Munich, DE · 2013–present · active
Skyborn forge heavy and thrash metal from Munich, combining the melodic power of classic heavy metal with thrash's aggressive edge. Active since 2013, they represent the dual-genre approach that thrives in the Bavarian capital's diverse metal scene.
Paraná, AR · 2013–present · active
Skyborn's is a heavy and groove metal band from Paraná, Entre Ríos, Argentina, with a lineup of brothers Santiago Vélez (guitar and vocals) and Agustín Vélez (bass and vocals), alongside Tomás Bianchini on drums and Lucio Arduino on guitar. The band released two demos — "Mentes en Destrucción" (2014) and "En Condena" (2015), recorded at FabUrcSA Studios and Stopway Productions — and have been featured on multiple Paraná Bandas regional compilations. Citing Metallica, Pantera, and Motörhead as influences, they have remained an active presence in the Entre Ríos regional metal scene.
NV, US · 2025–present · active
Nevada's Skyclad Cult emerged in 2025, blending black metal with ambient texture in the tradition of atmospheric USBM acts who use the genre's harshness as a vessel for something more expansive and ritualistic. Brand new and already working within an evocative conceptual framework that their name makes plain.
Nordkirchen, DE · 2000–present · active
Skyconqueror have been delivering heavy, power, and thrash metal from the Nordkirchen/Munster area since 2000, making them veterans of the Westphalian metal scene. Their quarter-century career and imperial name reflect ambitious, genre-spanning compositions.
Tartu, EE · 2012–present · active
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, CA, US · 2016–present · active
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, SI · 2017–present · active
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.
Regensburg, DE · 2013–present · active
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.
Sandanski, BG · 2019–present · active
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.
