scenes.
A short-lived heavy/power metal band from Berg im Drautal in Carinthia, Austria, Scream were formed in 2003 and disbanded in late 2004, with members Guido, Gabriel, and Stefan going on to form the band Painkilla. Their brief existence left them as a minor but documented entry in the regional metal scene of the Carinthian Alps.
Turin's Scream 3 Days pair death and melodic death metal from the Piedmontese capital since 2014. Their name's implied endurance mirrors a commitment to sustaining intensity across their compositions.
Scream from Within deliver thrash metal from Schlehdorf in the Bavarian Alps, proving that aggressive metal can emerge from even the most picturesque Alpine settings. Active since 2014, they bring mountain-forged velocity to the German thrash scene.
Moscow's Scream in Darkness pair death and melodic death metal from the Russian capital since 2014. Their name of vocal extremity in shadow channels the cry from within darkness into compositions balancing brutality and melody.
Thrash metal band from Castanhal, Pará, formed in February 2008 by vocalist Thiago Leal, guitarist Ariel Casimiro, bassist Júnior Mattos, and drummer Claudio Camões. The band later expanded to a quintet with the addition of second guitarist Murilo Master, and released a self-titled EP in February 2011, recorded at Vertigo Studio in Belém — the release was featured in the Garage Demos section of Roadie Crew magazine that May.
Bari's Scream of Savage deliver heavy metal from Puglia since 2021. Their name captures the primal, unrestrained quality they bring to traditional metal from Italy's southeastern Adriatic coast.
