Drawback is a death/thrash metal band from Mor, Hungary, formed in 2020. The band combine the brutality of death metal with thrash metal speed and precision.
Drawkcab is a heavy/thrash/groove metal band from Füssen, Germany, active since 2014. Their reversed name hints at a contrarian spirit matched by their hybrid metal sound.
Drawn In is a crossover thrash band from Birmingham, England, formed in 2013. The project merges thrash metal's velocity with punk energy from the West Midlands scene.
Out of Pittsburgh since 2005, Drazen forge their sound at the collision point of thrash and death metal, delivering the kind of aggressive, riff-forward music that made both genres dangerous in the first place. They carry the blue-collar intensity of their city into every track — straightforward in attack, unrelenting in execution. Two decades into their run they remain a reliable fixture of the Pittsburgh underground and a testament to the staying power of metal that doesn't overcomplicate its violence.
Dreadfire plays thrash/groove metal from Lisbon, active since 2012 and igniting compositions with the fearsome intensity their name promises. Their sound merges thrash's velocity with groove metal's rhythmic weight in a combustible Lisboan hybrid.
DreadFool is a thrash metal band from Milan, Italy, formed in 2020. The project channels fast and furious thrash metal from the Milanese scene.
Detroit thrash outfit Dreadful Beast arrived in 2022 with a sound rooted in the classic thrash aggression that the Motor City's industrial grit seems to naturally produce, playing fast and angry with a commitment to the genre's old-school values. Young in years but clearly indebted to the era when thrash was a genuine threat, they bring a stripped-down ferocity that cuts through modern-day overproduction. Detroit has always made music that sounds like hard work, and Dreadful Beast carry that tradition into the pit.
Dreadful Fate is a death and thrash metal band from Avesta, Sweden, formed in 2017. The project delivers devastating death/thrash from the Dalarna region.
Dreadmaw is a groove and thrash metal band from Bergen, Norway, formed in 2020. The project merges heavy groove riffing with thrash metal velocity from western Norway.
