Damask plays a volatile mix of speed, heavy, and black metal from Volgodonsk in Rostov Oblast, active since 2019. Their city — built to house workers for a nuclear power plant — lends industrial-age intensity to their triple-genre attack.
Damnation City is a speed/thrash metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, signed to Kill Again Records. Drawing influence from the old German thrash school as well as bands like Slayer, Dark Angel, and Razor, the band released the album "Dead and Buried" in 2022, a six-track record covering themes of death, anti-religion, and horror.
Dark Deception out of Hampstead deal in the velocity-heavy overlap of thrash, speed, and power metal — songs that push hard on the accelerator and rarely let up. Formed in 2018, they favor aggression calibrated with the precision of classic power metal.
Dark Light is a speed/thrash/power metal band from Wolfhagen, Germany, formed in 2016. They channel the triple threat of speed, thrash, and power metal into an energetic, riff-driven assault.
Dark Tyrants plays speed metal from Ornskoldsvik on the High Coast of northern Sweden, active since 2016. Their authoritarian name drives high-velocity compositions that rule through sheer speed and riff-driven dominance.
Portland's DarkBlack combines power metal's epic ambitions with speed metal's raw drive, a project that has been pushing high-octane riff craft since 2009 with the kind of old-school conviction that never quite fell out of fashion.
Darksky is a Milanese outfit fusing speed metal velocity with progressive metal's structural complexity, creating compositions that race forward at breakneck pace while navigating unexpected time changes and harmonic detours. Their dual-genre approach yields material that satisfies both the need for adrenaline and intellectual engagement.
Hailing from Roy, Utah, Davidian tear through the thrash and speed metal playbook with relentless aggression and tightly wound riffs. Formed in 2017, they keep the raw, unpolished energy of classic speed metal alive in an era that rarely demands it.
Daydream is a melodic power/speed metal band from Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, formed in 2018. They deliver soaring melodies and high-speed precision in the European power metal tradition.
