Hudson, New York's Dark Fate are something of a shape-shifter — their history spans death metal, grindcore, thrash, groove, and traditional heavy metal, a genre-wandering evolution that makes them genuinely hard to pin down. Two decades of mutation with a riff always at the center.
Dark Filth Fraternity is a stoner/heavy metal band from Lahti, Finland, active since 2006. With nearly two decades of brotherhood, they deliver filthy stoner and heavy metal.
Dark Forest is a heavy/power metal band from Dudley, England, active since 2011. They deliver epic, folk-tinged heavy/power metal from the Black Country.
Dark Hill is a heavy/power metal band from Madrid, active since 2016 and delivering the galloping rhythms and soaring vocals that define European power metal. Their summit-evoking name captures the genre's aspirational quality — music that climbs toward epic heights.
A traditional heavy metal outfit out of Clifton, New Jersey, Dark Horse have been grinding away since 2011 with a no-frills approach to the genre's blue-collar backbone.
Nashville's Dark Hound fuse the grit of traditional heavy metal with progressive ambitions, a pairing that feels right at home in a city known for pushing genre boundaries in unexpected directions.
Dark Intervals is a heavy/doom metal band from Oulu, Finland, active since 2011. They explore dark sonic intervals through heavy and doom metal from northern Finland.
A New York heavy/power metal act with roots going back to 2014, Dark Knight deal in the kind of muscular, hook-driven metal that nods to classic American power metal without apology.
Born in the Bronx in 2016, Dark Knights of the Soul fuse heavy and doom metal into something that carries the weight of New York City's streets — slow-burning, massive, and spiritually bleak.
