please update this band
Mount Pleasant death metal outfit formed in 2023, Decedent arrives already steeped in the rotting mid-western tradition of brutality over melody. Putrefying riffs and relentless blastwork mark this young Michigan act as one to watch.
Deceitful End is a melodic death metal band from Madrid, Spain, active since 2014. They deliver powerful melodic death metal from the Spanish capital.
Deceitful Sorcery is a black and melodic black metal project from Graz, Styria, Austria, releasing music through Running Wild Productions. Their releases Of Battles and Recaption (2024) and Of Kings and Landscapes (2025) point to a project with thematic interests in warfare and landscape — comparable in atmosphere to other Styrian black metal acts such as Hellsaw and Varulv.
Deceitome is a death metal band from Tallinn, Estonia, formed in 2016. They deliver deceptive, heavy death metal from Estonia's capital.
Pomona's Deceive spent their early years dealing in death/thrash crossfire before pivoting toward a darker blackened death sound — a natural evolution for a band forged in Southern California's uncompromising underground. Over a decade on, their sound remains as caustic as the Inland Empire streets that bred them.
