Down on Me is a groove/thrash metal band from Kehl, Germany, active since 2012. They combine heavy grooves with thrash aggression from the Franco-German border region.
Down Syndrome started as a death/thrash metal act in the remote Komi city of Pechora before evolving toward symphonic death/black metal. Their controversial name and dramatic stylistic evolution from straightforward aggression to orchestral extremity mark one of the more unusual arcs in Russian extreme metal.
Downfade is a groove/stoner metal band with thrash influences from the Kiiminki/Oulu area of Finland, formed in 2019. They fade down through heavy grooves and stoner riffs.
Downslot is a thrash metal band from Sofia, Bulgaria, founded in 2008 by Ivan Delibaltov and Vasil Andonov, later joined by Ilian Shiklov and drummer Stoyan Iliev. Their 2012 debut 'God Is War' delivers seven tracks of aggressive, riff-driven underground metal.
Doze is a thrash/black metal and crossover band from Cugand, France, active since 2012. They deliver a volatile mix of thrash, black metal, and crossover.
Lansing, Michigan's Dozic have been grinding out a gritty blend of stoner and thrash metal since 2012, combining the lumbering heaviness of the Midwest with the riff-forward momentum of classic Bay Area thrash. Their sound has the loose, high-energy feel of a band that built itself in dive bars, where fuzz-coated grooves and shredded tempos share equal billing.
Dr Barmental plays thrash metal and punk from Saint Petersburg, active since 2012 and named after a character from Bulgakov's Heart of a Dog. Their literary reference channels Russian absurdist fiction into aggressive, punk-tinged thrash.
Out of Russellville, Arkansas, Dr. Butcher has been dealing in a particularly nasty strain of goregrind and death metal since 2011, built on surgical-grade brutality and an almost comedically grim aesthetic. The band's dedication to the uglier end of the death-grind spectrum keeps things deliberately primitive and visceral, with no interest in polish or subtlety.
Dr. Faust started as a speed/thrash metal act in the Black Sea resort of Sochi before evolving into death metal and grindcore. Active since 2016, their Faustian name — evoking the deal-with-the-devil legend — frames their genre transformation as a kind of bargain with extremity.
