Dead Sleep is a thrash metal band from Malmo, Sweden, formed in 2026. The project delivers aggressive thrash metal from southern Sweden.
Dead Slow Hand is a ritualistic black metal duo from the Slany/Kladno area of the Czech Republic, whose 2025 EP 'NU^L' is described as a four-part descent into spiritual destruction and purification. The project features contributions from the British occult scene and production by Harpak Karnig of the Ardawahisht Kollective.
Dead Slut plays deathcore from Smolensk, active since 2012 and delivering provocative extremity from the historically contested border city between Russia and Belarus. Their deliberately offensive name matches the uncompromising brutality of their sonic assault.
Dead Soil is a doom and industrial metal band from the Netherlands, formed in 2014. The project blends doom metal's crushing weight with industrial metal's mechanical intensity.
Montana's Dead Sorcery arrived in 2024 with sludge and stoner doom built for remote, mountainous terrain — riff-heavy, occult-tinged, and slow enough to let every note sink in. A promising new entry in the Pacific Northwest-adjacent heavy underground.
Eau Claire's Dead Soul Symphony combine the velocity of thrash with death metal's brutality, formed in 2021 with the kind of hunger that comes from building something in a smaller market with everything to prove. Wisconsin grit with a sharp, modern extreme edge.
Atlanta's Dead Speak put out death metal anchored in relentless aggression and old-school structural values, carving a niche in a city better known for metalcore and progressive sounds. Since 2018, they've been among the more straightforwardly brutal acts the Georgia capital has produced.
Dead State is a thrash metal band from Marau, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, formed in 2020. The band is independent and focuses on themes of politics, society, and the future in their lyrics. They are part of Brazil's active underground thrash metal scene in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul.
Houston's Dead Stuff wallow in sludge metal with the baked-in ugliness of the Gulf Coast petrochemical belt, thick with feedback and slow-burn hostility. Formed in 2022, they fit naturally into a city that has always had a deep well of heavy, unpretentious music.
