Dogsflesh is a thrash, heavy metal, and crossover band from Teesside, originally formed in 1982 by Rob Moore as one of the pioneers of English hardcore punk. Their fourth studio album March of the Damned (2025) continues the band's four-decade evolution from hardcore punk roots into heavy thrash and crossover territory, recorded at Prism Studios in Stoke-on-Trent.
Dogslicer is a black and death metal band from Ukraine, formed in 2018. The project merges extreme metal styles.
Dogstar are a guitar-driven alternative rock trio whose story has always been grounded in friendship and unpretentious band chemistry. Bret Domrose's voice and guitar give the songs their melodic front, Robert Mailhouse's drums keep the arrangements direct, and Keanu Reeves' bass sits as a steady, warm anchor rather than a celebrity distraction. The band's first run produced Quattro Formaggi and Our Little Visionary, records shaped by the college-rock and grunge-era language of ringing guitars, mid-tempo push, and emotionally plainspoken songwriting. After a long dormancy, Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees reintroduced Dogstar with a cleaner sound but a similar emphasis on sturdy songs over studio spectacle. The newer material has a relaxed confidence: guitars shimmer or thicken as needed, vocals stay understated, and the rhythm section favors feel over flash. Dogstar's music is not aggressive in a metal sense, but it carries a hard-strummed, 1990s-rooted weight that connects it to the broader guitar-rock continuum. The band's best songs work because they feel lived-in, modest, and built to survive outside the mythology around the people playing them.
