Demons Seed is a heavy metal band from the Falscheid/Lebach area of Germany, formed in 2021. They plant classic heavy metal riffs with dark, sinister undertones.
Ruthless Death Metal from Dallas.
Whittier, California's Demonslaught have been storming through the black/thrash underground since 2021 with a reckless, fire-and-chainsaw approach that honors the Angeleno tradition of high-speed malevolence. Fast, filthy, and furiously lo-fi, they channel the spirit of the early blackthrash pioneers with contemporary ferocity.
Demonslut is a doom/stoner metal band from the Sinsheim/Heidelberg area of Germany, active since 2012. They deliver heavy, fuzz-drenched doom and stoner metal with provocative attitude.
Out of Antioch, California since 2015, Demonsmoke drag sludge and doom metal through the Bay Area's grimy underbelly, building suffocating walls of distortion laced with a toxic, crawling menace. Their music has the slow-motion fury of sludge's hardcore roots married to doom's infinite, oppressive descent.
Demonstealer is the solo death metal project of Sahil Makhija — the Mumbai-based musician, producer, and founder of Demonic Resurrection who is widely regarded as the most pivotal figure in Indian extreme metal — a vehicle for intricate, technically accomplished death metal assembled with all-star international lineups including drummers from Necrophagist, Septicflesh, Benighted, and Ne Obliviscaris. Across albums including This Burden Is Mine (2016), The Last Reptilian Warrior (2018), and The Propaganda Machine (2023) via Black Lion Records, Makhija has demonstrated that world-class technical death metal can be forged entirely outside the traditional metal centers of Europe and North America.
Demonstride is a melodic black and death metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden, formed in 2009. The project channels atmospheric extreme metal from the west coast.
Demontain is a post-metal and sludge metal band from Vicenza, Italy, originally formed in 2007 under the name The Angriest Dog in the World. The four-piece blends metal, doom, and hardcore into a unique and confrontational sound, recorded at Lost In Space Studio.
Demonthor is a black/thrash metal band from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The band released "A Night for the Demon" in 1999 and is listed as split-up on the Metal Archives, representing one of the underground black/thrash outfits that emerged from Rio de Janeiro's extreme metal scene.
