DSM is a death metal/deathcore band from Lorraine, France, formed in 2022. They deliver diagnostic-grade death metal and deathcore.
Formed in 2024 out of Union, New Jersey, DTA came out of the gate swinging with the kind of urgent, no-frills aggression that defined early speed metal before thrash hardened its edges. Their sound splits the difference between the breakneck tempos of classic NWOBHM-influenced speed metal and the crunchier, pit-ready riff structures of East Coast thrash. A young band with teeth already showing.
DTI emerged from Lynnwood, Washington in 2019 at the crossroads of black metal's cold atmosphere and grindcore's blunt-force intensity. Their approach fuses blast-beat brutality and punk hostility with corrosive black metal textures, a combination that has flourished in the Pacific Northwest's underground. Short, vicious, and uncompromising.
Dual-Coma is an industrial metal, metalcore, and thrash metal band from Katowice, Poland, formed in 2013. The project blends industrial intensity with metalcore and thrash from the Upper Silesian scene.
Dualisis is a progressive metal band from Brittany, France, emerging in 2025. They explore duality through progressive metal from France's Celtic coast.
Lewisville, Texas-based Duality formed in 2020 with a sound that pushes progressive and melodic death metal into ambitious, technically demanding territory. Layered song structures and melodic guitar work give their death metal a cinematic quality uncommon for a band so early in their existence. They represent the thoughtful, arrangement-conscious strand of the DFW metal underground.
Duality of Man is a sludge metal band from Brunswick in Lower Saxony, active since 2016 and exploring the tension between light and darkness through crushing, low-tuned compositions. Their philosophical name frames their heavy music as an examination of humanity's contradictory nature.
Duath is a black metal band from Poznan, Poland, formed in 2002. Named after Tolkien's dark valley, the project channels atmospheric black metal.
Duaël is a black metal band from Brittany/Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France, emerging in 2025. They deliver dueling black metal spanning two French regions.
