Death Colony is a black metal project shrouded in deliberate anonymity, operating without a listed location and letting the music speak in shrieks and tremolo alone. Formed in 2021, the project pursues a raw, stripped-down approach to black metal orthodoxy.
Death Comes in Waves started as a melodic death/thrash metal band in Recklinghausen before evolving toward melodic black/death metal, tracing a darkening arc through their catalog. Their oceanic name captures the rhythmic, cyclical nature of their music — aggression that ebbs and surges like tidal forces.
Death Comes Pale is a death metal band from Aarhus, Denmark, active since 2011. They deliver pale, cold death metal from Denmark's second city.
Death Conspiracy is a technical death metal band from the greater São Paulo area of Brazil, formed in 2020, citing influences such as Death, Necrophagist, Decapitated, and Spawn of Possession. Their debut EP "Intolerance," released in December 2020, received recognition from Brazilian metal press for its complex, brutal arrangements and lyrics addressing conspiratorial and socio-political themes.
Death Consumes Us is a gothic metal band from Leeds, England, formed in 2021. They explore mortality through gothic metal from West Yorkshire.
Death Control is a death/thrash metal and metalcore band from Lille, France, formed in 2015. They blend extreme metal aggression with metalcore from northern France.
New York's Death Corps have been channeling the aggression of classic East Coast thrash since 2019, delivering tight riff work and aggressive vocal delivery in the tradition of the tri-state underground. Their name carries the no-frills militancy their music backs up.
Death Courier is one of the earliest bands from the Greek metal scene, with roots stretching back to 1987 and demos released in the late 1980s. Their 2020 comeback album Necrotic Verses, released through Transcending Obscurity Records with the lineup of Billy Soulas, George Petousis, and Ilias Iliopoulos, was hailed by critics as an album-of-the-year contender for its pulsating, rabid death/thrash metal.
Connecticut death metal act Death Creation emerged from Mansfield in 2022, bringing the genre's relentless brutality to a state better known for prog and metalcore than straight-ahead death. Their sound is rooted in riff-forward, mid-tempo devastation.
