Dawn Fades

Los Angeles, CA, US · 2019–present · active
Los Angeles post-metal outfit Dawn Fades trade in vast sonic architecture — slow-building tension, cavernous dynamics, and the kind of patient heaviness that swallows a room whole. Formed in 2019, they bring a cinematic sensibility to a genre already known for its scope.

Dawn on Sedna

Viareggio, IT · 2016–present · active
Dawn on Sedna is a post-metal band from the Tuscan coastal town of Viareggio, named after the distant trans-Neptunian object and channeling similarly vast, cosmic atmospheres. Their sound unfolds in slow, cinematic arcs that build from quiet tension to crushing crescendos in the tradition of Isis and Neurosis.

Daxma

Oakland, CA, US · 2016–present · active
Oakland's Daxma deal in the slow, monolithic end of doom and post-metal — long songs, suffocating atmosphere, and a sound that values endurance over efficiency. Since 2016, they've quietly built a catalog that rewards the kind of deep listening their music demands.

Dead Is Dead

Milwaukee, WI, US · 2017–present · active
Milwaukee, Wisconsin's Dead Is Dead approach post-metal as architecture — building slow, ponderous structures that collapse under their own weight since 2017. The city's industrial heritage bleeds into every rumbling, drawn-out passage.

Dead Limbs

Rio de Janeiro, BR · 2015–? · disbanded
Dead Limbs was a Brazilian atmospheric black metal and post-metal band formed in 2015 and later split up. Their debut release "Lighthouse," put out through Bichano Records, is a six-track EP recorded, produced, and mixed in a home studio, featuring themes that draw on Greek mythology and hermetism. The band's layered, introspective sound placed them within the DIY Brazilian underground extreme metal scene.
Atmospheric BlackPost-Metal

Dead Sun Rising

Chicago, IL, US · 2019–present · active
Chicago's Dead Sun Rising use sludge metal as a foundation and push outward into post-metal's more expansive and atmospheric territory, building songs that collapse under their own weight in the best possible way. Their 2019 formation put them in good company in a city with a strong tradition of heavy, cerebral music.
