Dehead is a Rigan thrash metal act active since 2015, delivering aggressive, neck-snapping riffage to Latvia's metal community. Their decapitation-evoking name matches the surgical precision and violent energy of their thrash attack.
Deheubarth is a black/doom metal band from Wales, formed in 2021. Named after the medieval Welsh kingdom, they deliver Welsh-rooted black doom metal.
Vancouver, Washington's Dehextria formed in 2025, channeling the cold desolation of depressive black metal from the rainy, grey Pacific Northwest — a landscape that practically writes the subgenre for you. Their brand of DSBM leans into isolation and atmosphere, embracing the raw, meditative anguish at the heart of the form.

South Carolina's Dehiscence combine brutal death metal's clinical heaviness with goregrind's splatter-centric grotesquerie, a combination that arrived in 2022 with maximum visceral intent. Their surgical brutality lands somewhere between the slamming low end of brutal death and the chaotic, rapid-fire energy of goregrind — ugly by design and unapologetically so.
Portland, Oregon's Dehiscence bring death metal and grindcore together with the Pacific Northwest underground's characteristic intensity — formed in 2022 in a city that has always sustained a healthy appetite for fast, brutal, uncompromising extreme music. Short bursts of controlled violence with enough death metal structure to anchor the grindcore chaos.
Seattle sludge metal outfit Dehiscent formed in 2021, harnessing the city's damp, overcast atmosphere into the slow, grinding heaviness the subgenre demands. Sludge metal has always thrived in the Pacific Northwest, and Dehiscent fits the mold — thick, downtrodden, and patient in the way that only the heaviest music can afford to be.
Dehonest is a death metal band from Nitra, Slovakia, formed in 2020. The project delivers aggressive death metal from western Slovakia.
Formed in Brussels in 2006 under the earlier name Cranial Autopsy, Dehuman play technically rigorous death metal drawing on the influence of Morbid Angel, Suffocation, and Atheist. Their debut Black Throne of All Creation (2012) on Kaotoxin Records was followed by the critically well-received Graveyard of Eden (2015), and the band has toured alongside acts including Cattle Decapitation, Severe Torture, and Blood Red Throne.
