Deconstructing Sequence is a progressive black/death metal band from Taunton, England, active since 2013. They deconstruct extreme metal through progressive ambition from Somerset.
Decortication is a black and death metal band from Lulea, Sweden, formed in 2019. The project merges black metal with death metal from northern Sweden.
Bay Area act Decreation fuse melodic death metal's harmonic sensibility with the cold fury of black metal, emerging from Alameda in 2024 with a sound that prizes darkness over accessibility. Both elegant and unsparing.
One of Spokane's longest-running extreme metal acts, Decrepit have been plumbing the depths of raw black metal since 1993 — over three decades of stripped-down, unadorned darkness from the inland Pacific Northwest. A true underground survivor.
Parma, Ohio's Decrepit have evolved steadily since 1993, shifting from early death metal foundations toward a blackened edge over the years. Their longevity speaks to the durability of the northeast Ohio underground.
Boston's Decrepit Decapitation of a Man Once Lost in the Forest of Fate arrive in 2024 with one of extreme metal's most absurdly committed names and a sound to match — blackened deathcore colliding with death metal's raw, dissonant tradition. The title is a thesis statement.
Decrepit Monolith is a black metal band from Newcastle upon Tyne, England, active since 2014. They deliver monolithic black metal from the North East.
Decrepit Throne operate from an undisclosed location with a black/death metal sound that values atmosphere and menace over geographic identity. Since 2017, they've built a catalog steeped in ruinous, occult-tinged darkness.
Midwest-based Decrescent have charted a fascinating arc since 2018 — beginning in the angular complexity of technical death metal before pivoting toward black metal's more atmospheric, elusive darkness. Both phases are united by a relentless drive toward extremity.
