Disharmonik is a melodic black/death/thrash metal band from Bilbao, Spain, formed in 2020. They blend three extreme subgenres into a dissonant, powerful whole.
Dishate is a death metal and grindcore band from Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia, formed in 2018. The project channels savage grinding death metal from the Srem region.
Dished is a death metal band from Szczecin, Poland, formed in 2022. The project channels aggressive death metal from the West Pomeranian capital.
Dishonour plays blackened death metal from Porto, active since 2011 and channeling disgrace and moral corruption into ferocious extreme metal. Their code-of-conduct violation name drives compositions that assault with the fury of the wronged and the damned.
Dishonoured plays melodic death/heavy metal from the Uusimaa region, active since 2017 and bridging the gap between melodic death metal's aggression and traditional heavy metal's anthemic quality. Their old-English-spelled name suggests a code of honor violated — a dramatic tension reflected in their dynamic compositions.
A death/thrash metal band from Lienz, East Tyrol, Austria, begun as a solo project by lyricist and composer Harald Berger in 2017. Their debut full-length 'The Maze of Solitude' (2023) draws on Slayer, Exodus, and early Florida death metal, with lyrics addressing smartphone addiction, COVID-era control, and digital enslavement, after which Berger expanded the project into a full live band.
Disillumination is a black and death metal band from Moscow, Russia, formed in 2015. The project merges black metal with death metal from the Russian capital.
A New York death metal act formed in 2019, Disillusion deal in the kind of unvarnished aggression that draws from the genre's most foundational era — churning, mid-paced riffs giving way to burst-fire blasting. The name carries weight: this is death metal committed to excavating the darkest corners of the form without pretense.
Auburn, Alabama's Disillusioned have been one of the Deep South's steadfast death metal acts since forming in 2007, building their craft outside the usual genre epicenters. Their longevity speaks to a genuine commitment to the form, operating in a state not known for death metal infrastructure but all the more authentic for it.
