Dysnomie is a raw black metal project from Brno, Czech Republic, emerging in 2025. Their releases including "Rituální kámen" and "Stálotvar" channel lo-fi black metal intensity with a distinctly Czech underground aesthetic.
Dysoionos is a black metal band from Thessaloniki, Greece, formed in 2017. The band channel the dark intensity of Hellenic black metal in their underground releases.
Loveland, Colorado thrash metal band formed in 2020, Dysorder channels the riff-forward aggression and breakneck pace of classic thrash into a contemporary context. Situated in the Front Range scene, they bring a raw, no-frills approach to a style that rewards exactly that.
Dyspathy plays doom/sludge metal from the small town of Privolzhsk in Ivanovo Oblast, active since 2020. Their emotional-disconnect name — a lack of sympathy — channels apathy into heavy, crushingly indifferent compositions from rural central Russia.
Formed in 2014 in Bend, Oregon, Dysperium fuses black metal's harsh, windswept atmosphere with folk metal's melodic and acoustic sensibilities, carving out a sound that suits the high desert and forested Pacific Northwest. The project balances aggression with an organic, earthen quality.
Roanoke, Virginia act Dysphagic has operated since 2009 at the crossroads of technical death metal and deathcore, combining the rhythmic churn and breakdowns of the latter with the surgical riffing complexity of the former. Their long-running activity in the Virginia underground speaks to a consistent dedication to the brutal and technical end of extreme metal.
Dysphagy is a thrash metal and crossover act from the Zug/Aargau region of central Switzerland, active since 2009 and blending thrash's speed with punk's attitude. Their medical-term name — referring to difficulty swallowing — suits music that's deliberately hard to digest in the best possible way.
