Citrus Hills' Dead River play heavy metal with a traditional bent, rooted in the fundamentals — big riffs, driving rhythms, and a commitment to the basics the genre was built on. No gimmicks, just straightforward heavy metal delivered with conviction.
Dead Secret is a heavy and power metal band from Karlovasi on the island of Samos, Greece, formed in 2021. Their self-titled debut EP, produced by Bob Katsionis at Sound Symmetry Studio, features vocalist-guitarist Achilles Papakonstantinou, keyboardist John Matzakos, and a full six-piece lineup across four tracks of melodic power metal.
Missoula's Dead Sirius play heavy metal shaped by the isolation of Montana, where big open spaces breed a particular kind of focused, unpretentious approach to the genre. Formed in 2018, they make the kind of heavy rock-influenced metal the mountains seem to produce naturally.
Denver's Dead Temple pair traditional heavy metal with the ponderous weight of doom, constructing riff-driven music that feels genuinely timeless. Since 2015 they've been one of Colorado's more reliable proponents of guitar-forward, no-frills heavy metal.
Deadbangers is a thrash/heavy metal band from Paris, France, formed in 2022. They deliver headbanging thrash and heavy metal.
Olympia, Washington's Deadbeat Blackout bring a hard rock swagger to heavy metal, roughing up the genre's cleaner edges with the DIY spirit their Pacific Northwest home is known for. Formed in 2018, they're a bar-band-at-its-best proposition for fans of hooks and muscle.
Deadfall was a thrash and heavy metal band from Londrina, Paraná, Brazil, formed in 2011. The band played aggressive, Brazilian-style thrash metal before eventually splitting up. They are listed on the Encyclopaedia Metallum, representing Londrina's underground metal scene.
Cleveland's Deadiron draw from the city's blue-collar grit, forging heavy and power metal with workmanlike conviction since 2012. Their 216 area code Bandcamp handle is a point of pride for a city that takes its metal seriously.
