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.
Space Wax are a San Diego, California band formed in 2014, straddling stoner, doom, and traditional heavy metal. Their sound leans into vintage-toned riffing and analogue warmth, drawing equally from classic heavy metal and the fuzzier end of the stoner/doom spectrum.
Space Weed are a stoner/sludge metal band from Cape Canaveral, Florida, formed in 2021. Their name and location lean into the cosmic joke of launching heavy, slow-burning riffs from the shadow of NASA's launch facilities on the Space Coast.
Spacebag is a progressive metal band from Seattle, Washington, formed in 2012. They operate within the technically ambitious and tonally adventurous side of progressive metal, reflecting the experimental sensibility that has long characterized the Pacific Northwest's heavy music scene.
Spacebeast is a sludge/stoner metal band from Portland, Oregon, formed in 2015. They combine the slow, grinding heaviness of sludge with the lysergic haze of stoner metal, fitting naturally into Portland's well-established heavy underground.
Spaceboots is a raw and depressive black metal project from Santa Rosa, California, formed in 2013. They work in the lo-fi, emotionally corrosive tradition of depressive black metal, pairing minimal production with bleak atmospheric intensity.
