Drunkards is a Bergamese thrash metal band active since 2014, delivering high-velocity riffs fueled by the rowdy, party-thrash tradition of bands like Tankard and Municipal Waste. Their umlaut-adorned name nods to the Germanic thrash metal lineage they proudly carry forward.
Dreor is a death metal band from Nottingham, formed in 2023 and rooted in old-school death metal influences including Autopsy, Obituary, Jungle Rot, and Benediction. Their releases Hell's Kitchen and The Terror Rises channel the classic sound of early 1990s death metal from the East Midlands.
DShK is a black metal band from Bologna, Italy, formed in 2021. Named after the Soviet heavy machine gun, the project channels aggressive and militant black metal.
DSKNT is a death/black metal project from Sion in the Valais canton, active since 2017 and producing some of Switzerland's most dissonant and unsettling extreme metal. Their consonant-only name strips away accessibility, much like their music strips away convention in favor of abrasive, avant-garde extremity.
Dskrtn is a black/death metal and noise project from Athens, Greece, formed in 2025. The project pushes extreme metal into abrasive noise territory at the intersection of black and death metal.
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.
