Dryrot is a band from Erlangen, Germany, with roots stretching back to 1989, whose sound evolved from thrash metal into groove/nu-metal/metalcore territory. As one of the oldest bands in this dataset, they have adapted through over three decades of stylistic evolution.
Drovich plays black/death/thrash metal from Dokkum in Friesland, formed in 2022 and attacking from three extreme metal directions simultaneously. Their multi-genre assault channels the fierce independence of Frisian culture into uncompromising sonic violence.
Drunkards is a Bergamese thrash metal band active since 2014, delivering high-velocity riffs fueled by the rowdy, party-thrash tradition of bands like Tankard and Municipal Waste. Their umlaut-adorned name nods to the Germanic thrash metal lineage they proudly carry forward.
Formed in 2024 out of Union, New Jersey, DTA came out of the gate swinging with the kind of urgent, no-frills aggression that defined early speed metal before thrash hardened its edges. Their sound splits the difference between the breakneck tempos of classic NWOBHM-influenced speed metal and the crunchier, pit-ready riff structures of East Coast thrash. A young band with teeth already showing.
Dual-Coma is an industrial metal, metalcore, and thrash metal band from Katowice, Poland, formed in 2013. The project blends industrial intensity with metalcore and thrash from the Upper Silesian scene.
Duhomor is a brutal death metal project from Burgas, Bulgaria, rooted in old-school death metal ferocity. Their 2021 debut 'Mrakoblesie (Obscurantism)' delivers ten tracks of punishing, unrelenting brutality across fifty minutes.
Duke Nukem plays blackened thrash, heavy metal, and punk from Saint Petersburg, active since 2014 and named after the iconic video game character. Their pop-culture reference drives irreverent, high-energy compositions that blend multiple aggressive genres with tongue-in-cheek attitude.
Dukha plays thrash metal from Stuttgart, active since 2017 and named after the Buddhist concept of suffering. Their music channels that existential dissatisfaction into aggressive, driving compositions that find catharsis in velocity and volume.
Dull is a band from Duisburg, Germany, whose sound evolved from technical death metal into groove/thrash metal. Their progression reflects a shift from technical complexity toward rhythmic heaviness.
