Djefvul is a doom and stoner metal band from Norrkoping, Sweden, formed in 2023. The project delivers heavy doom and stoner riffs.
Djerv are an Oslo rock and metal band led by vocalist Agnete Kjolsrud, whose fierce, elastic delivery gives the group its unmistakable center. Formed in 2010 after members' work in Animal Alpha and Stonegard, Djerv entered the Norwegian heavy scene with a self-titled debut that fused hard rock swagger, heavy metal drive, black metal bite, and modern production. Songs such as "Headstone" and "Madman" showed a band able to sound catchy without losing menace, while later returns after periods of quiet activity kept their identity alive through singles, festival appearances, and soundtrack work connected to major game and animation projects. Djerv fit metal scope through heavy riffing, extreme-metal influence, and clear ties to Norway's broader rock and metal ecosystem. Their music is hook-forward but never lightweight; the guitars have grit, the drums push hard, and Kjolsrud's voice can turn from melodic command to feral attack quickly. Djerv's strength is contrast. They make metal feel theatrical and accessible without smoothing away its teeth, giving each song a charged, high-voltage personality.
Djevelblod is a raw black metal and dark ambient one-man project from Costa Rica, formed in 2022. The project released both the demo Night of Blood and the EP From the Dark Depths in 2022, establishing a lo-fi, primitive black metal aesthetic in its debut year. Djevelblod operates as a fully independent act and distributes music through Bandcamp.
Djevelkult plays black metal from Gjovik in Oppland, active since 2018 and whose Norwegian name — "devil cult" — places them firmly in the nation's storied tradition of occult-themed black metal. Their music channels the genre's second-wave spirit through compositions steeped in darkness and devotion.
Djevelsk is a black metal band from Norwich, England, formed in 2024. Their releases include Rehearsals, Deep Cuts; Reflections, Remorse, Raulin (R.I.P); and Final Cuts - Farewells, documenting the project's raw black metal vision.
Djevelskap plays blackened death/post-metal from Oslo, formed in 2024 and whose Norwegian name — "devilry" — frames their multi-genre hybrid as an act of diabolical creativity. Their fusion of blackened death metal with post-metal's atmospheric expansiveness creates a distinctive, cinematic sound.
Djhin is a progressive metal band from Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, currently active as an independent act. The band is documented on Encyclopaedia Metallum and contributes to the progressive metal scene in northeastern Brazil's cultural capital. They release music through Bandcamp as an unsigned outfit.
Djinn is a black, thrash, and speed metal band from Glenrothes, Scotland, formed in 2019. The band deliver a fierce combination of first-wave black metal aggression with the velocity of thrash and speed metal.
Djinova is a five-piece deathcore band from Coventry in the West Midlands, blending old and new school death metal with modern deathcore breakdowns, complex riffs, and odd time signatures. Their 2021 album Apocalypsis Infinitum was recorded by Neil Hudson at Initiate Audio and Media, featuring vocalists Jamie Barker, guitarists Adam Fairs and John Morley, bassist Scott Baskin, and drummer Tony Overton.
