Dungeon Crawler hail from the small town of Manawa, Wisconsin, where they formed in 2019 with a sound anchored in classic heavy metal riffs dragged through doom's tar-thick tempos. The isolation of rural Wisconsin seems to seep into their music, which favors atmosphere and weight over flashiness. Think midnight rituals in a Midwestern basement — heavy, deliberate, and entirely self-sufficient.
Dungeon Crypt is a one-man primitive doom/death metal project from Turnov, Czech Republic, founded in 2019 by sole member Karhat. With a prolific output spanning nine releases, the project explores prehistoric and primordial themes through crushing, lo-fi heaviness.
Atlanta's Dungeon Filth wasted no time after forming in 2021, delivering the kind of grimy, fast-and-ugly hybrid of death metal and grindcore that the name promises without apology. Georgia's extreme underground has a history of unruly, low-fi nastiness, and Dungeon Filth fit squarely in that lineage — short blasts of putrid riffage with zero interest in accessibility. Pure cavern-dwelling brutality.
Dungeon Keeper is a black metal band from Osnabrück, Germany, formed in 2023. They channel dungeon-dwelling darkness through black metal.
Dungeon Master is a sludge and doom metal band from London and Southend-on-Sea, formed in 2020. The band deliver crushing, low-tuned sludge and doom metal with an emphasis on heaviness and atmosphere.
Dungeon Mist plays raw black metal from Kazan, the Tatar capital, active since 2018 and evoking the cold fog of subterranean passages through lo-fi compositions. Their name channels the damp, forbidding atmosphere of medieval dungeons into raw, unpolished black metal.
Dungeon Sorcery is a black metal band from Vojvodina, Serbia, formed in 2025. The project channels dark and ritualistic black metal.
A Florida-based heavy metal outfit formed in 2019, Dungeon Wolf traffics in the sword-and-sorcery aesthetic that the genre's earliest architects built their legacy on — straightforward riffing, anthemic hooks, and a no-frills devotion to classic metal's primal power.
Hailing from Norfolk, Virginia, DungeonKeep has been forging traditional heavy metal since 2018, channeling the dual-guitar crunch and melodic sensibility of the genre's golden era into material that wears its influences with both pride and conviction.
