Doro is a heavy metal act from Düsseldorf, Germany, active since 2015. They carry the torch of classic German heavy metal.
Dorothy are a Los Angeles hard rock band fronted by vocalist and songwriter Dorothy Martin, whose voice gives the project its mix of grit, soul, and arena-sized force. Emerging in the mid-2010s, the band drew attention with a self-titled EP and the full-length ROCKISDEAD, which framed Martin's vocals inside bluesy riffs, swaggering rhythms, and modern rock production. 28 Days in the Valley, Gifts from the Holy Ghost, and later work broadened the emotional range, adding gospel, Southern rock, spiritual themes, and a stronger sense of personal recovery without abandoning the heavy guitar foundation. Dorothy fit hard-rock scope through blues rock riffing, big vocals, and a touring presence connected to contemporary mainstream rock and metal audiences. The songs are built around impact: stomps, claps, riffs, and choruses that leave room for Martin to push from smoky restraint to full-throated release. What separates Dorothy from simple retro rock is the emotional center. The music can be glamorous and polished, but it is strongest when faith, survival, heartbreak, and defiance all move through the same loud, blues-rooted frame.
Dorris.De is a heavy/thrash metal band with hardcore influences from Frankfurt (Oder) on the Polish border, active since 2010. Their unusual name — complete with internet domain suffix — pairs oddly with a sound rooted in aggressive, no-frills thrash that draws energy from the hardcore scene.
Dorthia Cottrell is a Richmond, Virginia singer-songwriter best known as the lead vocalist of doom metal band Windhand.
