Druantia is a Celtic folk metal band from Breda in North Brabant, active since 2013 and named after the Gaulish tree goddess.

Madison's Drucastil arrived in 2022 with raw black metal that strips the genre down to its most unforgiving essentials — lo-fi production, freezing atmosphere, and a contempt for polish that signals absolute commitment to the form's underground roots. They carry forward the raw black metal tradition with no interest in softening its edges.
Drud is a post-black metal band from Villingen-Schwenningen, Germany, formed in 2024. They explore atmospheric post-black metal from the edge of the Black Forest.
Formed in Indianapolis in 2017, Drude constructs dense, tension-filled music at the intersection of progressive metal's compositional ambition and sludge metal's weight. Their sound leans into long-form structures that shift between calculated complexity and crushing heaviness, reflecting the Midwest's tradition of bands that refuse easy genre categorization.
Druden is a German black metal act whose name references the nightmarish demon-witches of Germanic folklore. Active since 2012, they channel this mythological horror into atmospheric black metal rooted in the darkest corners of central European superstition.
Drudge is a groove/stoner metal band from Germany, formed in 2023. They deliver heavy, sludgy grooves and stoner metal riffs.
Denver's Drudgery emerged in 2022 with a sharp focus on thrash metal rooted in speed, precision, and aggression. Drawing from the classic thrash playbook, the band channels the energy of a city with a growing extreme metal scene into tightly wound riffs and relentless rhythms.
