Draept is a black metal band from Sweden, formed in 2017. The project channels dark black metal.
Dragens Fange plays experimental black metal from Moscow, active since 2010 and whose Norse-derived name — meaning "the dragon's prisoner" — channels captivity and mythological menace into boundary-pushing compositions. Their experimental approach treats black metal as a foundation for sonic exploration.

Dragoria is a black and gothic metal band from Wroclaw, Poland. The project weaves gothic atmospheres into a black metal framework from the Lower Silesian capital.

Drakenhof — named for the vampire castle of Warhammer Fantasy lore — arrived in 2022 as an anonymous American black metal project, shrouded in the deliberate obscurity that suits both the name and the genre. Their approach is rooted in the raw, underground tradition, with the mythological and gothic trappings of the name hinting at a sound more interested in dark fantasy and occult menace than in contemporary atmospheric trends.
Drakmen is a black metal band from Cartago, Costa Rica, formed in 2008 and currently on hold. The band issued a limited-edition debut demo, The Hades Return, in November 2008 — originally pressed to 50 physical copies sold out at the Craneo Metal Gore Noise II event before receiving a digital release in 2014 — with lyrical themes drawing on occultism, horror, and universal mythology. Drakmen have remained unsigned throughout their existence.
