Djakda is a groove metal band from Romagny, France, active since 2013. They deliver heavy grooves from rural Normandy.
Buffalo's Dog Day Sunrise have been delivering groove metal with hard rock swagger since 2018, a fitting output from a rust belt city that has always responded to music with blunt physicality. Their sound sits in the working-class groove metal tradition — not flashy, not seeking approval, just heavy riffs driven forward with the kind of blue-collar conviction that never sounds forced.
Dog Tired is a groove metal band from Penicuik near Edinburgh, Scotland, formed in 2016. Their discography includes the albums Titan, It Came from the Sun, The Electric Abyss, and The Red Verse, all released through their own dogtiredmetal.com platform.
Dogtak is a groove/thrash metal band from Heidekreis, Germany, formed in 2025. They deliver aggressive groove-laden thrash from the Lüneburg Heath.
Minneapolis's Domidium came together in 2023 weaving melodic death metal's Scandinavian sweep with the gut-punch immediacy of thrash and groove metal, making for a sound that refuses to settle into any single lane. The Twin Cities have a long history of nurturing technical, eclectic metal acts, and Domidium carry that forward with a multi-dimensional approach spanning four subgenres. They are one of the more compositionally ambitious young acts to emerge from the region's current scene.
Dominicide is a thrash and death metal band from Glasgow, Scotland, formed in 2017. Their 2021 EP The Architecture of Oppression and tracks like The Orchestraitors and Once the Serpents Rise showcase their brand of politically charged thrash-death aggression.
