Deathswarm is a death metal band from Sweden, formed in 2019. The project delivers classic Swedish death metal.
Palmdale's Deathsworn has fused black metal with the raw, street-level energy of punk since 2018, arriving with a desert-scorched ferocity that's distinctly Californian. Primitive production, unrelenting attitude.
Deathtale is a death and thrash metal band from Vienna whose career spans from their 2012 album Apocalyptic Deadline through to the 2023 single "The Origin of Hate." The band's 2018 EP Bloodgod is their most-listened release, anchoring a sound built on mid-paced, groove-inflected death metal with thrash tempos and aggressive, hook-forward riffing.
Deathterror is a heavy metal band from Cologne, Germany, formed in 2021. They play hard-hitting heavy metal with a raw, underground edge.
Deathtiny is a gothic metal band from Sulz in Baden-Württemberg, active since 2009 and weaving dark, melancholic atmospheres around heavy guitar work. Their portmanteau name — death plus destiny — frames mortality as an inescapable fate, a theme that pervades their somber compositions.
Deathtomusic plays sludge metal from the Limburg province of the Netherlands, active since 2016 and channeling their paradoxical name — destroying music with music — into thick, distorted compositions. Their sludge-metal approach suggests an intentional dismantling of conventional musicality through crushing weight.
Deathtox is a death metal band from Löhne, Germany, formed in 2022. They deliver toxic, punishing death metal with venomous intensity.
Deathtrip is a death/thrash metal and metalcore band from Bremen, Germany, active since 2014. They blend death/thrash aggression with the modern dynamics of metalcore.
