Syracuse's Deadrider smash heavy, speed, and thrash metal together with the reckless confidence of a band that grew up on Iron Maiden and Destruction in equal measure. Since 2014, they've been one of upstate New York's harder-hitting underground exports.
Flint, Michigan's Deadringer fuse death and thrash metal with the kind of grinding blue-collar intensity that mirrors their city's reputation for toughness. Active since 2008, they draw equally from old-school brutality and speed-forward aggression.
Oakland's Deadringer carry on the Bay Area thrash tradition with a streetwise bite rooted in the region's storied scene. Since 2008, they've channeled the aggressive spirit of their city into tightly wound, punishing thrash.
Deadrise plays metalcore from Belgrade, active since 2011 and channeling resurrection themes through heavy breakdowns and aggressive vocal delivery. Their name's suggestion of rising from death adds dramatic weight to the Serbian metalcore underground.
Deadroads is a stoner metal/rock band from Berlin, Germany, formed in 2026. They channel desert rock grooves and heavy, fuzz-laden stoner riffs.
Deadroots is a groove-thrash metal band from Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic, formed in 2022 and delivering heavy, riff-driven compositions with a punishing rhythmic attack. Their sound fuses groove metal's crushing weight with thrash metal's relentless speed.
Deadscape is a melodic death metal band from Sofia, Bulgaria, blending aggressive vocals and intricate guitar harmonies across releases like 'State Of Decline' and 'Of The Deepest Shade.' Their four-piece lineup features dual vocalists and a dynamic approach to the Gothenburg-influenced death metal template.
Columbus, Ohio's Deadsea have been plumbing the depths of melodic doom/death since 2003, building a sound as heavy and lightless as the body of water they named themselves after. Mournful leads and crushing low-end define their approach.
DeadShade plays melodic death/thrash metal from Maloyaroslavets in Kaluga Oblast, active since 2010 and delivering over a decade of aggressive, melody-infused compositions. Their shadow-of-death name channels the genre's core themes through both melodic and aggressive means.
