Washington's Dagger Moon drags doom metal's funeral pace through crust punk's corroded, anarchic energy — the result is filthy, slow, and corrosive in equal measure. Since 2014 they've explored the intersection where outsider heaviness meets underground metal's dirtiest impulses.
Dagger of Betrayal is a five-piece melodic death metal and metalcore band from Thessaloniki, Greece, formed in 2013, featuring guitarists Aggelos Tzamtzis and Antonis Kakaris, drummer Konstantinos Noulas, bassist Konstantinos Grousouzakos, and vocalist Antonis Dimitriou. Their debut album Paradox Hive (2013) was mixed and mastered by Stelios Koslidis.
Daggerheart is a thrash/death metal band from Nossendorf in the Mecklenburgische Seenplatte region of Germany, formed in 2023. They deliver aggressive, hard-hitting metal that fuses thrash precision with death metal brutality.
Daggerose is a heavy and thrash metal band from Bratislava, Slovakia, formed in 2019. The project blends classic heavy metal with thrash aggression from the Slovak capital.
Unhinged Grindcore from Brownsville/Mission/Edinburg.
Daggry is a psychedelic sludge metal band from Helsingør, Denmark, formed in 2017. They deliver hallucinatory sludge from the Danish coast that inspired Shakespeare's Hamlet.
Dagla is a stoner metal/rock band from A Coruña, Spain, active since 2014. They deliver fuzz-soaked stoner grooves from Galicia's Atlantic coast.
Formed in Marseille in 1997, Dagoba are France's most internationally visible groove and industrial metal export, building their reputation across nine studio albums on a foundation of down-tuned, Pantera-inflected riffing laced with electronic textures and cinematic atmosphere. Produced by Tue Madsen and later Jacob Hansen, albums like What Hell Is About (2006) and Face the Colossus (2008) opened doors to tours with Metallica, Machine Head, and In Flames, cementing their status as the standard-bearers for heavy modern metal in the French scene.
Hermetic black metal project featuring drummer Antinom, who went on to form Vasaeleth. Active 2003-2009 before disbanding.
