Deadwitch plays power/thrash metal from Lisbon, active since 2015 and conjuring the spirit of executed sorceresses through high-energy compositions. Their necromantic name blends occult imagery with a dual-genre approach that pairs power metal's melody with thrash's velocity.
Deadwood is a post-black metal band from Frankfurt, Germany, formed in 2016. They blend the raw intensity of black metal with post-metal's expansive atmospheres and emotional depth.
Deadwood Lake is a melodic/atmospheric black metal band from Southwest England, formed in 2016. They create immersive atmospheric black metal from the English countryside.
Elizabeth, New Jersey's Deadworld blend blackened deathcore into a suffocating whole, treating melody as a rumor and atmosphere as a weapon since 2015. Their music sounds as grim and industrially corroded as their city's waterfront skyline.
Deadwound is a blackened sludge metal/hardcore band from Kingston upon Thames, England, formed in 2017. They deliver blackened sludge with hardcore intensity from greater London.
Deadwry is a death metal band from Siebnen, Switzerland, delivering aggressive, straightforward brutality since 2016. Their EP 'Butchers World' packs six tracks of unapologetic death metal with titles like 'Burning Flesh & Boiling Blood' that match the music's visceral intensity.
DeadXhead plays thrash/progressive metal from Glazov in the Udmurt Republic, active since 2014 and merging thrash's velocity with progressive metal's structural ambition. Their music channels the remoteness of the Ural region into compositions that refuse to follow predictable paths.
Philadelphia's Deadyellow work in post-black metal's liminal zone between aggression and atmosphere, filtering the genre through Philly's historically DIY ethos since 2021. Harrowing and emotionally raw, their sound hits like grief.
Brooklyn's Deadzone collide doom, groove metal, and hardcore into something that sounds both crushed by urban weight and ready to erupt — fitting for a New York City band formed in 2016 with no patience for clean resolutions. Heavy, unpolished, and confrontational.
