South Carolina's Dehiscence combine brutal death metal's clinical heaviness with goregrind's splatter-centric grotesquerie, a combination that arrived in 2022 with maximum visceral intent. Their surgical brutality lands somewhere between the slamming low end of brutal death and the chaotic, rapid-fire energy of goregrind — ugly by design and unapologetically so.
Dehonest is a death metal band from Nitra, Slovakia, formed in 2020. The project delivers aggressive death metal from western Slovakia.
Formed in Brussels in 2006 under the earlier name Cranial Autopsy, Dehuman play technically rigorous death metal drawing on the influence of Morbid Angel, Suffocation, and Atheist. Their debut Black Throne of All Creation (2012) on Kaotoxin Records was followed by the critically well-received Graveyard of Eden (2015), and the band has toured alongside acts including Cattle Decapitation, Severe Torture, and Blood Red Throne.
Dehuman Reign is a death metal band from Berlin, Germany, active since 2012. They deliver crushing, old-school-influenced death metal with unrelenting ferocity.
Dehumanaut is a melodic death/thrash metal band from Bristol, England, formed in 2020. They explore the cosmos through melodic death/thrash from the West Country.
Dehumanise is a death metal/crust punk band from Derby, England, formed in 2018. They fuse death metal heaviness with crust punk's raw fury.
Dehumanization plays brutal death metal from Goes in the province of Zeeland, formed in 2024 and stripping humanity away through mechanistic, punishing compositions. Their process-as-name captures the genre's ambition to reduce everything to its most primal, inhuman core.
Dehumanization Process is a technical/brutal death metal band from Paris, France, formed in 2017. They process humanity through technically demanding brutal death metal.
Louisville, Kentucky's Dehumanize formed in 2025, entering the brutal death metal arena with the blunt-force aggression that defines a subgenre with no patience for subtlety. Louisville has produced some genuinely heavy underground acts over the years, and Dehumanize look to continue that tradition with punishing, low-end-heavy brutality aimed squarely at the gut.
