Dollar Llama plays stoner/southern metal and rock from Lisbon, active since 2012 and channeling the American South's heavy rock tradition through a Portuguese filter. Their absurdist name — combining currency with camelids — adds irreverent humor to fuzz-drenched, groove-laden compositions.
Dollstake plays deathcore from Lipetsk, active since 2021 and driving stakes through the hearts of both dolls and listeners through crushing breakdowns. Their voodoo-evoking name adds occult menace to modern extreme metal.
Dolmen is a heavy metal band from Ourense, Spain, formed in 2023. Named after the ancient megaliths, they play heavy metal rooted in ancient power.
Dolmen Gate plays epic heavy metal from the Almada/Lisbon area, formed in 2023 and named after the Neolithic stone monuments that dot Portugal's countryside. Their archaeological name anchors epic, narrative-driven heavy metal in the deep prehistoric heritage of the Iberian Peninsula.
Dolmenn is a southern/stoner metal band from Mataró, Spain, active since 2014. They deliver fuzzy southern and stoner metal from the Catalan coast.
Dolmens is a symphonic black metal band from Lyon, France, formed in 2020. Named after ancient megaliths, they channel primordial energy through symphonic black metal.
Dolor is a black/heavy metal band from Chiloeches, Spain, active since 2014. Their name meaning 'pain,' they blend black metal's coldness with heavy metal's power.
Dolorangst plays post-black metal from Bryansk near the Belarusian border, active since 2019 and whose name — fusing dolor (pain) with angst — captures the emotional palette of their expansive, atmospheric compositions. Their border-region location adds a liminal quality to music already steeped in emotional between-states.
Dolore Affectus — Latin for "pain" and "suffering" — is a US black metal project that emerged in 2020 with a name that lays its aesthetic philosophy bare from the outset. Rooted in the rawer, more introspective traditions of the genre, the project leans into the emotional devastation that the best black metal weaponizes. Their anonymity and lack of fixed location only adds to the isolationist mystique central to their craft.
