Grand Rapids, Michigan's Desecrated Firmament have been a force in the Midwest black metal underground since 2006, building a body of work that is rooted in the harsh, orthodox traditions of the second wave. Their two-decade career makes them one of the more enduring black metal acts to emerge from the Great Lakes region.
Desecration of Mankind is a black metal band from Oleksandriia, Ukraine, formed in 2020. The project channels dark black metal from the Kirovohrad region.
Desecration Rites is a raw black metal band from Zaragoza, Spain, formed in 2016. They perform unholy rituals through raw, uncompromising black metal from Aragón.
Grants Pass, Oregon's Desecrator fuse thrash metal's velocity with black metal's icy, malevolent atmosphere, a combination that has defined their sound since 2011. Southern Oregon's remote, forested terrain feels embedded in the darkness of their black/thrash hybrid.
Desecrator of Ichor is a bestial black/death metal band from Greece, formed in 2024 and releasing through Casket Sanctuary Productions.

Desenterro is a one-man black metal project from Londrina, Paraná, Brazil, formed in 2023. The project released its debut album "Assombrado Pela Ajuda Futurista" in November 2023, a seven-track work featuring Portuguese-language lyrics that explore existential and sociopolitical themes within an atmospheric black metal framework.
California's Desert Eagle have been cultivating a raw, atmospheric black metal sound since 2014, working in the solitary, lo-fi tradition that values isolation and austerity over polish. Their music has the sparse, wind-stripped quality of the California high desert — stark, severe, and unapologetically grim.
Desert Priest is a black and doom metal band from Dnipro, Ukraine, formed in 2015. The project merges black metal with doom metal from the Dnieper River city.
Desfiladeiro is a black metal band from São Borja, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, drawing on a dark, visceral sound that combines black metal with elements of death and thrash metal. Their lyrics, written in Portuguese, address nihilism, misanthropy, and mental illness. The band released their debut full-length "Nihil" in 2025, featuring tracks such as "Funeral de Párias" and "Profundo Abismo."
