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.
Detroit's Deathinitely fuse power metal's melodic reach with thrash metal's velocity, producing a high-energy hybrid that's been a fixture of the city's surprisingly diverse metal underground since 2001.
December XII plays power metal from Kursk, active since 2012 and delivering melodic, high-energy compositions from the Central Black Earth region. Their calendar-date name adds enigmatic significance to music built on soaring vocals and driving rhythms.
Decended is a power metal band from Joensuu, Finland, active since 2012. They play energetic power metal from eastern Finland.
Los Angeles heavy/power metal act Decision brings a classic, hard rock-adjacent sensibility to the Southern California scene — anthemic, guitar-forward, and drenched in the kind of melodic ambition the city's heritage demands. Formed in 2010, they've carved out a niche in the LA underground that has no shortage of competition but always room for a well-crafted heavy metal song.
