Kansas City's Dead on Collision smash death metal, grindcore, and hardcore into a single explosive wreck, built for speed and maximum damage. Formed in 2023, they operate with the urgency of a band with nothing to prove and everything to destroy.
Dead on Mars is a progressive/symphonic death metal band from Berlin, Germany, formed in 2018. They combine the technical ambition of progressive metal with symphonic grandeur and death metal's ferocity.
Baltimore's Dead Peasants deal in raw, unpolished black metal with a working-class fury that mirrors the city's gritty industrial identity. Their sound is stripped-down and vicious, with no interest in atmosphere for its own sake.
Dead Pleasure is a black metal band from Labin, Croatia, active since 2010. The band channel raw black metal intensity from the Croatian underground.
Dead Poet Society emerged from Boston in 2018, channeling raw garage-rock energy through a genre-blending approach that touches on grunge, punk, alternative, and even hip-hop. Frontman Jack Underkofler's charismatic vocal delivery and the band's willingness to swing wildly between styles give their music an unpredictable edge. Their debut '-!-' earned critical praise for its refusal to settle into any single lane, making them one of the most exciting new rock acts to emerge in recent years.
Dead Poets Society is a power and progressive metal band from Bratislava, Slovakia, formed in 2011. The project delivers ambitious metal from the Slovak capital.
Indianapolis' Dead Princess Black Unicorn splice industrial machinery into the bones of black and stoner metal, arriving at something genuinely strange and hard to categorize. The juxtaposition of heaviness and mechanical noise gives them a personality few acts can match.
Dead Puzzle is a death metal and deathcore band from Zhytomyr, Ukraine, formed in 2016. The project delivers punishing extreme metal from central Ukraine.
Troy, New York's Dead Rabbits carry the Southern sludge and stoner metal tradition deep into the Northeast, delivering heavy, swamp-soaked grooves far from their genre's geographic home. Lumbering riffs and fuzz-thick tones anchor everything they do.
