Delivers is a heavy metal and hard rock band from Athens, Greece, formed in 2014. The band play classic heavy metal and hard rock with the energy of the active Athenian metal scene.
Austin's DeLizza have been slinging crossover thrash and sludge-soaked metal since 2018, pulling from the Texas capital's eclectically heavy underground. Their sound mashes the short, sharp velocity of crossover punk with the thick, detuned weight of sludge metal — two extremes that share more in common than they might appear.
Augusta, Georgia's Dellamorte emerged in 2022 as a grindcore outfit named after the Italian phrase for death — a fittingly direct name for a band that delivers rapid-fire blasts of noise-soaked intensity. The band draws from the genre's roots in punk and extreme metal, keeping the songs short, loud, and purposefully destructive.
Deller plays doom/sludge metal from Taganrog on the Sea of Azov, active since 2014. Their coastal southern Russian location provides a warmer-than-typical backdrop for the genre's characteristic heaviness and slow-motion aggression.
Chapel Hill, North Carolina's Delorean have been playing traditional heavy metal since 2017, drawing on the college town's fertile music scene. Named after the iconic time-traveling car, the band channels the sounds of metal's classic era — sturdy riffs, melodic hooks, and the kind of earnest commitment to the genre that never goes out of style.
Bangor, Maine's Delph have been crafting stoner doom since 2017, their sound shaped by the long winters and isolated wilderness of northern New England. The band blends fuzz-heavy stoner grooves with doom metal's glacial pacing, producing music that feels as unhurried and inevitable as the Maine landscape itself.
Los Angeles technical death metal outfit Delphian formed in 2021, carrying the city's strong tradition of forward-thinking extreme metal into the current decade. Their sound prioritizes compositional complexity and instrumental precision, weaving labyrinthine song structures through the punishing rhythmic backbone of the genre.
Delphos is a heavy metal band from Madrid, Spain, formed in 2018. They play classic heavy metal with an oracle-like mystique.
Delphoz is a groove/death metal power trio from Tucumán, Argentina, consisting of Matías Orquera on guitar and vocals, Germán Gómez on drums, and Ezequiel Gómez on bass. The band released their debut full-length Manifiesto in February 2012 on Las Tias Records, recorded and produced at Music Corp Studios in Tucumán with mastering handled in Buenos Aires at La Nave de Oseberg; they also performed at the inaugural Tucumán Metal Fest in 2008.
