Drawn from Ichor is a sludge, industrial, and death metal band from Sheffield, formed in 2016. Their prolific output includes Forgotten Architecture, Dimensions of Empire, Void Vessel, Manifesting Chaos, and Up into the Wolf's Jaw, as well as a split demo with Rituals in Oscillation.
Drawn In is a crossover thrash band from Birmingham, England, formed in 2013. The project merges thrash metal's velocity with punk energy from the West Midlands scene.
Formed in Mechelen in June 2013, Drawn Into Descent play atmospheric black metal that draws equally from post-rock and doom metal, with prominent melodic lead guitars and a sorrowful, melancholic vibe running through their three albums. Signed to Immortal Frost Productions, the band released The Endless Endeavour in 2019 via Avantgarde Music and their third record Onrust in February 2026, which marks a heavier and more aggressive direction without abandoning their signature emotional depth.
Draxhan is a progressive/post-metal band from Bordeaux, France, formed in 2023. They explore progressive and post-metal territories from southwestern France.
Drayvarg plays symphonic black metal with folk influences from Kurgan in western Siberia, active since 2014. Their multi-genre approach layers folk instrumentation and orchestral keyboards over aggressive black metal foundations, creating compositions that span from rural folk to cosmic symphonic extremity.
Out of Pittsburgh since 2005, Drazen forge their sound at the collision point of thrash and death metal, delivering the kind of aggressive, riff-forward music that made both genres dangerous in the first place. They carry the blue-collar intensity of their city into every track — straightforward in attack, unrelenting in execution. Two decades into their run they remain a reliable fixture of the Pittsburgh underground and a testament to the staying power of metal that doesn't overcomplicate its violence.
Draiocht is an atmospheric black metal band from Wexford, Ireland, formed in 2012. The band craft sweeping atmospheric black metal inspired by Irish landscapes and mythology.
Dread Crops is a one-person atmospheric and experimental black metal project from London, created by yaoel in 2024. Their debut demo features four tracks of ambient-tinged black metal with occult and mythological themes, including titles like Return to Thee, Wizard and Expropriating the Godhead.
Baldwin Park's Dread Party have been making a chaotic mess of Southern California's grindcore scene since 2016, delivering the short, savage bursts of noise and fury the genre demands with a sardonic edge baked into their very name. Their sound hits hard and fast, treating brevity as a weapon and leaving no room for anything as indulgent as a hook. In a genre built on volume and velocity, they excel by keeping every second purposeful.
