Dream Projector is an experimental black metal project from Finland, active since 2014. They project dreamlike visions through experimental black metal.
Based out of Clifton and active since 2021, Dripping operate at the extreme outer edge of slam and brutal death metal, injecting experimental sensibilities into an already punishing framework. The result is something deliberately disorienting — dense slabs of down-tuned brutality interrupted by moments of calculated sonic wrongness that keep listeners off balance.
Chicago's Drug Honkey has been warping death and doom metal into something genuinely hallucinogenic since 2005, blending cavernous death metal with funeral-paced doom and a deeply psychedelic, experimental sensibility. Two decades into their existence, they remain one of the stranger and more uncompromising acts in the American underground, their music evoking a chemical dread few bands can match.
Out of Fort Collins since 2021, Drug Mouse fuses black metal's atmosphere and abrasion with death metal's brutality through an experimental lens that resists any straightforward genre read. The project pushes into disorienting, unpredictable territory, reflecting an appetite for deconstruction that has become a hallmark of Colorado's younger extreme metal crop.
Drutty is an experimental black/doom metal band from Kopřivnice, Czech Republic, active since 2009. Their album "Lašské bahno" reflects a deeply regional identity, combining imperfect noise rock textures with metal storytelling rooted in their Moravian-Silesian homeland.
Dura Mater is an experimental/thrash metal band from Athens, Greece, formed in 2020. The band merge the speed and precision of thrash metal with experimental compositional approaches.
Dussias is a Madrid-based project that has evolved from various stylistic experiments into experimental doom/death metal, embracing the freedom to mutate and transform. Their willingness to reshape their sonic identity speaks to a creative restlessness that sets them apart from more genre-bound acts.
Taking their name from Jewish folklore's restless spirit, Boulder, Colorado's Dybbuk have woven together Viking, folk, and black metal since 2012, creating a distinctly atmospheric brand of pagan metal grounded in mythological imagery and sweeping melodic sensibility.
Dysfunctional is an experimental groove metal band from Nantes, France, active since 2011. They push groove metal into experimental territory from the Loire estuary.
