St. Louis's Desinsertion pair death metal's brutality with grindcore's furious brevity, producing a sound that is relentless and unsparing since their 2019 formation. The Midwest's underrated extreme metal underground has a genuine asset in a band that understand both sides of the death/grind equation.
Troy, New York's Desintegrator arrived on the stoner metal scene in 2023, bringing the genre's fuzz-heavy, riff-centric approach to upstate New York's blue-collar post-industrial landscape. Their name captures the slow, dissolving quality of their music — heavyweight and hypnotic, built for extended trips rather than quick hits.
Desire for Sorrow is a melodic black metal band from the Tyn nad Vltavou/Zliv area of the Czech Republic, founded in 2009 and signed to MetalGate Records. With albums including 'At Dawn of Abysmal Ruination' and 'Visions,' the band has toured extensively across Europe and Mexico, blending symphonic textures with black and death metal intensity.
Desista is a post-black metal band from Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, formed in 2011. The independent project explores themes of despair, inner reflection, and solitude through atmospheric black metal textures.
Out of Española, New Mexico since 2013, Desmadre are a controlled detonation of death metal, grindcore, hardcore, and thrash — a four-genre collision that mirrors the Spanish word for chaos itself. They play fast and mean, with the kind of pit-ready ferocity that small desert towns breed when they have something to say.
Desmodus is a heavy metal band from Postrizin, Czech Republic, active since 2012 and delivering dark, atmospheric heaviness rooted in the traditional metal framework. Their sound channels gothic and experimental influences through a heavy metal lens.
Desmodus Rothundus was a death/doom metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, active in the 1990s Brazilian underground extreme metal scene. The band, alongside Guehenom, later evolved into the project Tenebrario.
Desmodus Rotundus plays black metal and grindcore from Bergen, formed in 2024 and named after the common vampire bat. Their scientific-nomenclature name adds a zoological precision to the blood-soaked ferocity of their extreme metal.
