Drom is a black/folk metal band from Épernay, France, active since 2011. They blend black metal with folk traditions from the Champagne region.
Drone Rivers is a black metal/drone project from Haderslev, Denmark, formed in 2018. They merge black metal's intensity with hypnotic drone repetition.
Drought is an avant-garde black metal band from Aubagne, France, formed in 2023. They deliver parched avant-garde black metal from Provence.
Dayton, Ohio's Drowner approach heavy music from multiple angles at once — their sound stacks blackened atmosphere on top of droning sludge on top of doom's slow collapse, arriving at something genuinely disorienting in the best possible way. Active since 2022, they belong to a tradition of Midwestern bands that find emotional extremity in sonic density.
Drownfall is a black metal band from Berlin, Germany, formed in 2021. They create drowning, engulfing black metal atmospheres.
Drowning Hope is a black metal and dark ambient project from Strasbourg, France, formed in 2015. They drown hope through black metal and ambient darkness from Alsace.
Drowning in Negative is a depressive suicidal black metal project from Minsk, Belarus, specializing in atmospheric DSBM with extended, melancholic compositions. Their 2024 debut 'Sea of Depression' features sprawling tracks exceeding ten minutes, building oppressive emotional weight through slow, anguished passages.
Druadan Forest is an epic/atmospheric black metal and dungeon synth project from Hyvinkää, Finland, formed in 2016. They create Tolkien-inspired atmospheric black metal and dungeon synth soundscapes.
Madison's Drucastil arrived in 2022 with raw black metal that strips the genre down to its most unforgiving essentials — lo-fi production, freezing atmosphere, and a contempt for polish that signals absolute commitment to the form's underground roots. They carry forward the raw black metal tradition with no interest in softening its edges.
