Kansas City's Dead on Collision smash death metal, grindcore, and hardcore into a single explosive wreck, built for speed and maximum damage. Formed in 2023, they operate with the urgency of a band with nothing to prove and everything to destroy.
Dallas' Dead Rising have been a fixture of the North Texas extreme underground since 2016, churning out death metal and grindcore that owes as much to blast-beat brutality as to the relentless D/FW scene that surrounds them. Fast, violent, and unapologetically extreme.
Dead Rot Chilly Grinders plays death metal and grindcore from Belgrade, active since 2019 and delivering the grotesque, decomposition-themed extremity their name describes. Their elaborate, descriptive name leaves nothing to the imagination about their sonic intentions.
Pittsburg, California's Dead Thrust combine death metal and grindcore into short, focused bursts of pure aggression, coming up in 2020 out of the Bay Area's long history of extreme underground music. Compact and merciless.
Albuquerque's Dead Wretch grind black metal and death metal down to something rawer and more chaotic, folding grindcore velocity into their desert-blasted extremity. Since 2016, they've been one of New Mexico's most relentlessly hostile exports.
Ohio's Deadfuck deliver metalcore with the blunt, unpretentious energy of the Midwest's DIY circuit, formed in 2018 and not especially interested in impressing anyone who isn't already in the pit. The name alone tells you everything about their philosophy.
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.
Dallas's Deadtooth throw crossover thrash, death metal, and grindcore into a blender and dare you to keep up — messy, fast, and completely uninterested in making it easy on the listener. Since 2009, they've been one of the DFW underground's most chaotically reliable exports.
Elizabeth, New Jersey's Deadworld blend blackened deathcore into a suffocating whole, treating melody as a rumor and atmosphere as a weapon since 2015. Their music sounds as grim and industrially corroded as their city's waterfront skyline.
