Virginia's Dahmed tears through brutal death metal, deathcore, and hardcore without stopping to consider where one ends and the other begins — the result is chaotic, punishing, and deliberately overwhelming. Since 2017, they've built a reputation in the underground for unrelenting intensity.
Dahmer Disposal is a crust and noise-fueled grindcore trio from Montevecchio in southern Sardinia, featuring Jolly Roger on guitar and vocals, Plinio on drums, and Memetron on bass. Their releases, including the Crust In Piss 7-inch and a split with Virosis, deliver confrontational, abrasive blasts of noise-drenched extremity.

DAI is a black-death metal band from Trutnov, Czech Republic, formed in 2017 and trafficking in dark, extreme metal with dystopian thematic undertones. Their compositions channel the ferocity of both black and death metal traditions through a Czech underground lens.
Daidalos is a symphonic black metal project from Brunswick, Germany, founded in 2020 by Tobias Püschner. Their concept album "Dante," inspired by Dante's Inferno, showcases epic atmospheres drifting through frozen wastelands and collapsing empires with tragic grandeur.
Saint Paul's Daigoro tear through the intersection of death metal brutality and grindcore velocity with thrash-sharpened riffs that refuse to let up. Formed in 2017, they bring a frantic, no-frills aggression to the Twin Cities underground.
Daily Fight is a heavy metal band from Lima, Peru, formed in 2015 and operating in the New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal style. The independent act released their demo "Into the Fight" and the single "Passenger Love" in 2016, crafting straightforward heavy metal that draws on classic influences while addressing everyday struggles and metaphorical themes.
Daily Insanity is a heavy/thrash metal band from Berlin, Germany, formed in 2021. They deliver hard-hitting thrash with the weight of classic heavy metal.
