Disact is a death metal and grindcore band from Tolyatti, Russia, formed in 2011. The project channels savage grinding death metal from the Volga region.
Disadaptive is a death metal band from Moscow, Russia, formed in 2020. The project delivers aggressive death metal from the Russian capital.
Disaffected started as a death/thrash metal act in Oeiras before evolving toward progressive death metal, adding complexity and nuance to their already aggressive foundation. This stylistic deepening reflects a band willing to grow beyond their early brutality into more challenging compositional territory.
Disagio is a melodic death metal band from Palazzolo sull'Oglio, in the Brescia province of Lombardy, Italy, formed in 2004. The project has delivered over two decades of melodic death metal from the Lombardy underground.
Disagradablement plays doom/death metal from Madrid, formed in 2020 and delivering the unpleasant heaviness their misspelled name suggests. Their sound combines funeral-paced doom with death metal's guttural extremity in compositions that descend slowly into the abyss.
Disarmonia Mundi is a melodic death metal band from Avigliana, near Turin, Italy, formed in 2001. After nearly a decade away, the band returned with 'The Dormant Stranger' in 2025, continuing their signature melodic death metal marked by beautiful choruses and heavy riffing.
Disassemble is a death and thrash metal band from Petrovac na Mlavi, Serbia, formed in 2015. The project fuses death metal with thrash metal velocity from the Branicevo region.
Disassembled plays progressive death metal from Lisbon, active since 2008 and taking apart conventional song structures to rebuild them in more complex, unexpected configurations. Their mechanical name suits a methodical approach to deconstructing and reassembling extreme metal.
Disasterhate is a death and thrash metal band from Catania, Sicily, formed in 2018. The project delivers devastating death/thrash aggression from the Sicilian underground.
