Los Angeles' D.O.G. blends the street-level bravado of heavy metal with thrash's snapping tempos, delivering something that sounds forged on the wrong side of the 405. Their 2020 formation puts them squarely in LA's resilient underground.
D.O.S.E. is a death/thrash metal act from Kassel in Hesse, formed in 2022 and delivering potent injections of extreme metal aggression. Their acronym-as-name suggests carefully measured doses of sonic violence — concentrated and lethal.
Mobile, Alabama's D.R.E.A.D. locks groove metal's thick, chugging momentum into thrash's angular attack, landing somewhere between Pantera and Exodus in attitude. There's a Southern-fried swagger underneath the heaviness that sets them apart.
Dirty Rotten Imbeciles. Houston crossover thrash legends who helped define the genre.
D.S.M plays thrash metal from Moscow, active since 2018 and delivering high-velocity riffing from Russia's capital. Their abbreviated name gets straight to the point, matching a no-nonsense approach to classic thrash.
D.S.T. is a Berlin-based band formed in 2018 whose sound evolved from punk roots into thrash metal territory. Their later material embraces aggressive thrash riffing and raw energy.
D.W.D. is a thrash metal/crossover band from Tampere, Finland, formed in 2019. They deliver energetic crossover thrash from Finland's third-largest city.
D1straught is a technical thrash metal band from Santiago, Chile, whose lyrical themes address social inequality, corruption, and political critique. The band released the album 'Money Equal Death' in January 2019, followed by the single 'Protesto' and the full-length 'Majestic Twelve' in 2021.
Seattle's DA 27 takes the aggression of metalcore and runs it through thrash metal's mechanical precision, arriving at something tightly wound and combative. They've been pushing that synthesis since 2015 against the Pacific Northwest's competitive heavy scene.
