Deluge Master was a heavy metal band from Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, formed around 2005. The band recorded their material at Ícone Estúdio and contributed tracks to Brazilian metal compilations including "Natal Metal Compilation 2" (2004) and "Rock Soldiers XII" (2007).
Baltimore's Delusion formed in 2021 at the heavier end of progressive metal, blending intricate songwriting with the city's well-established appetite for hard-hitting music. Drawing on Baltimore's reputation as a city that doesn't do things halfway, the band pursues progressive metal's complexity with the weight and intention of the genre's finest.
Gaithersburg, Maryland's Demassify have been stacking fuzz-laden riffs since 2020, navigating the thick overlap between stoner metal, doom, and classic heavy metal. Their sound calls to mind long desert highways and low-slung power chords — deliberate, heavy, and deeply rooted in the analog warmth of hard rock tradition.
Demency is a heavy metal band from France, formed in 2019. They deliver demented heavy metal with raw energy.
Sacramento's Dementia started out in the stoner and heavy metal tradition before pivoting toward nu-metal as their sound evolved over the years. Formed in 2013, they represent the California underground's tendency to absorb and recombine influences across metal's many stylistic eras.
East Hanover's Dementia occupy the traditional heavy metal space with a New Jersey directness that suits the genre's working-class roots. Formed in 2013, they draw on the region's dense club circuit heritage and deliver the kind of heads-down heavy metal that values songs over spectacle.
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.
Demesis is a heavy metal band from Kolobrzeg, Poland, formed in 2013. The project delivers classic heavy metal from the Baltic coast.
Cheyenne, Wyoming's Demise of Sanity make traditional heavy metal from one of the most sparsely populated states in the country, where the nearest major scene is hours away. Formed in 2011, they carry forward the genre's classic vocabulary with the self-reliant spirit that defines metal from the rural American West.
