Denata is a death and thrash metal band from Linkoping, Sweden, formed in 2012. The project fuses death metal with thrash velocity.
Named after the tail-star of Leo, Derry, New Hampshire's Denebola launched in 2025 with a cosmically bleak convergence of doom, death, and black metal that suits the cold granite desolation of New England. Their multi-genre approach maps the boundaries between suffocating heaviness and icy atmosphere, suggesting a young band already comfortable in dark, expansive territory.
Denial of Death is a black/death metal band from the Nuremberg/Würzburg area of Germany, formed in 2021. They confront mortality through savage black/death metal extremity.
Denial of Existence is a death/doom metal band from the Dormagen/Elsdorf area of Germany, formed in 2023. They explore nihilistic themes through oppressive death/doom heaviness.
Denicalis is a black and death metal band from Ostersund, Sweden, formed in 1999. One of the veteran extreme metal acts from the Jamtland region.
Denied is a progressive death metal band from Gera, Germany, active since 2012. They channel death metal through progressive structures and adventurous songwriting.
Denied Emotions is a melodic death metal band from Turin, Italy, formed in 2016. The project delivers emotionally charged melodic death metal with Scandinavian-influenced aggression from the Piedmontese scene.
Anaheim's Denied Existence have been grinding out uncompromising death metal in the shadow of Southern California's extreme scene since 2012. Their music is rooted in classic OSDM aesthetics — punishing rhythm work, cavernous vocals, and riffs built to crush rather than impress.
Denis Maloletnev plays melodic/progressive death metal from Kaluga, active since 2021 and bringing technical solo-artist compositions to the Russian melodeath scene. His personal-name format signals a one-person vision of complex, emotionally resonant extreme metal.
