Dygora is a death metal and hardcore band from south London, formed in 2018, styling their sound as "Southside Death." Their releases include Chambers of Reflection, Ghetto Spiritual, Find Yourself (It Was a Trap), and Southside Tapes, with active live shows across London and Cambridge.
Formed in 2019 in Apple Valley, California, Dygra delivers death metal in the classic mold — heavy riffing, aggressive vocals, and a straightforward approach that favors crushing impact over genre experimentation.
A progressive metal project from Wilmington, Massachusetts active since 2015, Dyhanna explores the genre's melodic and technical dimensions with a compositionally ambitious approach that draws on the full dynamic range between delicacy and full-throated heaviness.
Dying Age is a doom metal band from Lodz, Poland, formed in 2023. The project delivers crushing doom metal weight from central Poland.
A Collegeville, Pennsylvania death metal act formed in 2024, Dying Angel channels the old-school brutality of the genre's foundational era, favoring raw aggression and direct songwriting over modern technical showmanship.
Dying Aura is a one-man black metal project from Carinthia, Austria, led by Erech Leleth. The 2020 album Of Death, Kings and Solitude draws on Swedish black metal's melodic sensibility, layering bleak atmosphere with enough melodic relief to prevent the sound from collapsing into pure noise.
Dying Awkward Angel plays melodic death metal from Turin, pairing the genre's aggressive vocal and rhythmic foundation with emotional, soaring guitar melodies. Their evocative name — an angel dying gracelessly — hints at the tension between beauty and violence that defines their sound.
Dying Blaze is a black metal band from Kramatorsk, Ukraine, formed in 2006. One of the veteran black metal acts from the Donbas region.
San Francisco's Dying Breath launched in 2025 fusing the Bay Area's storied thrash tradition with groove metal's mid-paced, rhythmically locked riffing, occupying familiar but proven territory for the city's metal scene.
