Dry Bones Army is a melodic death metal and metalcore band from Heredia, Costa Rica, active since 2010.

Dry Heave is a black/death metal and grindcore band from England, formed in 2014. The band merge the ferocity of black and death metal with grindcore's relentless blast-beat intensity.
Dry Kill Logic are a Westchester County, New York metal band whose sound sits at the more aggressive end of the late-1990s and early-2000s nu-metal wave. Formed in the mid-1990s under the name Hinge before adopting Dry Kill Logic, the band developed a style built on downtuned groove, shouted vocals, breakdown pressure, and a hardcore-informed sense of impact. The Darker Side of Nonsense introduced them to a wider audience with songs that felt heavier and more confrontational than many radio-oriented peers, while The Dead and Dreaming and Of Vengeance and Violence pushed further into metalcore and groove metal territory. Dry Kill Logic fit metal scope through riff weight, harsh vocals, pit-centered rhythms, and a catalog tied to nu metal's heavier flank. Their music works best when it is blunt and physical, using repetition and syncopation to create pressure rather than atmosphere. The band never became a mainstream household name, but for listeners drawn to the bridge between nu metal, hardcore, and early metalcore, Dry Kill Logic remain a durable example of turn-of-the-century American heaviness.
Dry My Tears is a deathcore band from Rouen, France, formed in 2019. They deliver emotional deathcore from the Norman capital.
Nevada City, California's Dry Rot has been playing death metal since 2016, drawing from the style's most direct and unadorned traditions — riff-forward, brutal, and unconcerned with modernization. Operating out of a small Northern California mountain town gives them a certain outsider quality, removed from the scene politics and trends of larger urban metal centers.
Dryaad is a black metal act from Delft, active since 2000 and named after the tree nymphs of Greek mythology. Over two decades their nature-spirit namesake has informed atmospheric black metal that draws on the natural world for inspiration and imagery.
Dryados plays symphonic black metal from Barnaul in the Altai region, active since 2017 and named after the wood nymphs of Greek mythology. Their nature-spirit name channels forest mysticism through orchestral grandeur laid over tremolo-driven black metal.
Dryas plays black metal from Portugal, active since 2020 and named after the genus of mountain plants and the cold climate period that followed the last ice age. Their botanical/geological reference points to a nature-oriented vision of black metal steeped in the earth's deep history.
