Dunkelhain is an Austrian depressive black metal project whose 2007 demo Verlassenheit established a sparse, bleak sound built around lo-fi production and suffocating atmosphere. The band later evolved into Les Fleurs du Mal, but left behind a small body of work that fits squarely into the DSBM underground.
Dunkell Reiter is a thrash metal band from Contagem, Minas Gerais, Brazil, formed in 1997, whose name is a play on the German for "dark rider." The band plays old-school, aggressive thrash in the tradition of Brazilian forebears like Chakal and Sepultura, and have released a series of recordings including their debut full-length Unholy Grave (2014) and the subsequent albums Slaves of Terror (2019) and Endless Agony (2022).
Dunkelmyr is a black metal band from Lund, Sweden, formed in 2021. The project channels dark black metal from the university city.

Dunkeltod plays black metal from Russia, formed in 2022 and whose German name — meaning "dark death" — signals an allegiance to the Teutonic black metal tradition. Their Germanic naming convention bridges Russian and central European extreme metal aesthetics.
A Berkeley, California project active since 2013, Dunnock operates in the harshest margins of raw black metal and noise, crafting lo-fi, abrasive recordings that prioritize atmosphere and primitive menace over production polish.
