Dommkratt plays death metal from Saint Petersburg, active since 2015 and whose Swedish-derived name — meaning "car jack" — suggests the mechanical, lifting force of their heavy compositions. Their industrial-tool name suits the mechanical precision of their death metal.
Formed in Birmingham in 2018, Domnitor work the volatile intersection of death and black metal, a fusion that produces something uglier and more unpredictable than either genre alone. Their Bandcamp handle — "domnitorulrau," Romanian for "the evil ruler" — suggests a fascination with Eastern European black metal mythology and historical darkness. The blending of death metal's blunt physicality with black metal's atmospheric savagery gives their sound a distinctly volatile edge.
Donatus is a death metal band from the Mannheim/Heidelberg/Bad Rappenau area of Germany, formed in 2021. They deliver crushing death metal from the Rhine-Neckar region.
Donge is a death metal band from Markina-Xemein, Basque Country, Spain, formed in 2015. They deliver heavy death metal from the rural Basque interior.
Encinitas, California's Doodlebob have been running their death-grind operation since 2015, injecting the San Diego County scene with the kind of short, savage blasts the subgenre demands. The juxtaposition of a cartoon-adjacent name against grinding death metal brutality is part of the genre's long tradition of absurdist irreverence — but the music itself pulls no punches. Fast, ugly, and unafraid to be ridiculous, they are a product of Southern California's deep grindcore underground.
Doom Architect plays doom/death metal from Izhevsk, the capital of Udmurtia in the Urals, active since 2014. Their blueprint-maker name frames each composition as a carefully designed structure of crushing weight and sorrowful beauty.
Doom Pig plays experimental death metal from Berlin, active since 2017 and approaching the genre with the irreverence and unpredictability that the city's avant-garde scene demands. Their absurdist name hints at a creative philosophy that refuses to treat even death metal's most sacred conventions with reverence.
Doom Rot plays melodic death metal from Moscow, active since 2019. Their decay-themed name contrasts with the melodic beauty they weave through aggressive death metal frameworks, creating compositions that find brightness within decomposition.
Doom:VS is a funeral doom and death metal band from Saffle, Sweden, formed in 2006. The project crafts glacially slow and emotionally devastating doom.
