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.
Rochester's Damn Chili serve up goregrind and brutal death metal with the kind of absurdist irreverence the subgenre demands, fusing surgical heaviness with gleeful grotesquery since 2008. They lean fully into the nastier end of the underground, with no apologies.
Damn Human emerged in 2021 as a melodic death metal project defined by fluid riffcraft and a sense of melodic purpose that elevates the material above genre workmanship. Their approach takes the emotional core of melodeath seriously without sacrificing edge.
please update this band
Damn Nation plays death metal and grindcore from Lille in northern France, formed in 2025 and delivering rapid-fire extremity from the industrial heart of French Flanders. Their damning name channels righteous fury into microsecond bursts of sonic violence.
