Washington state's Deadream inhabit the fog-drenched territory where atmospheric black metal bleeds into post-metal, crafting expansive, emotionally unmoored soundscapes since 2014. Immense in scale and bleak in tone, their music rewards patience.
Deafhex is a sludge/doom/post-metal band from Hamburg, Germany, formed in 2019. They create massive, slow-building walls of sound that merge sludge, doom, and post-metal into overwhelming heaviness.
Decabrist plays doom/post-metal from Moscow, active since 2018 and named after the Decembrist revolt of 1825 against the Russian autocracy. Their historical-revolutionary name frames their heavy, atmospheric compositions as acts of creative resistance.
Ithaca's Decrement draw from the rich upstate New York heavy music tradition, weaving post-metal's expansive textures together with sludge's grinding heaviness and doom's glacial pace. Since 2018, they've built songs that collapse under their own weight — beautifully.
Oakland's Deepenhorse fuse progressive death metal architecture with post-metal atmosphere, constructing dense, sprawling compositions that reward patience with unexpected brutality.
Defying is a black, post-metal, and progressive metal band from Olsztyn, Poland, formed in 2014. The project blends black metal's darkness with post-metal atmospheres and progressive complexity.
Demande à la Poussière is a blackened sludge/post-metal band from Paris, France, formed in 2018. Their name meaning 'ask the dust,' they create heavy, blackened soundscapes.
Demontain is a post-metal and sludge metal band from Vicenza, Italy, originally formed in 2007 under the name The Angriest Dog in the World. The four-piece blends metal, doom, and hardcore into a unique and confrontational sound, recorded at Lost In Space Studio.
Dendrophilia is a post-metal and sludge metal band from Portalbera, in the Pavia province of Lombardy, Italy, formed in 2014. Their album 'Soak Up the Sun' blends alternative noise, sludge, and stoner elements into an eclectic and crushing sonic brew.
