Dirty Grave is a doom metal band from Orlândia, São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2013 by vocalist/bassist Mark Rainbow and guitarist Victor Berg, drawing heavily from proto-doom forebears like Black Sabbath and Pentagram while incorporating blues and psychedelia. The band released their debut full-length "Evil Desire" in 2017 and followed it with "Sin After Death" in 2019, the latter celebrating Satan and old-school metal. With two albums and several EPs, their releases have received coverage in international specialized metal media.
Dirty King is a doom and stoner metal band from Newcastle upon Tyne, England, formed in 2016. The project channels heavy, fuzzed-out doom and stoner riffs from the northeast English underground.
Greensburg, Indiana's Dis have been wielding black/death metal in the rural Midwest since 2018, an unlikely setting that only sharpens the isolation and fury in their sound. There is something fitting about extreme metal emerging from small-town Indiana — it sounds like it has nowhere else to go.
Disagradablement plays doom/death metal from Madrid, formed in 2020 and delivering the unpleasant heaviness their misspelled name suggests. Their sound combines funeral-paced doom with death metal's guttural extremity in compositions that descend slowly into the abyss.
Disarnicly is a funeral doom metal band from Krasnoyarsk, Russia, formed in 2024. The project crafts glacially slow and emotionally devastating doom from central Siberia.
Disembowelment, stylized as diSEMBOWELMENT, were a Melbourne, Australia death-doom duo formed in 1989 by guitarist/vocalist Renato Gallina and drummer Paul Mazziotta. The band released the Dusk EP (1992) and their sole studio album Transcendence into the Peripheral (1993) on Relapse Records before disbanding shortly after, having never performed live. AllMusic credits them as doom-grind pioneers, and they are widely recognized as forerunners of the funeral doom movement that emerged in subsequent years.
Disfallen plays doom/death metal from the Atlantic port city of Kristiansund, formed in 2022 and channeling Norway's coastal weather into slow, heavy compositions. Their name's suggestion of falling from grace carries into music that descends slowly and inevitably into crushing darkness.
Disjecta Membrae is a funeral doom metal band from Paris, France, formed in 2017. Their name meaning 'scattered remains,' they create glacially slow funeral doom.
Diskordia is a symphonic doom metal band from Newcastle upon Tyne, England, formed in 2026. The band merge the grandeur of symphonic metal arrangements with the crushing heaviness of doom metal.
