Damask plays a volatile mix of speed, heavy, and black metal from Volgodonsk in Rostov Oblast, active since 2019. Their city — built to house workers for a nuclear power plant — lends industrial-age intensity to their triple-genre attack.
Damator is a thrash metal band from Zlin, Czech Republic, active since 2016 and delivering high-speed riffing rooted in the classic thrash metal tradition. Their sound channels the relentless energy and aggressive attack that define the genre's most visceral qualities.
Named for the Haitian Vodou serpent deity, Van Nuys' Damballa traffic in black metal infused with occult imagery and ritualistic atmosphere. Since forming in 2019 in the shadow of Los Angeles, they've channeled underground menace into a sound that feels genuinely cursed.
Damek is a doom/groove metal band from Cardiff, Wales, formed in 2023. They deliver crushing Welsh doom and groove.
Drawing the name from Irish Gaelic mythology, New Mexico's Damhnait craft raw black metal that carries a sense of isolation fitting the high desert landscape. A recent arrival on the scene, formed in 2023, with a sound rooted in primitive, unadorned ferocity.
Damiano Biasutto is a solo instrumental metal guitarist and composer from San Giovanni al Natisone in Friuli, whose albums Powered by Steel, Dangerous Railway, and Minstrel of the Dark showcase his technical prowess across a range of heavy metal styles. His compositions emphasize melodic lead guitar work and steely riff construction without the need for vocals.
Damientorn plays metalcore from Moscow, arriving in 2026 as one of the newest entries in the Russian metalcore scene. Their ominous name — evoking the Damien of horror cinema — adds a sinister edge to their heavy, breakdown-driven sound.
Damim is a progressive black/death metal band from London, England, active since 2005. With two decades of history, they push extreme metal into cerebral progressive territory.
Dammercide started in Vercelli as a technical death metal act before evolving into more progressive metal territory, tracing an arc from precision-driven brutality toward complex, exploratory songwriting. This genre migration gives their catalog a distinctive dual identity rooted in both extremes of the metal spectrum.
