Formed in 2024 out of Union, New Jersey, DTA came out of the gate swinging with the kind of urgent, no-frills aggression that defined early speed metal before thrash hardened its edges. Their sound splits the difference between the breakneck tempos of classic NWOBHM-influenced speed metal and the crunchier, pit-ready riff structures of East Coast thrash. A young band with teeth already showing.
Dual-Coma is an industrial metal, metalcore, and thrash metal band from Katowice, Poland, formed in 2013. The project blends industrial intensity with metalcore and thrash from the Upper Silesian scene.
Duhomor is a brutal death metal project from Burgas, Bulgaria, rooted in old-school death metal ferocity. Their 2021 debut 'Mrakoblesie (Obscurantism)' delivers ten tracks of punishing, unrelenting brutality across fifty minutes.
Duke Nukem plays blackened thrash, heavy metal, and punk from Saint Petersburg, active since 2014 and named after the iconic video game character. Their pop-culture reference drives irreverent, high-energy compositions that blend multiple aggressive genres with tongue-in-cheek attitude.

The seven-track album is described as a pseudo-conceptual work exploring personal experiences, blending old-school thrash sensibilities with heavy metal groove.
