Charleston, South Carolina's Denounced Disgraced arrived in 2025 at the boundary of melodic death metal and deathcore, fusing the harmonic intensity of Scandinavian-influenced melody with the breakdown-fueled aggression that defines modern extreme American metal. As a debut-era act, they represent a new generation of Southern heavy music reaching for a more expansive sonic identity.
Dentellada is a death metal/crust band from Barcelona, Spain, formed in 2018. Their name meaning 'bite,' they deliver savage death metal fused with crust punk's raw aggression.
Deodium is a death/thrash metal band from Riga active since 2012, merging death metal's heaviness with thrash's velocity in the tradition of early Sepultura and Demolition Hammer. Their name suggests divine hatred — an intensity matched by their ferocious musicianship.
Deos is a black/death metal band from Annecy, France, formed in 2015. They play extreme metal from the Alpine lakeside city.
Dep plays groove/death metal from Steinkjer in Trondelag, active since 2006 and delivering nearly two decades of heavy, rhythm-centric compositions from central Norway. Their monosyllabic name matches a direct, no-nonsense approach to extreme metal.
Departed is a deathcore act from Banja Luka in the Republika Srpska entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina, delivering crushing breakdowns and guttural vocals from a region better known for turbo-folk than extreme metal. Their emergence speaks to deathcore's growing footprint across the Balkans.
