Deadtime Stories is a death, groove, and melodic death metal band from Kufstein in Tyrol, Austria, mixing metalcore vocal dynamics with melodic riffs and groove-driven breakdowns. The band operates out of the Tyrolean metal scene and distributes music through Bandcamp.
Dallas's Deadtooth throw crossover thrash, death metal, and grindcore into a blender and dare you to keep up — messy, fast, and completely uninterested in making it easy on the listener. Since 2009, they've been one of the DFW underground's most chaotically reliable exports.
Flagstaff, Arizona's Deadtouch drag sludge and doom together under the weight of high-altitude isolation, crafting music that crawls and corrodes in equal measure since 2018. The desert gives their heaviness a particular dryness and desolation.
Denver's DeadVessel navigate the intersection of stoner, groove, and progressive metal with the high-altitude confidence of a band comfortable pushing ideas in multiple directions at once. Formed in 2015, they blend head-nodding heaviness with genuine structural ambition.
Deadvoid Inc. is a melodic death metal band from Mikkeli, Finland, emerging in 2026. They bring fresh melodic death metal to the Finnish scene.

DeadWaterCreek plays progressive sludge metal from Moscow, active since 2017 and navigating the murky intersection of progressive complexity and sludge metal's crushing weight. Their stagnant-water name evokes the toxic, slow-moving heaviness that defines their sound.
Deadwind is a black-death metal band from Olomouc, Czech Republic, formed in 2021 and blending melodic death metal's harmonic sensibility with black metal's icy ferocity. Their approach bridges multiple extreme metal styles through atmospheric, layered compositions.
Deadwishes is a Brazilian atmospheric and depressive black metal project formed in 2018, operating within the country's active DSBM underground scene. The band explores themes of emotional despair and melancholy, and has contributed to Brazilian DSBM compilations including the "Coletânea de DSBM Nacional" series.
