Detestial is a black/thrash metal band from Athens, Greece, formed in 2024. The band deliver aggressive blackened thrash drawing from both the Hellenic black metal tradition and thrash metal fury.
Detestor plays death metal from Ourense in Galicia, active since 2019 and delivering punishing extreme metal from Spain's rainy, Celtic-influenced northwest. Their Latin-rooted name — to detest — channels raw hatred into focused sonic aggression.
Pearblossom, California's Deth Bed emerged in 2020 playing blackened death metal — a style that fuses black metal's atmospheric menace with death metal's low-end brutality into something uglier and more volatile than either parent genre. The high desert location north of Los Angeles adds an isolation and grit their music wears naturally.
A heavy metal band from Linz, Upper Austria, formed in 2021, whose self-described sound prioritizes authenticity and freedom through melodic riffs and heavy breakdowns. They have released several demos and EPs including 'Bloody Cross,' 'Eternal Nightmare,' and 'Dawn of a New Horizon,' and have performed at venues including the Ottakringer Brewery in Vienna.
Dethklok began as the fictional band at the center of Brendon Small's Adult Swim animated series 'Metalocalypse,' but the music proved too good to remain fictional. Small, who writes and performs nearly all the music, channels melodic death metal through absurdist comedy, creating albums like 'The Dethalbum' that are genuinely impressive thrash and death metal records in their own right. The project's transition from cartoon novelty to legitimate touring act with Gene Hoglan on drums is one of metal's most unlikely success stories.
Dethlirium is a death/thrash metal band from Bilbao, Spain, formed in 2016. They unleash frenetic death/thrash from the Basque capital.

Richmond, Virginia's Dethorned have been working the death/thrash underground since 2014, channeling the city's strong extreme metal tradition into riff-driven material that balances death metal's darkness with thrash's angular velocity. Richmond has always bred bands that play with purpose, and Dethorned fits that mold.
Dethotica is a gothic/doom metal band from South East England, formed in 2017. They deliver dark gothic doom from the English southeast.
