Dominanz plays industrial black metal from Bergen, active since 2011 and fusing mechanical rhythms with black metal's tremolo-driven aggression. Their German-spelled name adds a Teutonic industrial edge to compositions that bridge Bergen's legendary black metal scene with electronic extremity.

Domini Inferi is a black metal act from Schiedam near Rotterdam, active since 2006 and whose Latin name — "lords of the underworld" — frames their music as infernal sovereignty. Nearly two decades of atmospheric black metal have established them as fixtures of the South Holland underground.
Alhambra, California's Dominion have been carving out their corner of the West Coast death metal underground since 2016, trading in the kind of punishing, technically-minded brutality Southern California has long incubated. The band's Bandcamp presence under the "ashen" moniker hints at a sound steeped in ash-and-ruin imagery befitting the genre's bleakest tendencies. They represent the current generation of LA-area death metal acts keeping the flame burning in the shadow of the genre's old guard.
Dominion was a black metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2016 and now split up. The band released at least two recordings — the 2021 album "Hordes of Horror" and a 2022 self-titled album — through the Ashen Dominion Bandcamp page before ceasing activity.

Dominus Ira plays black metal from the small city of Michurinsk in Tambov Oblast, active since 2011 and whose Latin name — "Lord of Wrath" — channels divine anger into atmospheric compositions. Their rural central Russian origins lend authentic isolation to their black metal.
A black metal band from Linz, Upper Austria, formed in 1998 with lyrical themes centered on chaos, Sethianism, and philosophy. The band was active through 2002, after which they reformed and continued under the name Eschaton, releasing material including 'The Black Hordes of Lucifer' in 2023.
Domitorem is a melodic black and death metal project from London, formed in 2016. Their debut single Funeral was released as a limited run of 100 physical copies alongside a digital release, establishing their cross-pollination of black, death, and thrash metal styles.
