Damiano Biasutto is a solo instrumental metal guitarist and composer from San Giovanni al Natisone in Friuli, whose albums Powered by Steel, Dangerous Railway, and Minstrel of the Dark showcase his technical prowess across a range of heavy metal styles. His compositions emphasize melodic lead guitar work and steely riff construction without the need for vocals.
Damnatio is a heavy/thrash/alternative metal band from Baix Llobregat, Spain, formed in 2023. They blend thrash aggression with alternative metal's accessibility.
Damnation Gallery storms out of Genoa with a caustic blend of heavy and blackened thrash metal, marrying the galloping riffs of traditional heavy metal with the venom and velocity of black-thrash. Their sound sits at the crossroads of NWOBHM worship and first-wave black metal ferocity.
Los Angeles' Damnation Overthrowne emerged in 2026 at the raw, energetic overlap of thrash and traditional heavy metal, channeling the street-level urgency of the LA metal scene into a sound that honors its predecessors without merely imitating them.
Damned Nation plays heavy metal from Stockholm, formed in 2026 and carrying the torch for classic Swedish heavy metal in a scene dominated by extreme genres. Their nation-under-judgment name adds apocalyptic weight to traditional riff-driven compositions.
Dan Dark plays heavy metal from Gothenburg, formed in 2024 and delivering classic heavy metal from one of Scandinavia's most metal-saturated cities. His personal-name project brings individual artistic vision to the traditional metal format.
Dangar Six is a heavy metal band from Jablonec nad Nisou, Czech Republic, formed in 2013 and channeling the raw power of traditional heavy metal. Their sound builds on the genre's foundational riffs and driving rhythms with a Central European edge.
Danger Core is a heavy metal band from Prnjavor, Bosnia and Herzegovina whose 2013 EP Darkness Will Remain introduced them as a band influenced by Nevermore, Iron Maiden, Savatage, and Pantera. The five tracks on that debut lean on old-school heaviness, prog-leaning riff structures, and atheistic lyrical themes.
Danger Machine plays heavy metal from Evora, the ancient Alentejo capital, formed in 2022 and delivering riff-driven material from a city better known for its Roman ruins than its metal scene. Their industrial-hazard name adds urgency to classic heavy metal.
