Deluzion plays melodic death/thrash metal from Zutphen in Gelderland, formed in 2022 and delivering aggressive compositions under the banner of deliberate self-deception. Their misspelled name suggests the illusions that sustain both their art and their audience.
Saint Paul's DeLuziver carve out an unpredictable corner of avant-garde death metal, warping the genre's structural conventions with restless compositional instincts since their 2021 formation. The band weaponizes dissonance and unexpected texture shifts to create something genuinely unsettling — death metal that refuses to behave.
Delvays plays depressive black metal from Chelyabinsk in the Urals, active since 2014 and channeling the industrial-city blues of the Ural metal belt into raw, emotionally wracked compositions. Their decade of anguished output speaks to a sustained creative commitment to DSBM.
Delve is a death metal band from Ahus, Sweden, formed in 2016. The project delivers aggressive death metal from the Skane coast.
Delyria is a death and thrash metal band from Grosseto, Tuscany, Italy, formed in 2017. The project merges death metal's brutality with thrash metal's velocity in an aggressive Tuscan extreme metal combination.
Delyrium plays progressive metal from the La Mancha towns of Tomelloso and Albacete, active since 2021 and exploring the genre's most cerebral territory from Don Quixote's heartland. Their umlaut-adorned name and ambitious compositions suggest a feverish creative vision that tilts at musical windmills.
Demagoda is a progressive death/groove metal band from Newcastle upon Tyne, England, active since 2007. They deliver ambitious progressive death/groove from the North East.
Demahum plays black/death metal from Moscow, active since 2020 and whose name — suggesting the erasure of humanity — drives compositions that merge black metal's atmospheric darkness with death metal's physical brutality.
Demande à la Poussière is a blackened sludge/post-metal band from Paris, France, formed in 2018. Their name meaning 'ask the dust,' they create heavy, blackened soundscapes.
