Deorum Inferus is a symphonic doom metal duo from Lamia and Karpenisi in Central Greece, featuring guitarist-vocalist Giannis Rizos and pianist-orchestrator Notis Tsigas (Dr. Radioactive). Their 2026 debut concept album Corpus Edimum explores Greek mythology, Gnosticism, and apocryphal eschatology, the first installment in a planned Trilogy of the Apocryphal Lost Knowledge.
Deos is a black/death metal band from Annecy, France, formed in 2015. They play extreme metal from the Alpine lakeside city.
Dep plays groove/death metal from Steinkjer in Trondelag, active since 2006 and delivering nearly two decades of heavy, rhythm-centric compositions from central Norway. Their monosyllabic name matches a direct, no-nonsense approach to extreme metal.
Gloucester City, New Jersey's Departed have been operating in the gritty overlap of thrash, metalcore, and hardcore since 2016 — a combination that reflects the Garden State's blue-collar DIY ethos in every riff and shout. Their music is direct and confrontational, built for small venues and stage dives rather than festival main stages.
Departed is a deathcore act from Banja Luka in the Republika Srpska entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina, delivering crushing breakdowns and guttural vocals from a region better known for turbo-folk than extreme metal. Their emergence speaks to deathcore's growing footprint across the Balkans.
Departed Souls plays death metal from Schoonebeek in Drenthe, active since 2014 and channeling the spirits of the dead through heavy, uncompromising compositions. Their remote, northeastern Dutch location adds genuine isolation to music already steeped in mortality.
Bayonne, New Jersey's Department of Coreuption have been delivering old-school thrash metal since 2010, with a name that telegraphs their sardonic attitude toward authority and their devotion to the genre's insurgent roots. Their sound is planted firmly in the East Coast thrash tradition — aggressive, politically aware, and unafraid to be loud about it.
Department of Correction is a grindcore band from Paris, France, active since 2012. They deliver corrective blasts of grindcore from the French capital.
Dependentium is a black metal band from Tampere, Finland, formed in 2016. They play dependent, intertwined black metal from Finland's industrial heartland.
