Houston's Dreogan entered the death metal scene in 2019 with the grim focus of a band that knows exactly what it wants to accomplish. Drawing from the deep well of the genre's traditions, they craft brutal, technically competent death metal that taps into the long-running Texas tradition of punishing extremity.
Drept is a black metal band from Trondheim, Norway, formed in 2017. The project channels dark and aggressive black metal from the historic Norwegian city.
Frigid Black Metal from Houston.
Dreven is a black metal band from Prague, Czech Republic, active since 2015. They explore dark, atmospheric black metal with roots in Eastern European tradition.
Dreyra is a melodic death/black metal band from Tampere, Finland, formed in 2023. They deliver bleeding melodic extremity from Finland's industrial heartland.
Dried Resin is an instrumental raw black metal project from Poschiavo, Switzerland, driven entirely by The Archdruid with occasional guest contributions. Their 2019 self-titled debut features three atmospheric compositions with track names drawn from fantasy lore, delivered through a raw, unpolished black metal aesthetic.
Drill plays depressive black metal from Russia, active since 2019 and boring through emotional defenses with relentless, anguished compositions. Their mechanical-tool name captures the repetitive, piercing quality of DSBM's most hypnotic strains.
Tampa's Dritt Skit — a name borrowed from Norwegian profanity — emerged in 2015 with a cold, stripped-down black metal attack that feels out of place in Florida's humid warmth, which may be precisely the point. Their music channels the grim isolation of the Scandinavian tradition filtered through an American underground sensibility.
Drittmaskin is a black, speed, and thrash metal band from Breim, Norway, formed in 2018. The project fuses black metal's rawness with speed and thrash metal's relentless velocity.
