Dead Samurai plays death metal from Salamanca, active since 2021 and channeling the discipline and violence of feudal Japanese warrior culture into extreme metal. Their East-meets-West concept adds a unique thematic layer to straightforward, punishing death metal.
Jacksonville's Dead Scrolls haul doom and sludge metal out of the Florida heat, dragging the listener through thick walls of distortion and grinding tempos. Their sound feels like something excavated rather than written.
Dead Secret is a heavy and power metal band from Karlovasi on the island of Samos, Greece, formed in 2021. Their self-titled debut EP, produced by Bob Katsionis at Sound Symmetry Studio, features vocalist-guitarist Achilles Papakonstantinou, keyboardist John Matzakos, and a full six-piece lineup across four tracks of melodic power metal.

Dead Shell of Universe plays black metal from Pancevo near Belgrade, active since 2019 and channeling cosmic emptiness through atmospheric, tremolo-driven compositions. Their name evokes a universe drained of life — a hollow cosmic carcass that their music inhabits.
Out of central Illinois, Dead Shore play death metal with a regional underground ethos — blunt, unpolished, and committed to brutality over accessibility. Formed in 2014, they've carved out space in a scene that rewards staying power.
Missoula's Dead Sirius play heavy metal shaped by the isolation of Montana, where big open spaces breed a particular kind of focused, unpretentious approach to the genre. Formed in 2018, they make the kind of heavy rock-influenced metal the mountains seem to produce naturally.
Massachusetts' Dead Sisters move through sludge, drone, and doom in long, deliberate arcs, building weight through repetition and sheer sonic density. Their music rewards patience and punishes anyone seeking immediate gratification.
Dead Sky Morning is an atmospheric black metal project from Finland, formed in 2020. They paint bleak dawn skies through immersive atmospheric black metal.
