Daemon is a death metal and hardcore hybrid band from Antwerp, Belgium, whose 2016 debut EP Begotten Ruin introduced six tracks of death/black-infused hardcore. The record features a guest appearance from Cedric of Legion to Kill and signals a band intent on blurring the boundary between extreme metal and hardcore's visceral physicality.
Lawrence, Kansas is an unlikely home for symphonic death metal, but Daemon Poetica has been building their orchestral extremity there since 2015. Grand arrangements and death metal aggression share space in their sound, tilting toward the theatrical.
Daemona is a death metal band from Ipswich, England, formed in 2015. They deliver demonic death metal from East Anglia.
Daemonarchy crawls out of Crema in the province of Cremona with a savage fusion of raw black and death metal that prioritizes atmosphere and filth over technical precision. Their lo-fi, cavernous sound draws from the most abrasive corners of the Italian underground extreme metal scene.
Wisconsin's Daemoneon occupies the ferocious overlap between black and death metal, pulling from the uglier traditions of both to build something caustic and dense. Since 2009, the Waukesha outfit has refined a sound that owes equal debts to Scandinavian frost and American brutality.
Daemoniac hails from Milan and has released several records including Dwellers of Apocalypse and Spawn Of The Fallen, plus a cover of Brain Dead's "From the Ecstasy." Their death metal trades in dark, punishing riffage and occult-tinged imagery that nods to the classic Swedish and Italian death metal lineages.
Los Angeles' Daemonic approaches death metal with a directness befitting the city's storied extreme underground — no baroque ornamentation, just grinding heaviness and sharp, purposeful riffing. They've been at it since 2020, adding another entry to Southern California's long death metal legacy.
Daemonic Dreams is a melodic death metal band from Hamm, Germany, formed in 2017. They weave intricate melodies through aggressive death metal frameworks.
Daemonicus plays death metal from Umea in northern Sweden, active since 2021 and bringing demonic fury to a university city known for its progressive politics. Their Latin-inflected name channels infernal malice through the Swedish death metal tradition.
