Southern California's Deadcheck emerged in 2020 at the intersection of deathcore and death metal, pulling the bruising slam of the former through the structural ambition of the latter. They hit hard and leave little room to breathe.
Deaddrunk is a groove metal and death metal band from Frauenfeld, Switzerland, active since 2008 with a five-piece lineup featuring dual guitarists. Their 2017 EP 'BEWARE' was pressed in a limited run of 500 CDs, combining heavy groove riffs with melodic guitar work and dynamic vocals.
Chicago brutal death metal veterans Deaden have been flattening eardrums since 2010 with relentless, technically precise ugliness rooted deep in the city's underground. Few acts in the midwest brutal death scene match their longevity or their ferocity.
Deadest plays black/death metal from Finland, active since 2017 and pushing both genres to their most extreme conclusions — as their superlative name implies. Their music channels the relentless darkness of Finnish winters into compositions that combine black metal's atmosphere with death metal's crushing weight.
Deadfall is a death metal band from Belarus, active since 2011 and working within the country's underground extreme metal scene. Their sound channels raw, unrelenting death metal aggression through punishing riff work and guttural vocal delivery.
Deadflash is a black and death metal band from Katowice, Poland, formed in 2022. The project merges black metal's darkness with death metal's aggression from the Upper Silesian scene.
Deadflesh is a death metal band from Roskilde, Denmark, formed in 2022. They play crushing death metal from the historic Danish city.
Deadfreight of Soul is an Augsburg-based act blending melodic death metal with deathcore elements, pairing Gothenburg-inspired guitar harmonies with modern breakdowns and vocal versatility. Their poetic name — the dead weight carried by the soul — lends emotional depth to music that balances beauty with brutality.
Ohio's Deadfuck deliver metalcore with the blunt, unpretentious energy of the Midwest's DIY circuit, formed in 2018 and not especially interested in impressing anyone who isn't already in the pit. The name alone tells you everything about their philosophy.
