Framingham, Massachusetts's Dead Languages have been speaking in the slow, crushing dialect of sludge and doom since 2012, pulling from New England's bleak winters and dense underground. Their music communicates something ancient and unspeakable.
Dead Leaves is a power and progressive metal band from Alessandria, Italy, formed in 2014. The project blends the melodic grandeur of power metal with the structural complexity of progressive metal.
Grants Pass, Oregon's Dead Leslie tear through speed and thrash metal with the stripped-down urgency of a small-town act with something to prove, formed in 2020 in the Rogue Valley's fringes. Fast tempos and sharp riffs are their native language.
Dead Limbs was a Brazilian atmospheric black metal and post-metal band formed in 2015 and later split up. Their debut release "Lighthouse," put out through Bichano Records, is a six-track EP recorded, produced, and mixed in a home studio, featuring themes that draw on Greek mythology and hermetism. The band's layered, introspective sound placed them within the DIY Brazilian underground extreme metal scene.
Stockholm's Dead Lord are unabashed revivalists of classic late-1970s heavy metal and hard rock, drawing on the twin-guitar swagger of Thin Lizzy and the lean riffery of early Iron Maiden to craft music that feels like a lovingly preserved artifact from a golden era rather than a pale imitation of one. Formed in 2012 and signed to Century Media, their albums Goodbye Repentance (2013), Heads Held High (2015), In Ignorance We Trust (2017), and Surrender (2020) established them as one of the most earnest and accomplished bands in Sweden's traditional heavy metal revival.
Dead Loss is a death metal band from Rheinberg, Germany, active since 2013. They play crushing death metal rooted in the genre's classic traditions of heaviness and aggression.
Dead Man Down is a melodic death metal band from Izmir, Turkey, formed in 2014. The project delivers emotionally charged melodic death metal from the Aegean coast.
Dead Man Square is a melodic death/groove metal band from Strasbourg, France, formed in 2015. They deliver heavy melodic grooves from the Alsatian capital.
Dead Man's Path is a melodic death metal and metalcore band from Dalarna, Sweden, formed in 2020. The project blends melodic death metal with metalcore intensity.
