D Aphelium plays black metal from the island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea, active since 2016 and channeling the remote, windswept character of Sweden's largest island into atmospheric compositions. Their astronomical name — aphelion, the point farthest from the sun — captures their music's cold, distant character.
D.R.A.B. plays death/black metal fused with hardcore punk from Stockholm, active since 2019. Their acronymic name and genre fusion create a confrontational sound that draws equally from Scandinavian extreme metal and hardcore's politically charged aggression.

Daat plays black metal from Saint Petersburg, active since 2015 and named after the hidden sephirah in Kabbalistic mysticism. Their esoteric reference points to a spiritually charged vision of black metal rooted in Jewish mystical tradition.
A brand-new entry from Denham Springs, Louisiana, Dachnavar traffics in raw black metal's harshest aesthetic — primitive, corrosive, and recorded with deliberate lo-fi ferocity. Formed in 2025, they're one of the scene's freshest voices in an intentionally ancient-sounding style.
Dadarioth is a black metal band from Issoudun, France, formed in 2024. They channel darkness through black metal from the French heartland.
Kingsport, Tennessee's Daedric Chamber conjures black metal alongside dungeon synth, weaving atmospheric darkness with medieval and occult imagery across both styles. The pairing is natural — both genres share an obsession with the ancient and the otherworldly.
Daedric Disciple is a black metal/dungeon synth project from the UK, formed in 2020. Named after the Elder Scrolls universe, they blend black metal with dungeon synth.
Daedrica is a death/groove/black metal band from Mieres in Asturias, active since 2013 and fusing three of extreme metal's most aggressive genres into a versatile hybrid. Their Elder Scrolls-referencing name hints at a fantasy-influenced imagination beneath the multi-layered brutality.
