Dominators is a death and thrash metal band from Ljubljana, Slovenia, formed in 2021. The project fuses death metal with thrash from the Slovenian capital.
Dominicide is a thrash and death metal band from Glasgow, Scotland, formed in 2017. Their 2021 EP The Architecture of Oppression and tracks like The Orchestraitors and Once the Serpents Rise showcase their brand of politically charged thrash-death aggression.
Donum Dei is a heavy and thrash metal band from Belfast, Northern Ireland, formed in 2024. The band merge the weight of classic heavy metal with thrash aggression in the tradition of the Irish underground metal scene.
Denver's Doom Blade formed in 2019 at the collision of power metal's soaring melodicism and thrash's neck-snapping aggression, a combination that gives their music an operatic ferocity. Colorado's high-altitude metal scene has long punched above its weight, and Doom Blade's hybrid approach adds a distinct flair to that tradition. They sit in the lineage of bands who believed epic storytelling and bruising riffs were never mutually exclusive.
Doombringer is a death/thrash metal band from Germany, active since 2011. They bring devastation through a savage combination of death and thrash metal.
Doomscizor is a thrash/groove metal band from Paris, France, formed in 2021. They cut through with scissor-sharp thrash and groove from the French capital.
Forged in Chicago in 2021, Doomsday tears through the Midwest underground with a ferocious blend of speed and thrash metal that draws as much from early Slayer as from the first wave of power-speed crossovers. Their riffs hit with the urgency of a city that never coddles its heavy music, all breakneck tempos and serrated guitar work that leaves little room to breathe. It's lean, mean thrash built for the pit.
Doomsday is a speed/thrash metal band from Pilsen, Czech Republic, formed in 2021. They unleash fast, ripping thrash with the velocity and urgency of classic speed metal.
Doomsday Trip is a groove/thrash metal band from Budapest, Hungary, formed in 2023. Their releases Hellwalkers and Madhouse deliver riff-driven groove and thrash metal from the Hungarian capital.
