Out of Bismarck, North Dakota, Deathbed Dichotomy navigate the tension between blackened aggression and progressive metal's structural ambition — a pairing that feels especially stark given the band's remote northern plains origin. They've been at it since 2013.

Decimals is a progressive metal band from Barcelona, Spain, formed in 2018. They explore complex mathematical precision through progressive metal.
Decimated Humans push brutal and slam death metal into progressive territory — song structures that shift and fracture beneath pummeling rhythms and cavernous vocals. Formed in 2014, the North Carolina outfit occupies a singular niche at the intersection of surgical precision and bludgeoning force.

Green Bay progressive metalcore act Deciphering the Zodiac builds songs from the ground up with an ear for both atmosphere and complexity, pushing beyond the genre's conventional boundaries. Since 2017 they've been among Wisconsin's more thoughtful heavy acts, favoring intricate composition over blunt force.
Huntington progressive/stoner metal act Deckard drifts through heavy psychedelia with a slow, deliberate weight that reflects West Virginia's Appalachian surroundings. Since 2012, they've built a reputation on riff-first songwriting that rewards patience as much as volume.
