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.
Dub War are a metal band from Newport, Wales, formed in 1993, built around vocalist Benji Webbe alongside guitarist Jeff Rose, bassist Richie Glover, and drummer Martin 'Ginge' Ford. Their fusion of heavy metal, punk, reggae rhythms, and dub effects made them early progenitors of what critics termed 'ragga metal,' and the band released two albums on Earache Records — Pain (1995) and Wrong Side of Beautiful (1996) — before disbanding in 1999. They reunited in 2014 and released Westgate Under Fire in 2022, their first album of new material in over two decades.
Dubak plays atmospheric black metal from Mikhaylovsk in Stavropol Krai, formed in 2021 and whose Russian slang name — meaning "bitter cold" — channels the freezing temperatures of winter into their atmospheric compositions. Their name's meteorological menace suits music steeped in frost.
Dubh is a black metal band from Scotland, active since 2009. The project channels raw, atmospheric black metal in the tradition of the Scottish underground.
Dubiosis is a death metal band from the Gera/Jena area of Germany, active since 2013. They play intense death metal from Thuringia's underground.
