Oshkosh, Wisconsin's Dead Ringers move at the slow, hypnotic pace of doom and stoner metal, letting fuzz and repetition do the heavy lifting. Their sound suits a frozen Wisconsin winter — patient, heavy, and deeply immersive.
Dallas' Dead Rising have been a fixture of the North Texas extreme underground since 2016, churning out death metal and grindcore that owes as much to blast-beat brutality as to the relentless D/FW scene that surrounds them. Fast, violent, and unapologetically extreme.
Atlanta's Dead Rites blend gothic atmosphere with the weight of doom, constructing a sound that is mournful without being theatrical and heavy without sacrificing melody. Two decades into the Atlanta metal scene, they remain one of its more distinctive voices.
Citrus Hills' Dead River play heavy metal with a traditional bent, rooted in the fundamentals — big riffs, driving rhythms, and a commitment to the basics the genre was built on. No gimmicks, just straightforward heavy metal delivered with conviction.
Dead Rooster is a Buenos Aires metal band formed in 2012, rooted in drone and doom metal before evolving toward a rawer blend of black metal and punk, drawing comparisons to Hellhammer, Celtic Frost, Venom, and Discharge. Their debut EP "Witches of Belial" was recorded in November 2011 at Music Factory Studio in Buenos Aires and released on cassette in 2012 through Coche Bomba Records, later appearing digitally via The Return Recs in 2013.
Dead Rot Chilly Grinders plays death metal and grindcore from Belgrade, active since 2019 and delivering the grotesque, decomposition-themed extremity their name describes. Their elaborate, descriptive name leaves nothing to the imagination about their sonic intentions.
Nashville's Dead Runes emerged in 2023 with a stoner metal approach that leans into fuzz and groove, offering a heavy counterweight to Music City's mainstream reputation. Still early in their run, the foundation sounds solid.
Chicago's Dead Sacraments traffic in pure doom metal, paced for maximum weight and atmosphere, with the kind of unhurried deliberateness the genre demands. Their 2019 formation placed them squarely in a city with a rich lineage of heavy and slow music.
Dead Samaritan is a death/thrash metal band from Tampere, Finland, active since 2014. They play fierce death/thrash from Finland's third-largest city.
