Dead Summer Society is a doom and gothic metal solo project by Emiliano Santoro from Campobasso, Italy, formed in 2015. The project explores subtle nostalgia and melancholy through post-black and doom metal atmospheres across albums like 'Decades' and 'Visions from a Thousand Lives.'
Dead Sun plays raw black metal and noise from Russia, active since 2017 and channeling the death of stellar light into lo-fi, abrasive compositions. Their cosmic-extinction name drives music that combines black metal's atmospheric darkness with noise's textural assault.
Chicago's Dead Sun Rising use sludge metal as a foundation and push outward into post-metal's more expansive and atmospheric territory, building songs that collapse under their own weight in the best possible way. Their 2019 formation put them in good company in a city with a strong tradition of heavy, cerebral music.
Phoenix's Dead Swarm started in groove metal's pocket and evolved toward death metal's brutality, reflecting the kind of gradual artistic hardening that comes with surviving the Arizona desert underground. Their trajectory since 2014 has been one of consistent escalation.
Dead Talks is a death metal band from Lohja, Finland, formed in 2021. They deliver crushing death metal from the Finnish lakeland.
Denver's Dead Temple pair traditional heavy metal with the ponderous weight of doom, constructing riff-driven music that feels genuinely timeless. Since 2015 they've been one of Colorado's more reliable proponents of guitar-forward, no-frills heavy metal.
Salem, Oregon's Dead Thrall make technical death metal that prioritizes precision without losing ferocity, building dense, interlocking riff structures that unfold with surgical intent. Formed in 2022, they bring a welcome complexity to the Pacific Northwest's extreme scene.
Pittsburg, California's Dead Thrust combine death metal and grindcore into short, focused bursts of pure aggression, coming up in 2020 out of the Bay Area's long history of extreme underground music. Compact and merciless.
Dead Titan is a stoner/doom metal band from Helsinki, Finland, formed in 2022. They channel titanic heaviness through stoner and doom metal.
