Tulsa's Deadly Weapon fuse heavy metal's melodic power with power metal's grandiose ambition, a combination that feels right at home in Oklahoma's long tradition of hard-rock swagger since 2017. Big riffs, bigger hooks.
Deadlyforce plays heavy metal from the Seixal/Corroios/Almada area south of Lisbon, formed in 2023 and channeling brute-force energy into riff-driven compositions. Their name promises maximum impact, delivered through the uncompromising power of traditional heavy metal.
Philadelphia's Deadlyne cover a wide span of heavy music — from crossover thrash to groove to hard rock — reflecting a restless band formed in 2023 that refuses to settle into one lane. The city's blue-collar grit runs through all of it.
Chicago's Deadmanswake have been hauling heavy metal's classic bones through the Midwest since 2010, favoring thick riffs and no-frills aggression over trend-chasing. Their sound sits squarely in the tradition of blue-collar heavy metal, built for the stage and the pit.
Deadpriest is a heavy metal band from Zwenkau, Germany, active since 2013. They play classic heavy metal with an underground edge and no-nonsense approach.
Syracuse's Deadrider smash heavy, speed, and thrash metal together with the reckless confidence of a band that grew up on Iron Maiden and Destruction in equal measure. Since 2014, they've been one of upstate New York's harder-hitting underground exports.
Deaf Spoint is a heavy and thrash metal band from Warsaw, Poland, formed in 2019. The project blends classic heavy metal with thrash metal aggression.
Deafening is a heavy metal band from the Koedijk/Alkmaar area of North Holland, formed in 2023 and delivering the genre's trademark power and volume from the low-lying Dutch coastline. Their name is both a promise and a warning about the sheer sonic force of their performances.
Dealer is a NWOBHM/heavy metal band from Cirencester, England, active since 2012. They deal classic British heavy metal from the Cotswolds.
