Dvota is a death, groove, and progressive metal band from Bratislava, Slovakia, formed in 2022. The project blends multiple metal styles from the Slovak capital.
DVP Project plays industrial groove metal from the Netherlands, active since 2020 and fusing mechanical rhythms with heavy, syncopated riffing. Their industrial-project format pairs electronic textures with the physical weight of groove metal.
Dvplo plays death metal from the Horst/Lottum area of Limburg, active since 2009 and delivering focused, uncompromising extreme metal from the southeastern Dutch borderlands. Their long tenure in the Limburgish underground speaks to a persistent dedication to death metal's punishing craft.
DVRK is a French deathcore and nu-metal band formed in 2019. The band fuses deathcore breakdowns with nu-metal grooves and bass music electronics, signed to Season of Mist and releasing their debut EP Infinite Reminiscence in June 2024. The six-track release tackles themes of addiction, depression, and loss, and features collaborations with vocalists from Conquer Divide and Chunk No Captain Chunk.
Dvshegvb plays black/death metal from Saint Petersburg, formed in 2025 and whose consonant-heavy name strips away readability much as their music strips away convention. Their deliberately unpronounceable name matches the dissonant hostility of their extreme metal.
DVVAD is a death/black metal band from Szeged, Hungary, formed in 2018. The band merge the ferocity of death metal with the atmospheric darkness of black metal.
Santa Cruz, California's Dvvell emerged in 2022 with a sound rooted in the heaviest end of sludge and doom — plodding tempos, down-tuned guitar tone, and a suffocating atmosphere that rewards patience from the listener.
Dwaal is a post-metal and sludge metal band from Oslo, Norway, formed in 2024. The project crafts atmospheric post-metal soundscapes with sludge metal's crushing weight.
Dwail is a thrash/groove metal band from Toulouse, France, active since 2014. They deliver heavy grooves and thrash from southwestern France.
