Drift of Genes is a brutal death metal band from Debaltseve, Ukraine, formed in 2012. The project delivers punishing brutal death metal from the Donbas region.
Based out of Clifton and active since 2021, Dripping operate at the extreme outer edge of slam and brutal death metal, injecting experimental sensibilities into an already punishing framework. The result is something deliberately disorienting — dense slabs of down-tuned brutality interrupted by moments of calculated sonic wrongness that keep listeners off balance.
Drowned in Torment is a brutal death metal band from Manchester, formed in 2025 at college by drummer-vocalist Harrison Kershaw, guitarist Tommy Heyes, and bassist Will Watts. Their debut single Bathing in Fluoroantimonic Acid captures the raw energy of the trio's earliest compositions, with all production handled in-house.
Drugaddicted is a brutal death metal and grindcore band from Florence, Italy, formed in 2025. The project channels savage grinding death metal extremity from the Tuscan underground.
Duramater is a brutal death metal/goregrind band from Emden, Germany, formed in 2023. They push extreme boundaries with visceral brutality and goregrind excess.
Dvorhead is a brutal death metal band from Metz, France, active since 2002. With over two decades of brutality, they are veteran practitioners of French death metal.
Dysenterie is a brutal death metal band from Reims, France, formed in 2021. They deliver diseased brutality from the Champagne region.
Dyzarthria plays slam/brutal death metal from Irkutsk near Lake Baikal, formed in 2025 and named after the speech disorder caused by neurological damage. Their medical-term name drives compositions of maximum sonic disarticulation from Siberia's cultural heart.
