A collision of death metal brutality, metalcore aggression, and grindcore speed, Debtors emerged from the Chicago/LA underground in 2020 with no patience for genre boundaries. Their sound hits like a freight train that changes tracks mid-collision.
Debunker plays thrash/groove metal from Porto, active since 2015 and dismantling conventions through aggressive, rhythmically charged compositions. Their truth-seeking name channels investigative energy into music that exposes and destroys.
Decaarta is a groove metal band from Chichester, England, active since 2012. They deliver heavy grooves from the West Sussex cathedral city.
Decabrist plays doom/post-metal from Moscow, active since 2018 and named after the Decembrist revolt of 1825 against the Russian autocracy. Their historical-revolutionary name frames their heavy, atmospheric compositions as acts of creative resistance.
Out of the Appalachian foothills of Elizabethton, Tennessee, Decade of Deceit has been honing melodic death metal with a Southern tenacity since 2015. Their riffwork channels European melodeath fury filtered through distinctly American grit.
Decadence Dust plays gothic metal and rock from Veliky Novgorod, one of Russia's oldest cities, active since 2016. Their decay-themed name channels the fading grandeur of their ancient hometown into darkly romantic compositions.
Decadence Incarnate is a melodic death metal and thrash metal band from Gotland, Sweden, formed in 2019. The project channels aggressive melodeath and thrash from the Baltic island.
From Akron's underground since 2012, Decadence Profound deals in raw, unadorned black metal with the grimness of the Rust Belt as its backdrop. Their work strips the genre to its essentials — misanthropy, atmosphere, and cold, relentless hostility.
Rockford, Illinois has its own answer to the thrash revival in Decadenza, a band grinding away since 2010 with crusty, street-level aggression. The name may be Italian for decay, but their sound is pure Midwestern punishment.
