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.
Madison, Wisconsin's Demento have been at it since 2003, a longevity that speaks to a genuine commitment to heavy and groove metal in a city better known for indie and experimental music. Their groove-driven attack is built on thick mid-tempo riffs and a rhythmic confidence that only comes from years of grinding on the road.
Demifrag is a groove and thrash metal band from Istanbul, Turkey, formed in 2016. The project merges heavy groove riffing with thrash velocity.
Pittsburgh's Deminion have been forging groove and thrash metal since 1998 — one of the longer-running bands in Pennsylvania's underground, with the battle-tested tightness to show for it. Steel City's industrial legacy seems embedded in their sound: heavy, mechanical, relentless.
Atlanta's Demitri arrived in 2023 with a groove and thrash metal approach suited to a city that has always rewarded heavy riffs with a rhythmic backbone. Young and sharp, they channel the thrash/groove hybrid that defined much of the 1990s extreme metal landscape but give it a distinctly Southern swagger.
Demiurgo plays groove metal from Granada, active since 2009 and channeling the philosophical concept of the flawed creator god into heavy, rhythmically driven compositions. Their long tenure in the Andalusian scene has produced a body of work that balances intellectual weight with physical groove.
