DoomThrone is a black/funeral doom metal project from Germany, active since 2009. They craft glacially slow funeral doom laced with black metal's bleakness.
Florida's DoomWake weaves together depressive black metal and funeral doom into a sound that feels like watching something beautiful rot in the subtropical heat — slow, suffocating, and shot through with cold tremolo melody. Active since 2017, the project operates at the intersection of hopelessness and atmospherics that defines the DSBM tradition, though their doom metal undercurrent adds a physical weight that purely black metal acts often lack. It's music that lingers long after it ends, like a fever that won't break.
Door Into Emptiness is an avant-garde black metal band from Gomel, Belarus, active since 2011 with an experimental discography spanning releases like 'Wave' and the 'Structur' series. Their unconventional approach incorporates ambient and electronic elements into a black metal framework.
A death/black metal band from Klagenfurt am Wörthersee, Carinthia, Austria, formed in 2004 and now split up. Their lyrical themes included Satanism, hate, and murder, placing them in the raw extreme metal underground of Carinthia.
Doppelgänger of Death is a raw black metal project from Czech Republic, active since 2011. Self-described as "raw epic black metal," they have released splits and a self-titled album exploring atmospheric darkness with lo-fi ferocity.
Dor is a depressive/post-black/doom metal project from Barbadas in Galicia, formed in 2022 and whose name carries the weight of longing and sorrow in multiple Romance languages. Their multi-genre approach layers the despair of DSBM, the expansiveness of post-black metal, and the crushing weight of doom into a deeply melancholic whole.
Dor Feafaroth plays black metal from Vladivostok on Russia's Pacific coast, active since 2004 and among the easternmost black metal acts in Europe-adjacent Russia. Their Tolkien-derived Sindarin name speaks to the fantasy-influenced strain of black metal.
Dorchadas is a raw and atmospheric black metal project from Scotland, formed in 2020 and self-described as "dark Scottish black metal," citing Ruadh's Sovereign as a primary inspiration. Prolific since their 2020 debut Sgail, the project has released numerous works including Uisge, Disciple of the Witness, and the 2025 EP A Twisted Blade Sheathed in Vertebrae.
Dordeduh plays atmospheric and progressive folk/black metal from Timisoara, formed in 2010 by former members of Negura Bunget and carrying forward that legendary band's vision of Transylvanian black metal infused with traditional Romanian folk elements. Their music weaves acoustic folk passages and ethnic instruments through expansive, spiritually charged black metal compositions that rank among Romania's most distinctive extreme metal output.
