One of Spokane's longest-running extreme metal acts, Decrepit have been plumbing the depths of raw black metal since 1993 — over three decades of stripped-down, unadorned darkness from the inland Pacific Northwest. A true underground survivor.
Deflorator plays raw black metal from Tver between Moscow and Saint Petersburg, active since 2015. Their provocatively violent name drives lo-fi, aggressive compositions that embrace black metal's most confrontational traditions.
Defluxit is a solo black metal project from Sofia, Bulgaria, created by Dobromir Angelov, who also plays in Certain Demise and Self Doomed. The project fuses atmospheric black metal with death and doom influences across short, densely layered compositions.
Billings, Montana's Deinóssaûros emerged in 2022 playing raw black metal in one of the most geographically isolated cities in the American West — a landscape of vast plains and harsh winters that feeds naturally into the genre's primitive, stripped-down aesthetic. Their raw black metal is abrasive and lo-fi by conviction, channeling the desolation of the high plains into pure sonic hostility.
Las Vegas, New Mexico's Demogorgon emerged in 2016 where the desert amplifies both isolation and extremity, channeling that severity into a blackened death metal assault that seethes with cold dissonance and blasting ferocity. The band occupies the corrosive overlap between black metal's atmospheric menace and death metal's physical brutality.
Demonochtets is a raw black metal and dungeon synth project from Dubăsari in Moldova's breakaway Transnistria region, pairing lo-fi black metal aggression with synth-driven medieval atmospherics. Their dual-genre approach shifts between savage blasting and contemplative keyboard passages that evoke crumbling castle corridors.
Demonomania is a raw black metal project from Viareggio, in the Lucca province of Tuscany, Italy, formed in 2010. The project channels lo-fi, uncompromising raw black metal fury from the Tuscan underground.
Dermenborg is a one-man black metal project from Sofia, Bulgaria, created by Necrokvlt in 2024. Already boasting several releases including 'Immortal Winter' and 'Mighty Blackened Forest of Samodivi Sathana,' the project draws on Bulgarian folklore and frostbitten Nordic-inspired black metal.
Desecration Rites is a raw black metal band from Zaragoza, Spain, formed in 2016. They perform unholy rituals through raw, uncompromising black metal from Aragón.
