SpaceMetal is a stoner metal band from New Orleans, Louisiana, formed in 2015. Emerging from a city with one of America's richest heavy music traditions, they channel the amplified, riff-driven weight of stoner metal with the slow, humid groove endemic to the Crescent City's underground.
SpaceRockDroid play heavy metal from an undisclosed Swedish location since 2019. Their triple-compound name merging cosmos, rock, and android channels the intersection of space, music, and technology into traditional metal compositions.
Spacetrucker is a grunge-inflected stoner metal band from St. Louis, Missouri, formed in 2016. They blend the fuzz and heavy low-end of stoner metal with the loose, blue-collar swagger of grunge, fitting well within the Midwest's tradition of unpretentious heavy rock.
Spaisekult is a Vermont-based progressive sludge metal and hardcore band formed in 2022. They meld the caustic, slow-burning density of sludge metal with hardcore's propulsive urgency and progressive metal's structural ambition, operating on the experimental edge of all three genres.
Spalter play thrash metal from Hamburg, delivering the splitting intensity their German name ("Splitter") promises. Active since 2011, they've been a consistent force in the Hanseatic city's thrash scene.
Spancer have been channeling sludge and doom metal from Brunswick since 2001, making them one of Lower Saxony's longest-running sludge/doom acts. Their quarter-century of activity represents a sustained commitment to crushing, slow-motion heaviness.
Spanghew is a sludge metal band from Seattle, Washington, formed in 2025. A newly emerged outfit in one of the country's most storied heavy music cities, they carry on the Pacific Northwest tradition of punishing, low-and-slow sludge metal.
Spania channel pagan black metal from Barcelona, drawing on pre-Christian Iberian traditions to fuel their extreme compositions. Formed in 2023, they bring Hispano-pagan intensity to the Catalan black metal scene.
Ennis' Spare deliver thrash metal from County Clare with no-frills efficiency since 2013. Their appropriately minimal name signals an approach that strips the genre down to its most essential, hard-hitting components.
