Deafknife plays post-black metal from Krasnoyarsk in central Siberia, active since 2011 and channeling the vastness of the Yenisei River basin into expansive, atmospheric compositions. Their name's juxtaposition of deafness and cutting suggests music that wounds silently.
Deafness is a black and thrash metal band from Gdansk, Poland, formed in 2017. The project fuses black metal's rawness with thrash metal's velocity from the Baltic coast.
Deakon plays black/death metal from Syktyvkar in the Komi Republic, active since 2013 and delivering extreme metal from Russia's sub-Arctic taiga. Their corrupted-clergy name channels religious transgression through the lens of extreme northern isolation.
Columbus, Ohio's Deapscufa began in raw black metal territory before evolving toward symphonic grandeur, adding orchestral sweep to their darkness over years of activity since 2022. Their trajectory reflects genuine artistic restlessness.
Austin's Dearly Departed work in the depressive and post-black metal space, channeling the emotional weight of those subgenres through Texas's capital city's increasingly restless underground since 2018. Moody, bleak, and atmospheric.
Death + Decay is a one-person experimental black metal and noise project from Dublin, Ireland, formed in 2021. The solo project's releases Persuasive Integration and Dissuasive Isolation explore the intersection of metal and noise, described by the creator as suitable for activities ranging from hiking and yoga to social revolts.
Los Angeles's Death and the Lament treat experimental black/death metal as genuine sonic research, pushing the boundaries of both genres into uncharted and often unsettling territory since 2014. Their work rewards listeners willing to sit with discomfort.
Atlanta's Death Beast attack from the black/thrash crossroads with feral intensity and zero interest in restraint since 2018. Their music carries the confrontational heat of the South's underground metal scene at its most unfiltered.
Death Beauty is a depressive black metal project from Toulon, France, formed in 2019. They explore the beauty in darkness through raw DSBM from the Mediterranean coast.
