Days ov Yore is a melodic black metal band from Finland, emerging in 2026. They channel ancient times through melodic black metal.
Dayseeker have established themselves as the emotional center of modern post-hardcore, crafting devastatingly personal songs from their base in Orange County, California since 2012. Vocalist Rory Rodriguez pours raw vulnerability into every performance, with albums like 'Sleeptalk' and 'Dark Sun' exploring grief, love, and mental health through lush, atmospheric arrangements. Their ability to balance crushing heaviness with moments of breathtaking beauty has earned them crossover appeal beyond the hardcore scene.
DayShineRising has been active since 2004 out of Bolzano in South Tyrol, playing melodic death metal with metalcore influences that blend Scandinavian-style melody with modern breakdowns and clean/harsh vocal interplay. Their longevity in the scene speaks to a steady evolution of their hybrid approach.
Daysidied is a black metal project from Parma, active since 2020 and channeling raw, uncompromising black metal from the heart of Emilia-Romagna. Their output strips the genre to its essentials: tremolo picking, blast beats, and an atmosphere drenched in nihilistic intensity.
Phoenix's Daytripper drag stoner and doom metal through the desert heat with a sun-baked, hazy approach that transforms the Arizona landscape into sonic texture. Since forming in 2022, they've leaned fully into the slow, sweltering side of the genre — music for long drives through the Sonoran expanse.
Dayum was a Viennese death metal and deathcore band active from 2016 to 2020, known for incorporating video game references into their music — albums Dark Souls (2017) and Ghost of Sparta (2019) drew directly from the FromSoftware and God of War franchises. The band dissolved in 2020, with members continuing under the name Spire of Lazarus.
San Francisco's Daywalker bring gothic metal's brooding romanticism to one of America's most atmospheric cities, building a sound steeped in dark drama and minor-key ache. Formed in 2019, they take full advantage of the Bay's fog and isolation, threading melancholy through every track.
Dayzolate is a death metal band from Glienicke/Nordbahn, Germany, active since 2014. They play aggressive death metal rooted in the genre's classic brutality.
Dazed is a progressive death metal band from Berlin, Germany, active since 2011. They push death metal into complex, progressive territory with ambitious compositions and technical precision.
