Dogmat is a death and thrash metal band from Warsaw, Poland, formed in 2012. The project fuses death metal's heaviness with thrash metal's velocity from the Polish capital.
Dogmatic is a melodic death metal and thrash metal band from Sosnowiec, Poland, formed in 2023. The project channels aggressive melodeath and thrash from Upper Silesia.
Dogs of Gomorrah plays melodic death/thrash metal from Bremen, active since 2017 and channeling biblical destruction through aggressive, hook-laden compositions. Their name's reference to the doomed city adds apocalyptic weight to their riff-driven assault.
Dogsflesh is a thrash, heavy metal, and crossover band from Teesside, originally formed in 1982 by Rob Moore as one of the pioneers of English hardcore punk. Their fourth studio album March of the Damned (2025) continues the band's four-decade evolution from hardcore punk roots into heavy thrash and crossover territory, recorded at Prism Studios in Stoke-on-Trent.
Dogtak is a groove/thrash metal band from Heidekreis, Germany, formed in 2025. They deliver aggressive groove-laden thrash from the Lüneburg Heath.
Domestic Violence plays thrash/death metal from Gilze in North Brabant, active since 2011 and channeling their provocative name's real-world horror into extreme sonic aggression. Their uncomfortably direct name gives their thrash/death hybrid an unsettling social dimension.
Minneapolis's Domidium came together in 2023 weaving melodic death metal's Scandinavian sweep with the gut-punch immediacy of thrash and groove metal, making for a sound that refuses to settle into any single lane. The Twin Cities have a long history of nurturing technical, eclectic metal acts, and Domidium carry that forward with a multi-dimensional approach spanning four subgenres. They are one of the more compositionally ambitious young acts to emerge from the region's current scene.
Out of Venice, Florida, Dominant Force blur the lines between crossover thrash, hardcore punk, and straight-up metal with the chaotic energy the genre demands. Formed in 2018, they carry the pit-starting ethos of classic NYHC crossover acts filtered through Florida's sweat-drenched, no-nonsense underground. Their approach is fast, physical, and uninterested in subtlety — a machine built exclusively for live punishment.
Domination Inc. is a thrash metal band from Athens, Greece, formed in 2012, self-described as creating "unity within music and destruction within the oppressors' mind." Their discography includes Realm of Crisis, The Sacred Matrix, Infants of Thrash, and Memoir 414, positioning themselves as a movement-oriented thrash collective.
