Dementiae is a black metal band from Santiago, Chile, whose members perform under the names Satanya, Draco, and Demonamorthus. Their debut demo Between Dementia and Death, released through Pagan Forest Records and Black Crusade Productions in a limited edition of 100 CD copies, draws on the atmospheric and depressive currents of early Burzum alongside elements of doom metal.
Demersal is a post-black metal and hardcore act from Odense, Denmark, active since 2017 and creating music that occupies the ocean depths their name evokes. Their hybrid approach pairs black metal's atmospheric tremolo work with hardcore's emotional directness and rhythmic punch.
Las Vegas's Demesic have been navigating the bleak crossroads of black and death metal since 2009, pulling from both traditions to create something that feels appropriately suited to a city of extremes. The desert heat and neon despair of their surroundings seem to bleed into the atmospherics of their blackened death assault.
Demeter is a black metal band from Cork, Ireland, formed in 2012. The band channel raw black metal intensity from the south of Ireland.
Fargo, North Dakota's Demifiend channel black metal's most atmospheric and unforgiving tendencies from one of the coldest and most remote cities in the American interior. Formed in 2016, their music captures something of the region's elemental hostility — wind-blasted and desolate, the way black metal at its best should feel.
South Carolina's Demiser have been one of the more ferocious entries in the blackened thrash revival since forming in 2018, dealing in the raw, speed-obsessed hybrid that traces its lineage back to early Sodom and Bathory. Nasty, lo-fi, and proud of it — Demiser play as if the underground metal underground never got polished out of existence.
Raleigh's Demiurge work the vast and mist-filled territory of atmospheric black metal and ambient music, channeling the North Carolina piedmont's woodlands and transient weather into sweeping, immersive compositions. Formed in 2017, they belong to the American post-black metal tradition that treats the genre as a vehicle for landscape and introspection as much as aggression.
Westchester County's Demiurge take a blackened melodic death metal approach that fuses the aggression of both traditions into something darker and more textured than either produces alone. Formed in 2017 in the shadow of New York City, they draw on the metropolitan area's dense metal ecosystem while pursuing a sound that's more atmospheric and nocturnal than the typical underground.
Demiurgo is a black metal band from Berazategui, Buenos Aires, formed by brothers Federico Storni (vocals/lead guitar) and Matías Storni (rhythm guitar), with Leandro González on drums and Gonzalo Villarreal on bass. The band released their debut album "Dark Feeling" (2021) on the Metal Eterno label and has supported major international black metal acts including Gorgoroth, Watain, Behexen, Horna, and Mgła at Argentine shows.
