Sacramento's Deadlands fuse the melodic ambition of power metal with the punishing propulsion of thrash, a combination that's been a California specialty since the mid-80s. Since 2012, they've kept that twin-engine approach locked and loaded.
Deadly Magic is a progressive heavy/power metal band from Remscheid, Germany, formed in 2024. They weave progressive complexity through powerful heavy and power metal foundations.
Deadly Sins is a melodic death/power metal band from Svendborg, Denmark, formed in 2022. They blend melodic death metal's intensity with power metal's soaring energy.
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.
Deadwitch plays power/thrash metal from Lisbon, active since 2015 and conjuring the spirit of executed sorceresses through high-energy compositions. Their necromantic name blends occult imagery with a dual-genre approach that pairs power metal's melody with thrash's velocity.
Deafening Silence is a power metal band from Metz, France, formed in 2022. They deliver paradoxically loud power metal from Lorraine.
Billings, Montana's Death Chariot are one of the more unlikely outposts of American power metal, delivering soaring vocals and galloping riffs from the high plains since 2005. Their two-decade run makes them veterans of a regional scene where traditional heavy metal rarely finds an audience.
Encinitas, California's Death Dealer bring a power metal approach honed since 2023, drawing on the melodic grandeur and technical precision that define the West Coast's take on the genre. Their coastal origins inform a sound that's polished without sacrificing edge.
Springfield, Missouri's Death May Die carry the torch of classic power metal with soaring vocals and anthemic songwriting that refuse any trace of irony. Since 2017, they've been delivering bombastic, earnest heavy metal for the heartland.
