Death Throne is a black/death metal band from Lyon, France, active since 1999. With over a quarter century of history, they are veterans of the Lyon extreme metal scene.
Death Tower plays ambient/black metal from Belgrade, active since 2017 and constructing towering atmospheric compositions that fuse black metal's tremolo darkness with ambient's immersive expansiveness. Their architectural name suits music built vertically — layer upon layer of sound.
Death Vomit is a raw black metal band from Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina, with a catalog of songs built around blasphemous and occult themes including titles like Ancient Spell of Evil and In War for Deliverance. The band has reached audiences well beyond the Balkans, with documented live appearances in Southeast Asia including shows in Indonesia and Singapore.
Death Wailing is a black metal band from London, England, formed in 2020. They deliver wailing black metal from the British capital.
Death Wrath is a black metal band from France. They channel wrathful black metal darkness.
Death Yell formed in Santiago in the late 1980s and recorded their 1989 demo 'Vengeance from Darkness' at Procor Studios, a release that achieved cult status in the global underground and led to split releases with Finland's Beherit and the Morbid Rites 7" on Seraphic Decay Records in 1992. After disbanding in 1991, the band reactivated and returned with the full-length 'Descent into Hell' in 2017, followed by the 'Asmodeus' Disciples' demo and the LP 'Demons of Lust' in 2025. Their sound draws on the raw, violent tradition of South American death and black metal, with clear debts to Brazilian extreme acts of the same era.
Chicago's Deathandserenity work in the atmospheric space where post-black metal softens into something closer to melancholy — bleak but not entirely without light, and fully rooted in the city's expansive underground. Active since 2018.

Out of Bismarck, North Dakota, Deathbed Dichotomy navigate the tension between blackened aggression and progressive metal's structural ambition — a pairing that feels especially stark given the band's remote northern plains origin. They've been at it since 2013.
