New York's Diabolus arrived in 2022 with a thrash metal agenda that leaves no room for half-measures — riffs first, second, and last, built in the aggressive tradition that the state's metal scene has long sustained. Despite being a newer outfit, their approach carries the conviction of bands with far more years behind them.
Diabolus in Extremis is a thrash metal band from Cádiz, Spain, active since 2012. They deliver fierce thrash metal from Andalusia's Atlantic port city.
Diabol Boruta is a folk metal band from Rzeszow, Poland, formed in 2014. Named after a figure from Polish legend, the project blends folk elements with metal from the Subcarpathian region.
Diabrera is a thrash and groove metal band from Chapecó, in the extreme west of Santa Catarina, operating in a regional scene known to its participants as the Velho Oeste underground. The band maintains an active SoundCloud presence under the handle oficialdiabrera and a self-titled YouTube channel, through which it has circulated its material including the track Cadáver. The Chapecó scene from which Diabrera emerges is comparatively young by Brazilian metal standards but well-documented: regional blogs such as Velho Oeste Underground and Bandas SC Rock Clube have spent the last decade chronicling a steady output of heavy bands from the western part of Santa Catarina, while broader catarinense coverage from outlets like ndmais and Collectors Room has tracked the state's emergence as a credible metal centre since the 1990s, when festivals began filling the annual calendar. Diabrera's stylistic positioning between thrash and groove places it in a recognisably Brazilian lineage: the country's foundational thrash sound, traced in the Brazilian thrash metal Wikipedia entry from Belo Horizonte and São Paulo through Sepultura, Sarcófago and Dorsal Atlântica, gave way in the 1990s to a heavier groove-laden hybrid most famously codified by Sepultura's Chaos A.D. and Roots. That hybrid remains the template for much regional Brazilian heavy music outside the major capitals, and Diabrera's choice of a Portuguese-language thematic vocabulary, including the unambiguous Cadáver, locates it within that nationally specific dialect of thrash rather than any imported template. The band remains active and continues to release material independently.
Diabula Rasa is a folk metal band from Lugo, in the Ravenna province of Emilia-Romagna, Italy, formed in 2005. Using bagpipes, electro-acoustic hurdy-gurdy, and pipe organ, the five-piece reimagines 13th and 14th century melodies with period-authentic lyrics fused into a modern metal and rock framework.
Diabulus in Musica is a symphonic/power metal band from Pamplona, Spain, active since 2012. They blend symphonic grandeur with power metal energy from Navarre.
