Daevil is an Italian symphonic black/gothic metal project whose prolific output spans the Black Out series, Anthem to the Night under the alias "Daevil's Black Orchestra," and the 2025 album Wolfblood. The project's orchestral arrangements and darkly theatrical aesthetic create a densely layered sound that straddles the line between symphonic black metal grandeur and gothic melancholy.
Daff plays heavy metal from Stathelle on Norway's southern coast, formed in 2024 and delivering traditional metal from a small town better known for its maritime industry. Their brief, punchy name matches a direct approach to heavy metal that wastes nothing.
Dagalur plays black/death metal from Belgrade, active since 2020 and channeling the Serbian capital's dark energy into extreme metal. Their name's archaic resonance adds mythological weight to compositions rooted in extreme metal's most aggressive traditions.
Dagara is a melodic death/thrash metal and hardcore band from Paris, France, active since 2011. They deliver a powerful fusion of melodic death metal, thrash, and hardcore.
Dagas is a traditional heavy metal band from San Fernando, Buenos Aires, with roots stretching back to 1994. Drawing influence from Mercyful Fate, King Diamond, and Black Sabbath, the band gained early recognition by opening for Mercyful Fate in Argentina in 1999, and has continued operating as an independent act focused on dark, occult-themed heavy metal.
Dagdrøm is a black metal band from Würzburg, Germany, formed in 2022. They explore atmospheric darkness through the lens of German black metal tradition.
Dageraad is a two-piece blackened progressive sludge outfit from Leuven, Belgium, formed within the fertile tradition of Belgian post-metal that has produced internationally recognized acts on labels like Consouling Sounds. Their debut EP In Bloed, released in late 2024, marks the project's first formal recorded statement.
Haverhill, Massachusetts' Daggar operates in the heavy metal and hard rock space with a no-frills confidence that suits the blue-collar New England context. Since 2013, they've kept things direct and loud without overcomplicating the formula.
Dagger Division is a black, death, and doom metal band from Carinthia, Austria, working at the intersection of all three genres in a single cohesive sound. Their one documented track, "Basilisk," points to a project rooted in the rawer traditions of underground European extreme metal.
