Dea Marica is a doom/death metal band from London, England, active since 2012. Named after the Italian goddess, they deliver crushing doom/death from the British capital.
Lansing, Michigan's Dead Daughters sink deep into the overlap between stoner and doom metal, building slow, haze-soaked riffs that feel at once colossal and oddly meditative. The Rust Belt atmosphere seeps into every drawn-out note.
Dead Existence is a sludge/doom metal band from London, England, active since 2007. With nearly two decades of crushing heaviness, they are veterans of London's sludge/doom scene.
Nashua, New Hampshire's Dead Harrison fuse doom's meditative weight with stoner metal's psychedelic warmth, forming a hazy, riff-worshipping sound since 2014 that draws equally from classic heavy metal and smoke-filled basement jams.
Dead in the Water is a band from Hämeenlinna, Finland, active since 2013, whose sound evolved from hardcore into melodic doom/death metal. Their transformation reflects a deepening embrace of heavy, melancholic metal.
Framingham, Massachusetts's Dead Languages have been speaking in the slow, crushing dialect of sludge and doom since 2012, pulling from New England's bleak winters and dense underground. Their music communicates something ancient and unspeakable.
Dead Monuments is a doom metal band from Miskolc, Hungary, active since 2002. With over two decades of activity, the band have maintained a presence in the Hungarian doom metal scene through their self-titled release and earlier demo material.
Chicago's Dead of Winter specialize in the slow, crushing intersection of death and doom, conjuring the grim weight of a Great Lakes winter that never quite ends. Heavy, deliberate, and suffocating in all the right ways.
Oshkosh, Wisconsin's Dead Ringers move at the slow, hypnotic pace of doom and stoner metal, letting fuzz and repetition do the heavy lifting. Their sound suits a frozen Wisconsin winter — patient, heavy, and deeply immersive.
