Missouri's Decapitated Saints pull from death, black, and thrash metal in equal measure, creating a chaotic and irreverent war metal spirit from the quiet suburb of Ballwin since 2010. Three genres worth of spite crammed into a single unruly package.
Yonkers' Decapitating Devastation emerged in 2014 as a straightforward proposition: brutal death metal with maximum density and zero compromise. New York's history of no-nonsense extremity courses through every pulverizing riff.
Decapitation of Nuns is a slam/brutal death metal band from Glasgow, Scotland, formed in 2020. Their provocative name matches their ultra-brutal slam death metal.
Decapited is a death metal band from Badalona, Spain, active since 2000. With over two decades of history, they are veteran death metal practitioners from the Barcelona metropolitan area.
Decapity is a death/thrash metal and grindcore band from Mid-Wales, formed in 2021. They deliver decapitating extremity from the Welsh hills.
Decaptacon is a melodic death metal band from Lünen, Germany, formed in 2017. They weave strong melodies through aggressive death metal frameworks.
Named for the demonological figure, Montoursville, Pennsylvania's Decarabia channels blackened thrash with occult menace since 2016. Their riffs carry the sharp, cold edge of central Pennsylvania winters alongside genuine esoteric hostility.
Madison, Wisconsin's Decarabia inhabits the slow-motion apocalypse of sludge, drone, and doom metal, building suffocating walls of low-end distortion since 2016. A different beast entirely from their name-sharing counterparts — heavier and far slower.
New Hampshire's Decarabia strips black metal down to its atmospheric and ambient essentials, a solitary project born in 2016 from the forests and silence of the northern New England landscape. Cold, spare, and steeped in isolation.
