Stuart, Florida's Drowned Out blend deathcore's breakdown-driven architecture with the more technical vocabulary of death metal, a pairing they've been refining since 2015. Their sound lands in the brutal middle ground between the two genres — heavy enough for the pit, precise enough to reward close listening.
Drowning is a death metal band from Paris, France, active since 2005, whose sound evolved from hardcore/death metal into pure death metal. Their two decades of activity trace an arc toward uncompromising heaviness.
Drowning Hour is a death doom metal project from Shrewsbury, Shropshire, formed in 2025, built around multi-instrumentalist Craig Godbold with vocalists Kieran Scott and Kelly Godbold. Their debut EP Sanger Fra Dypet delivers three tracks of slow, atmospheric, and bleak death doom stretching past twenty minutes.
Chicago's Drug Honkey has been warping death and doom metal into something genuinely hallucinogenic since 2005, blending cavernous death metal with funeral-paced doom and a deeply psychedelic, experimental sensibility. Two decades into their existence, they remain one of the stranger and more uncompromising acts in the American underground, their music evoking a chemical dread few bands can match.
Out of Fort Collins since 2021, Drug Mouse fuses black metal's atmosphere and abrasion with death metal's brutality through an experimental lens that resists any straightforward genre read. The project pushes into disorienting, unpredictable territory, reflecting an appetite for deconstruction that has become a hallmark of Colorado's younger extreme metal crop.
Drugaddicted is a brutal death metal and grindcore band from Florence, Italy, formed in 2025. The project channels savage grinding death metal extremity from the Tuscan underground.
Drugger plays death metal from Tsimlyansk on the Don River, active since 2021 and delivering punishing compositions from a small town in Rostov Oblast. Their narcotic-agent name adds pharmaceutical menace to straightforward death metal brutality.
Drunad plays death metal and grindcore from Russia, active since 2018 and delivering the rapid-fire extremity both genres demand. Their mysterious name channels an air of the ancient and unknown into modern sonic violence.
Drunemeton is a melodic black and death metal band from Ropczyce, Poland, formed in 2014. The project channels atmospheric extreme metal from the Subcarpathian region.
