Heavy Heavy Metal from Dallas/Carrollton.
Formed in Wantagh, Long Island in 2014, Dorian Grey — note the spelling distinction from their Boston counterparts — brings a progressive metal approach that suits the complexity of their literary namesake. The band works within the intricate, arrangement-heavy side of prog metal, where time signatures shift and melody serves architecture rather than the other way around. Long Island has quietly produced a strong heavy music community, and Dorian Grey's technical ambitions mark them as a serious proposition within it.
Dorian Sky is a progressive heavy metal band from Athens, Greece, formed in 2019. The band blend progressive compositions with classic heavy metal power.
Doriath is a progressive metal band from Prague, Czech Republic, formed in 2026. They craft intricate, ambitious compositions that push the boundaries of progressive metal.
From the small South Carolina town of Lyman, Doriyah has carved out an imposing blackened death-doom sound since forming in 2021, the isolation of the Upstate region evident in the claustrophobic density of their music. The band pulls from every dark tradition in their genre crossroads — the ferocity of black metal, the devastating weight of doom, the blunt-force trauma of death metal — and synthesizes them into something that feels genuinely oppressive. In a state with a smaller but intensely dedicated metal underground, Doriyah represent the kind of uncompromising artistry that thrives in obscurity.
Dork is a progressive death metal band from Belfort, France, formed in 2017. They deliver ambitious progressive death metal from eastern France.
Dorko is an atmospheric and melodic black metal band from La Paz, Bolivia, active since 2016. Their 2017 debut full-length Darkness of Lucifer blends melodic black metal song structures with occult lyrical themes, delivering tracks in both English and Spanish across a sprawling twelve-track release. The band self-releases their music independently and has been recognized within the Latin American black metal underground.
Dormancy is a heavy metal band from Helsinki, Finland, formed in 2017. They awaken crushing heavy metal from the Finnish capital.
Dormant Carnivore plays slam/brutal death metal from Perm in the Urals, active since 2008 and channeling the hibernating predator of their name into ferocious, technically demanding compositions. Their sleeping-killer imagery suits music that lies in wait before delivering devastating bursts of brutality.
