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.
Demaniax is a death and progressive metal band from Genoa, Italy, formed in 2014. The project blends the heaviness of death metal with progressive metal's structural ambition from the Ligurian underground.
Demantor is a death metal band from Großziethen, Germany, active since 1998. With over two decades in the underground, they are seasoned practitioners of crushing German death metal.
Mission Viejo's Demas blend melodic death metal aggression with gothic atmosphere and darkwave undercurrents, arriving at a sound that's simultaneously crushing and haunted. Formed in 2021, they inhabit the shadowed space between Scandinavian melodeath and the darker corners of California's underground, where brutality and melancholy share equal footing.
Asheville's Demasculator emerged in 2021 fusing black metal's cold malevolence with the d-beat fury of crust punk — a combination that suits the NC mountains' outsider ethos well. Raw, ugly, and deliberately stripped-down, their sound plants a filthy boot at the intersection of Darkthrone and Discharge.
