D Aphelium plays black metal from the island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea, active since 2016 and channeling the remote, windswept character of Sweden's largest island into atmospheric compositions.

D Bloc

Detroit, MI, US · 2021–present · active
D Bloc are a Detroit heavy hardcore band whose music is built for beatdown impact: groove-driven riffs, blunt vocals, and breakdowns that leave little room for ambiguity. Their 2021 EP Destroy Intimidate Eliminate established the band's identity as unapologetically heavy Detroit hardcore, with songs like "The Fixer" and "D.I.E." leaning into hard mosh parts and street-level aggression. The 2022 Do Not Cross EP pushed that reputation further, pairing thick guitar work with a visual and rhythmic attitude that nodded toward both hardcore violence and classic hip-hop bravado. Later releases, splits, and singles such as "Pile of Bullets" and "Wrong Path" continued the same direct approach: short tracks, heavy pacing, and an emphasis on lessons learned through pressure rather than abstraction. D Bloc's sound fits into Detroit's long history of uncompromising hardcore, where toughness is not just image but part of the regional musical language. Their songs are designed less for passive listening than for rooms where the first riff changes the temperature.
