Dazet is a Buenos Aires black metal project formed in 2020, whose name is drawn from a character in the 19th-century French prose poem "Les Chants de Maldoror." The project released a self-titled EP and the Norwegian black metal tribute EP "Helvete: An Ode to Norwegian Black Metal" both in 2020, and contributed to a split with Lautréamont in 2021, with lyrical themes exploring philosophy, literature, and the human condition.
Daath Shadow is a black and death metal band from Groningen, Netherlands, formed in 2015. The project merges black metal's atmosphere with death metal's aggression from northern Netherlands.
DBC (Dead Brain Cells) is a Montreal, Canada thrash metal band formed in 1986 (initially as Final Chapter) by guitarists Eddie Shahini and Gerry Ouellette, who built their sound around technically driven, politically engaged thrash with an undercurrent of dark humor. Their self-titled debut (1987) was a crossover thrash statement, while the follow-up Universe (1989) marked a significant leap into progressive and science fiction-themed technical thrash. The band toured alongside Slayer, Death, Cannibal Corpse, and fellow Canadian thrash acts Voivod and Razor before dissolving in 1991. Their complete discography, including archival demos, was reissued by Divebomb Records, giving the catalog renewed attention from technical thrash enthusiasts.
Rooted in the classic heavy metal tradition of Los Angeles, DC4 channels the sun-bleached hard rock energy of the Sunset Strip into a modern context. Their sound balances melodic hooks with crunching riffs that owe as much to Dio-era metal as to contemporary heavy rock.
DCLXVI plays avant-garde black metal from Moscow, formed in 2022 and whose Roman-numeral name spells out 666 — the Number of the Beast. Their avant-garde approach pushes black metal's boundaries through unconventional compositions that refuse to follow established templates.
DCLXVI is a black/thrash metal band from Campina Grande, Paraíba, Brazil, formed in 2022. The name is the Roman numeral representation of 666, reflecting the band's Satanic and ritualistic lyrical themes. They are an independent, unsigned act operating within Brazil's underground extreme metal scene.
Denver's DDC bring a relentless thrash attack forged in the Mile High City's tight-knit underground scene. Expect breakneck tempos, serrated riffing, and a no-frills aggression rooted in the classic Bay Area tradition.
DDENT is a doom metal/post-rock band from Paris, France, active since 2014. They blend crushing doom with post-rock's atmospheric expansiveness.
Born out of California's extreme underground in 2026, Ddeviatedd slam together brutal death metal and grindcore into an exercise in controlled sonic chaos. Their sound is as much a physical assault as it is a musical statement.
