Darkeye is a groove metal band from London, England, active since 2013. They deliver heavy grooves with a dark-eyed intensity from the British capital.
Cincinnati thrash act Darkhold arrived in 2022 with old-school velocity and riff-first songwriting that owes its allegiance to the genre's 1980s Bay Area architects. No frills, no concessions — just heads-down thrash with Midwest directness.
David Csontos is an industrial groove metal and electronic artist from Bury St. Edmunds, England, formed in 2023. They merge industrial textures and electronic elements with groove metal.

Houston's Day of Reckoning pull from progressive metalcore and groove metal in equal measure, a combination that suits the city's taste for technically accomplished but physically punishing music.

Dauphin, Pennsylvania's Day of Wrath lay into groove metal's mid-tempo churn with focused, blunt-instrument intensity. Since 2019, they've built their sound around the kind of pummeling riff dynamics that demand a physical response from an audience.
Daymare is a groove metal band from Donetsk, Ukraine, formed in 2016. The project delivers heavy groove metal from the Donbas region.
