Dead and Forgotten is a one-man black metal project from Alessandria in northern Italy, formed in 2025. Inspired by Darkthrone and Burzum, the project channels raw second-wave black metal through demos and albums steeped in torment and bleak isolation.
Denver's Dead and Vacuus conjure bleak, suffocating black metal that feels as expansive and cold as the Rocky Mountain winters surrounding the city. Their music is sparse where it needs to breathe and crushing where it doesn't.
Dead Astray plays melodic death metal from the northern German port city of Kiel, active since 2012 and channeling the Baltic Sea's cold winds into compositions that pair aggressive riffing with soaring, emotionally resonant melodies. Their name evokes a state of being lost and lifeless — a mood their music powerfully inhabits.
Dead Awaken is a death metal band from Vasteras, Sweden, formed in 2013. The project delivers aggressive death metal from central Sweden.
New York's Dead Baby deal in stripped-down, confrontational death metal with no interest in genre refinement or commercial appeal — just raw, skull-rattling brutality that the state's extreme metal underground has always nurtured.
Dead Bastards plays thrash/groove metal with crossover elements from Saint Petersburg, formed in 2022. Their defiantly crude name drives high-energy compositions that merge thrash velocity with groove metal's punch and punk's attitude.
Newport, Rhode Island's Dead Beat bring a seaside grit to Bay Area-style thrash, delivering caffeine-fueled riff attacks that feel right at home in New England's small but fierce extreme music circuit. Fast, loud, and unapologetically analog.
Dead Beauty is a death metal and grindcore band from Vilnius, Lithuania, formed in 2019. The project delivers savage grinding death metal from the Lithuanian capital.
