Las Vegas' Dead Element bring a melodic edge to their thrash and groove metal palette, crafting songs that hit with purpose behind the glitz and excess of the desert city's entertainment landscape. Sharp hooks live inside dense, riff-heavy arrangements.
Dead Ember is a melodic death metal band from the Detmold/Bielefeld area of Germany, formed in 2018. They craft emotive melodic death metal with strong hooks and heavy atmospheres.
Dead Emotions is a gothic/death metal band from the Freising/Munich area of Germany, formed in 2020. They blend death metal's aggression with gothic metal's dark elegance and melancholic moods.
Iowa City's Dead Emperors trade in warm, fuzz-drenched stoner metal that sounds tailor-made for long drives through the state's flat, open plains — unhurried, heavy, and built around the kind of riff that settles into your chest and stays there.
Rosendale, NY's Dead Empires weave progressive ambition into sludge's tar-thick foundations, building sprawling, tension-laden structures from the Hudson Valley's quiet edges. Formed in 2011, their music feels like watching something enormous collapse in slow motion.

Dead End Finland is a Helsinki-based melodic death metal act active since 2011, delivering polished, emotionally charged compositions that balance Finnish melancholy with aggressive riffing. Their geographically specific name roots them firmly in the Finnish tradition of melodeath excellence.
Dead End Future plays death/thrash metal from Brunswick in Lower Saxony, active since 2013 and channeling apocalyptic pessimism into compositions that merge both genres' most devastating qualities. Their name's nihilistic outlook perfectly frames music built on the assumption that civilization has nowhere left to go but down.
