Destroy Babylon is a Turinese metalcore band active since 2008, channeling straightedge hardcore energy through metallic riffing and breakdowns. Their name's biblical reference and the X-marked spelling of their URL point to the hardcore tradition's roots in social and spiritual conviction.
Destroy Boys formed in Sacramento in 2015 when Alexia Roditis and Violet Mayugba were teenagers, and the band grew from garage shows into one of the most visible young punk acts from California. Early releases such as Sorry, Mom and Make Room captured a raw, wiry sound, with songs like "I Threw Glass at My Friend's Eyes and Now I'm on Probation" and "Crybaby" turning sharp personal moments into quick, nervy punk. Open Mouth, Open Heart expanded the band's reach with more confident hooks and a wider emotional palette, while Funeral Soundtrack #4 pushed further into identity, anger, vulnerability, and growth. Destroy Boys fit punk and post-punk scope directly through their sound, scene, and lyrical focus on alienation, queerness, interpersonal harm, and self-definition. Their music can be scrappy, melodic, sarcastic, and bruised within the same song. The band's appeal lies in the sense that the songs are still close to the rooms that made them: imperfect, urgent, communal, and driven by the need to say something before the feeling passes.
A three-piece groove metal band from Beerzel in Antwerp province, Destroy Humanity describe their own sound as gnarly riffs and thunderous grooves delivered with raw, unrelenting energy. The band distributes their music independently via Bandcamp and Spotify, carving out a heavy, riff-driven niche in the Belgian groove metal underground.
Destroy My Enemy is a groove metal and metalcore band from Mogilev, Belarus, active since 2013, incorporating thrash and melodic death metal elements into their aggressive sound. With albums like 'No Place For The Liar,' they deliver tight, riff-driven compositions with a modern edge.
Since 2011, San Pedro's Destroy the Opposition have navigated the overlap between death metal and deathcore with a focus on sheer physical impact — their sound is dense, rhythmically punishing, and engineered for maximum damage to any room they play in.
Destroy the Silence is a groove metal band from Říčany, Czech Republic, formed in 2017. They channel heavy, rhythmic riffs and crushing grooves in the tradition of modern groove metal.
Destroy Us is a raw black metal project from Switzerland, formed in 2014 and trafficking in the lo-fi aggression and stripped-down fury that defines the raw black metal underground. Their approach favors atmosphere and hostility over production polish.
Destroya is a NWOBHM/heavy metal band from London, England, formed in 2017. They destroy with classic British heavy metal from the capital.
Destroyed in Seconds plays death metal from Caldas da Rainha, active since 2010 and promising total annihilation in the briefest possible timeframe. Their urgently destructive name drives compositions that waste no time reaching maximum intensity.
