Deadly Intention is an Ostrava-based act fusing crossover, grindcore, and death metal into a hyperaggressive cocktail of extreme sonic violence. Active since 2018, they draw from Moravia's industrial landscape for an uncompromising sound that leaves no survivors.
Seguin, Texas's Deadly Mass bring death metal and hardcore together with the direct, no-wasted-motion approach of a band formed in 2023 with something to prove. The Hill Country may be known for country music, but Deadly Mass are here to correct that narrative.
Santa Rosa, California's Deadly Remains began as a death/thrash act in 2010 before pivoting hard into brutal death metal territory — a natural progression for a band that always prioritized punishment over accessibility. Wine country's most extreme export.
Deadly Sins is a melodic death/power metal band from Svendborg, Denmark, formed in 2022. They blend melodic death metal's intensity with power metal's soaring energy.
Deadly Trap is a death, progressive, and thrash metal band from the Collegno, Grugliasco, and Turin area of Italy, formed in 2018. The project blends technical death metal with progressive structures and thrash metal velocity.
Deadly Whispers is a death/black/thrash metal band from Tarbes, France, active since 2014. They deliver whispered death through a triple assault of extreme subgenres from the Pyrenees.
Deadman Glory plays technical death metal from Moscow, active since 2019 and seeking glory in the afterlife through precision-engineered compositions. Their paradoxical name — fame achieved in death — drives music that demands virtuosic execution.
Richmond, Kentucky's DeadMoon have been grinding out death metal since 1990, making them one of the more enduring acts to emerge from that region's underground. Decades in, the band keeps the flame of old-school brutality burning.
Deadnation is a death metal band from Tubarão, Santa Catarina, Brazil, playing old-school death metal with a strong Swedish influence, drawing heavily from 1990s acts such as Dismember and Entombed and employing the Boss HM-2 pedal for that classic chainsaw guitar tone. They released their debut album "Following the Path of Death" in March 2023, featuring eight tracks of brutal, riff-driven death metal. The band has been active on the Santa Catarina metal circuit, appearing at events such as Bruxa Fest alongside other regional acts.
