Lord Devastador is an Ecuadorian black/death metal solo project with roots stretching back to Quito in 1996, when it was active as a band before disbanding in 2000 and relaunching as a one-man outfit. The project's 2014 release "Infernal Holocaust" compiled two unreleased demos from 1998 and 2000 with remastered sound, showcasing a raw, Deathrashing Metal style sung entirely in Spanish.
Texas thrash/death metal. Underrated and vicious, part of the late-80s Texas thrash explosion.
Chicago's Devastation emerged in the late 1980s at the harder edges of the death/thrash continuum, combining the brutality beginning to emerge from the death metal underground with the technical aggression thrash was refining at the same moment. Their early Chicago recordings place them in a lineage of Midwestern extremity that continues to influence the city's scene.
Devastation A.D. is an old-school thrash and speed metal band originally from Pula, Croatia, formed in 1987 and active through various incarnations including a period as Hatross from 1990 to 1997. Their catalog spans from the 1987 demo The Upcoming Mayhem through The Possibility of Life's Destruction (1989) to their 2019 reunion material, documenting over three decades of Croatian thrash history.
Snohomish, Washington's Devastation Wagon have been rolling through the Pacific Northwest thrash underground since 2011, delivering fast-picking riff attacks with the workmanlike consistency of a band that plays because they mean it. The name suggests forward momentum above all else, and their music backs that up.
Devaster is a thrash metal band from Venice and Padua, Italy, formed in 2021. The project channels raw thrash metal aggression from the Veneto underground.
Devestator is a thrash metal act from the Altotting/Eisenfelden area in Upper Bavaria, active since 2018 and channeling the aggression of blackened thrash through a classic Teutonic template. Their misspelled name — a deliberate corruption of "devastator" — signals a raw, unpolished approach.
Deviant Cult is a melodic death and thrash metal band from Olbia, in the Sassari province of Sardinia, Italy, formed in 2017. The project blends death metal ferocity with melodic precision and thrash velocity from the Sardinian underground.
Deviated Instinct is a crust punk/death/thrash metal band from Norwich, England, active since 2012. They are influential figures in the British crust punk and extreme metal crossover scene.
