Deodium is a death/thrash metal band from Riga active since 2012, merging death metal's heaviness with thrash's velocity in the tradition of early Sepultura and Demolition Hammer. Their name suggests divine hatred — an intensity matched by their ferocious musicianship.
Deos is a black/death metal band from Annecy, France, formed in 2015. They play extreme metal from the Alpine lakeside city.
Dep plays groove/death metal from Steinkjer in Trondelag, active since 2006 and delivering nearly two decades of heavy, rhythm-centric compositions from central Norway. Their monosyllabic name matches a direct, no-nonsense approach to extreme metal.
Departed Souls plays death metal from Schoonebeek in Drenthe, active since 2014 and channeling the spirits of the dead through heavy, uncompromising compositions. Their remote, northeastern Dutch location adds genuine isolation to music already steeped in mortality.
Cocoa, Florida's Dephiled have been issuing brutal death metal from the Space Coast since 2018, channeling Florida's legendary extreme metal heritage into a relentless barrage of low-tuned aggression. Their music sits firmly in the brutal death tradition — technically demanding, punishingly heavy, and unapologetically abrasive.
Dephosphorus is a death/black metal and grindcore band from Athens, coined as "astrogrind" for their fusion of grindcore with science fiction and astronomy themes. Featuring guitarist Thanos Mantas, vocalist Panos Agoros, drummer John Votsis, and bassist Kostas Ragiadakos, their fifth album Planetoktonos (2025), mastered by James Plotkin, explores Dyson spheres and superintelligence inspired by The Expanse novels.
Depopulation is a brutal death metal/deathcore band from Selm, Germany, active since 2013. They combine slam-influenced brutality with deathcore's devastating breakdowns.
Deportation plays brutal death metal from Minsk, active since 2005 and among the longer-running extreme metal acts in Belarus. Their two decades of work have produced punishing, technically demanding death metal from a country whose underground scene remains largely unknown to Western audiences.
Depra plays death metal from Nis in southern Serbia, active since 2014 and delivering punishing extreme metal from the city that gave birth to Constantine the Great. Their abbreviated name drives compositions that get straight to the point — no frills, just brutality.
