A post-metal and black metal trio from Liège formed in 2020 by members of Sonny's Heels and Face The Truth, Down to Dust blend noise-rock, hardcore, and blackened atmospherics into a sound ranging from Portrayal of Guilt intensity to Deafheaven sweep. Their 2022 EP No Room for Your Kind was produced by Tim de Gieter (Amenra), and subsequent releases Des Visages Meurtris (2023) and Cette Âme en Peine (2024) cement their position as one of Wallonia's most active experimental metal acts.
Down to Hell is a symphonic melodic black metal band from Malacky, Slovakia, formed in 2014. The project layers symphonic grandeur over melodic black metal.

Downcross is an anticosmic black metal band from Stowbtsy, Belarus, blending melodic intensity with atmospheric dungeon synth passages. Their 2024 album 'White Tower' was hailed by listeners as a monolith of black metal perfection, building on a consistent output since 2019 including 'Invertebrata.'
Downer is an American depressive black metal project that surfaced in 2018, working in the tradition of isolationist, self-lacerated black metal that views misery not as performance but as honest testimony. The project's anonymity and stateless identity are deliberate — DSBM at its most committed refuses geography, as if fixing a location would somehow limit the universality of the desolation. Cold, slow-burning, and entirely without comfort.
Downfade is a groove/stoner metal band with thrash influences from the Kiiminki/Oulu area of Finland, formed in 2019. They fade down through heavy grooves and stoner riffs.
