Dead Sky Morning is an atmospheric black metal project from Finland, formed in 2020. They paint bleak dawn skies through immersive atmospheric black metal.
Dead Slow Hand is a ritualistic black metal duo from the Slany/Kladno area of the Czech Republic, whose 2025 EP 'NU^L' is described as a four-part descent into spiritual destruction and purification. The project features contributions from the British occult scene and production by Harpak Karnig of the Ardawahisht Kollective.
Dead Sun plays raw black metal and noise from Russia, active since 2017 and channeling the death of stellar light into lo-fi, abrasive compositions. Their cosmic-extinction name drives music that combines black metal's atmospheric darkness with noise's textural assault.
Blackened sludge/doom metal with crust influences from Dallas.
Rooted in Michigan's remote Upper Peninsula since 2001, Dead to Earth play black metal shaped by genuine geographic isolation — cold, raw, and stripped of any urban pretense. Few American black metal acts can claim a setting that so naturally informs the music.
Dead to Me is a black and death metal band from the Netherlands, formed in 2006. The project delivers dark and aggressive extreme metal from the Dutch underground.
Philadelphia's Dead Until Dawn conjure cold, atmospheric black metal in one of the East Coast's most unlikely cities for the genre, turning urban grit into frost-bitten misanthropy. Active since 2010, they've built a quietly devoted following in the Philly underground.
Santa Cruz's Dead War weaponize blackened death and thrash into something relentlessly combative, pulling from the raw Pacific coast tradition of filth and speed. Since 2016, they've burned through every genre boundary their name implies.
Dead Wasteland started as a death metal act in the Siberian city of Tomsk before evolving toward ambient and atmospheric black metal. This dramatic transformation — from direct brutality to immersive atmosphere — mirrors the vast, empty landscapes of western Siberia.
