Dragdown is a thrash/death metal band from Liege in Wallonia, active since 2018 and pulling listeners into their vortex of aggressive, riff-heavy extreme metal. Their forceful name matches a sound designed to overwhelm through sheer velocity and weight.
Dragens Fange plays experimental black metal from Moscow, active since 2010 and whose Norse-derived name — meaning "the dragon's prisoner" — channels captivity and mythological menace into boundary-pushing compositions. Their experimental approach treats black metal as a foundation for sonic exploration.
Dragged is a sludge/doom metal band from Germany, formed in 2020. They create heavy, oppressive sludge and doom metal.
Dragnet is a death metal and grindcore band from Florence, Italy, formed in 2019. The project delivers raw grinding death metal from the Tuscan underground.
Dragon Blanc is a black metal band from Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France, formed in 2015. Their name meaning 'white dragon,' they play mythical black metal from southwestern France.
Dragon Feeder emerged from Chicago in 2013 playing the kind of stoner metal that sits as comfortably alongside heavy psych rock as it does doom — slow, fuzz-drenched, and more interested in a hypnotic groove than in obliterating the listener. The city's dense, hardscrabble energy seeps into their riffs, which carry more grit than the sunbaked stoner acts of the American Southwest.
Dragon Lord is a power/speed metal band from Pamplona, Spain, formed in 2021. They deliver high-speed power metal from the ancient Navarrese capital.
Dragon Throne is an epic heavy/power metal band from Äänekoski, Finland, formed in 2022. They deliver royal, epic heavy and power metal.
