Dying Spirit is a technical death metal band from Pila, Poland, formed in 2016. The project delivers technically precise death metal from the Greater Poland region.
Dying Star plays atmospheric/post-black metal from Saint Petersburg, active since 2021 and channeling stellar death into expansive, reverb-drenched compositions. Their cosmic-decay name frames each song as a eulogy for a collapsing sun.
Dying Sun plays black metal from Russia, active since 2008 and channeling the slow extinction of solar light into nearly two decades of atmospheric compositions. Their name's cosmic finality pervades music steeped in terminal darkness.
Dying Sun Mourning plays death/doom metal from Tambov in central Russia, active since 2013. Their elegiac name — mourning a dying sun — drives compositions of crushing weight and profound sorrow from the Russian Black Earth region.
Dying Vision is a melodic blackened death metal band from London, formed in 2014 by Richard Ashton. Their discography includes Univerself (2014), The Death and Its Slaughter (2020), and a third full-length in production, blending symphonic black metal with death metal across atmospheric, extended compositions.
Dying Wish is a melodic death metal band from Bourgoin-Jallieu, France, formed in 2018. They deliver emotive melodic death metal from the Isère region.
Dying Wizard is a doom metal and neofolk solo project from Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland, styled as "a solitary mage hailing from the darkest dungeon in medieval Carrickfergus Castle." Their releases include the self-titled debut, Undergrowth, Cauldron, and Artefact, all crafted under the banner of "doom for a dark folk nation."
DyingBreed is a death metal band from São Leopoldo, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The band released their album "Under a Black Sun" in 2018 through Black Hole Productions, a record recorded at Black Stork Studio and drawing comparisons to Brazilian death metal acts such as Krisiun and Rebaellium.
Dyinghost plays melodic death metal and metalcore from Saint Petersburg, active since 2015 and channeling spectral dissolution through melodic aggression. Their fading-apparition name suits music that moves between the corporeal violence of metalcore and the ethereal beauty of melodeath.
