Duivel is a Dutch black metal project active since 2019, whose name — simply "devil" in Dutch — stakes out their territory with blunt directness. Their native-language identity anchors them in the growing tradition of Dutch-language black metal.
Dukatalon are an Israeli doom/sludge metal trio formed in Tel Aviv in 2007. The band draws from disparate musical backgrounds spanning chillout, country, blues, post-punk, and heavy metal, resulting in a heavier sound that gained them a place on Relapse Records. They released their debut Saved By Fear in 2009 (reissued on Relapse in 2010), and their sophomore album Involuntary Action arrived in 2020 after a lengthy recording process across multiple studios.
Duke Nukem plays blackened thrash, heavy metal, and punk from Saint Petersburg, active since 2014 and named after the iconic video game character. Their pop-culture reference drives irreverent, high-energy compositions that blend multiple aggressive genres with tongue-in-cheek attitude.
Dukh Dakomposita is a black metal band from Ukraine, formed in 2024. The project delivers dark black metal.
Dukha plays thrash metal from Stuttgart, active since 2017 and named after the Buddhist concept of suffering. Their music channels that existential dissatisfaction into aggressive, driving compositions that find catharsis in velocity and volume.
Dulcamara is a melodic death metal/metalcore band from Toledo, Spain, active since 2013. Named after the bittersweet nightshade, they blend melodic beauty with metalcore's intensity.
Dulcedo Odii is a black and death metal band from Leszno, Poland, formed in 2025. The project's Latin name, meaning 'Sweetness of Hatred,' reflects its dark extreme metal approach.
