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.
Dead Marshland is a black metal band from Asselfingen, Germany, formed in 2022. They channel the desolation of their namesake through cold, atmospheric black metal.
Kenosha, Wisconsin's Dead Meat play crossover thrash with the blue-collar conviction of a rust belt act that learned its trade in cramped bars and parking lot shows since 2020. Fast, mean, and built on the bones of classic hardcore and thrash.
Columbia, Missouri's Dead Medusa have been turning death/thrash into something petrifying since 2017, operating out of the Midwest's college-town underground with a sound that bites hard from every angle. The serpentine riffs live up to the mythology.
Dead Memories is a death metal band from Visbek, Germany, formed in 2021. They deliver intense death metal that channels darkness and aggression in equal measure.
