Dodecahedron is an avant-garde black metal act from Tilburg, active since 2015 and named after the twelve-faced Platonic solid. Their geometric reference suits music that approaches black metal from multiple angles simultaneously, creating disorienting, mathematically complex compositions that challenge genre conventions.
Doden Grotte plays black metal from Astrakhan on the Caspian Sea, active since 2013 and whose Norse-derived name — meaning "dead grotto" — evokes subterranean darkness. Their Caspian location places them far from the genre's Nordic heartland while channeling its atmospheric traditions.
Dodengraver is a black 'n' roll band from Wittmund, Germany, formed in 2024. They fuse black metal's cold ferocity with rock and roll's swagger.
Dodenkrocht is a Leiden-based black metal act formed in 2023 whose Dutch name evokes deathly crypts and subterranean darkness. Their music channels the claustrophobic menace of burial vaults through atmospheric, underground black metal.
Formed in Merelbeke, East Flanders in 2021, Dodenmis play black and death metal with lyrical themes drawn from the cosmic horror fiction of H.P. Lovecraft. The band is among the newer generation of Ghent-area extreme metal acts building on Belgium's deep underground tradition.
Dodenstorm is a black metal act from Hulst in Zeeland, active since 2014 and whose Dutch name — "death storm" — describes the tempestuous character of their compositions. Their location near the Belgian border places them in a cross-cultural zone that enriches their atmospheric black metal.
Dodentocht plays death/doom/sludge metal from Eindhoven, formed in 2023 and whose Dutch name — meaning "death march" — evokes a grim procession through crushing, slow-motion heaviness. Their triple-genre approach piles the weight of doom, death, and sludge into an overwhelming sonic mass.
Dodmorke plays raw black metal and punk from Mikhaylovsk in Stavropol Krai, active since 2020. Their fusion of lo-fi black metal with punk's directness creates a volatile, unpolished sound from Russia's southern steppes.
Dodskammer is a black metal band from Vicenza, Italy, formed in 2002. One of the veteran black metal acts in the Veneto region, the project has delivered over two decades of dark extreme metal.
