Gilbert, Arizona's Dehumanizer blend thrash and death metal in the sun-scorched Phoenix suburb that's become a genuine breeding ground for extreme music in the desert Southwest. Formed in 2018 and operating through the Ozone Morte Bandcamp, they bring a gritty, mid-paced aggression to a genre combination that has always thrived on heat and hostility.
Dei Gratia is a death/groove metal band from southern Denmark, formed in 2015. They merge death metal's brutality with groove metal's rhythmic power.
Los Angeles' Deified have been weaving progressive and melodic death metal together since 2014, operating in a city where technical ambition and raw extremity have long competed and coexisted in the underground. Their sound bridges Scandinavian melodic death metal's harmonic sensibility with a more progressive, arrangement-minded approach that sets them apart from straightforward melodeath acts.
Los Angeles' Deimos have been working a progressive groove/thrash metal hybrid since 2000, pulling from the rhythmic muscle of groove metal and the intellectual ambition of progressive rock while keeping the aggression of thrash firmly in the center. The LA underground gave them room to develop a dense, layered sound built for listeners who demand both technicality and physical impact.
Deimos Rising plays groove metal from Blackpool, active since 2021 and named after the Greek god of dread. Their seaside-resort origins contrast sharply with music built on heavy, menacing grooves designed to inspire the terror their namesake personifies.
Dejanira is a groove metal, metalcore, and thrash metal band from Bergamo, Italy, formed in 2017. The project blends aggressive groove riffing with metalcore intensity and thrash metal velocity.
Toms River, New Jersey's Delirium Tremens have been playing thrash metal since 1999, named after the violent symptoms of alcohol withdrawal — a suitably unhinged reference for a band with decades of riff-driven aggression behind them. Their Bandcamp handle, fuckposersfucktrends, is a statement of intent that has defined their approach for over two decades.
Delugge is a metalcore/groove metal band from Barcelona, Spain, formed in 2023. They deliver a flood of heavy grooves and metalcore intensity from the Catalan capital.
Demagoda is a progressive death/groove metal band from Newcastle upon Tyne, England, active since 2007. They deliver ambitious progressive death/groove from the North East.
