Damned is a black metal band from Warsaw, Poland, formed in 2022. The project delivers raw and aggressive black metal from the Polish capital.
Kansas City's Damned by the Pope deliver straightforward, riff-driven death metal with a sardonic edge baked right into the name. Active since 2015, the band keeps its focus squarely on groove, grime, and the kind of blasphemous intensity the genre demands.
Damned Creed is a death/thrash metal band from Athens, Greece, formed in 2013. Their second full-length album Choose a Side (2013) delivers four tracks of heavy and thrash metal with politically charged themes of mutiny and societal greed.
A fresh arrival from Lawton, Oklahoma, Damned from Mankind weld brutal death metal's savagery to sludge's oppressive low-end drag, forging something uncomfortably heavy out of the collision. The band emerged in 2025 with a sound that sounds like a slow collapse.
Sandy Hook, Virginia's Damned Icon occupy the introspective space where progressive metal meets hard rock, building melodically rich compositions that reward careful listening. Since 2017, the project has consistently pushed toward ambitious songwriting over sheer volume.
Damned Nation plays heavy metal from Stockholm, formed in 2026 and carrying the torch for classic Swedish heavy metal in a scene dominated by extreme genres. Their nation-under-judgment name adds apocalyptic weight to traditional riff-driven compositions.
Damned Ritual is a melodic death/thrash metal band from Pamplona, Spain, formed in 2017. They combine melodic hooks with the ferocity of death and thrash from Navarre.
Damned Slaves is a groove metal and metalcore act from Santa Cruz de Tenerife in the Canary Islands, bringing heavy, rhythm-driven aggression from Spain's Atlantic volcanic archipelago. Active since 2016, they represent the extreme metal scene thriving far from the European mainland.
Seattle's Damned to Death arrived in 2020 fusing the cold savagery of black metal with death metal's grinding brutality, drawing on the Pacific Northwest's long tradition of underground extremity. The result is music designed to erode, not merely assault.
