Dodskold is a black metal band from Sweden, formed in 2021. The project channels dark black metal.
Dodskop plays black metal and noise from Beek en Donk in North Brabant, formed in 2025 and whose Dutch name — meaning "death's head" — signals skull-themed extremity. Their fusion of black metal's tremolo darkness with noise's abrasive textures creates a sound that attacks from both atmospheric and textural directions.
Doedsjarl plays raw black metal from Mikhaylovsk in Stavropol Krai, formed in 2022 and whose Norse-styled name — meaning "death earl" — channels Nordic black metal aesthetics through a southern Russian lens. Their lo-fi approach strips the genre to its most essential, abrasive elements.
Doedskvad is a Madrid-based black metal act formed in 2019 whose Norwegian-styled name signals an allegiance to Scandinavian black metal traditions transplanted to the Iberian Peninsula. Their compositions channel Northern European bleakness through a Spanish lens, creating an atmospheric tension between warmth and frost.
Doedsstraff plays black/thrash metal from Bergen, active since 2013 and whose Norwegian name — meaning "death penalty" — delivers capital punishment through extreme sonic violence. Their dual-genre assault combines black metal's atmospheric malice with thrash's execution-speed riffing.
Dog Chasing Sun plays stoner/doom metal from Moscow, active since 2018 and pursuing the blinding riff with canine determination. Their playful name belies the crushing weight of their fuzz-drenched, slow-motion compositions.
Buffalo's Dog Day Sunrise have been delivering groove metal with hard rock swagger since 2018, a fitting output from a rust belt city that has always responded to music with blunt physicality. Their sound sits in the working-class groove metal tradition — not flashy, not seeking approval, just heavy riffs driven forward with the kind of blue-collar conviction that never sounds forced.
A gothic doom metal band from Graz, Austria, whose debut self-titled EP (2025) spans five tracks and 25 minutes of low-tuned, oppressive riffing and keyboard atmosphere situated between classic doom and Gothic metal. The release includes a cover of Type O Negative's 'Love You To Death' and conceptually explores themes of excessive pride, power, and inevitable decline.
Dog in the Burning House is a progressive metal band from Istanbul, Turkey, formed in 2017. The project explores complex progressive metal from the Bosphorus city.
