Dosis Exakta is a thrash metal and hardcore band from Santiago, Chile, formed in 2015. Their debut album, released that same year, features eight tracks of aggressive street-level metal drawing on both thrash and hardcore punk traditions.
Doska is a melodic black metal band from Bayeux, France, formed in 2022. They deliver melodic black metal from the historic Norman town.
East Brunswick, New Jersey's Doss has been navigating an ambitious stylistic intersection since 2014, blending the melodic sweep of Gothenburg-influenced death metal with the technical complexity of prog and the sheer brutality of deathcore. New Jersey's underground has always punched above its weight, and Doss exemplifies why — bands from this corridor take sonic range seriously, refusing to be pinned to a single aesthetic. The result is music that shifts registers with confidence, equally capable of a crushing chug and an arching melodic passage.
Dothbogria is a pagan/folk metal band from Daugavpils in eastern Latvia, drawing on pre-Christian Baltic mythology and folk traditions to fuel their heavy, folklore-drenched compositions. Their sound weaves traditional instruments and chanted vocals through a metal framework rooted in the ancient Latvian and Lithuanian pagan heritage.
Double Cross is a heavy metal trio from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, formed by guitarist/vocalist Alex Albernaz, bassist Thiago Brotão, and drummer Gus. Drawing inspiration from dark old-school acts such as Mercyful Fate, Venom, and Motörhead, the band released their debut EP "Obey Thy Master" in May 2020, recorded at Solo Studio in Belo Horizonte.
Double Deuce is a heavy metal band from Eksjo, Sweden, formed in 2012. The project delivers classic heavy metal from the Smaland region.
Athens, Georgia's Double Ferrari has been crafting progressive heavy metal since 2017 in one of the American South's most storied college music towns, bringing their own angular take to a city better known for indie and alternative. Their sound emphasizes the heavy end of progressive — not the noodling, ethereal variety, but music that keeps its bones in traditional metal while building structures complex enough to reward close listening. The Athens scene's inherent experimentalism seems to have worked its way into their DNA in the best possible way.
Double Homicide plays death metal from Miass in the Chelyabinsk region of the Urals, formed in 2024. Their criminal-violence name drives compositions that double down on death metal's most murderous impulses.
Double Space is a stoner/doom metal band from Aarhus, Denmark, active since 2006. With nearly two decades of activity, they are long-standing pillars of Danish stoner and doom.
