Días Oscuros por Venir is a one-person project from Valentín Alsina, Buenos Aires, helmed entirely by Ignacio Elías Rosner, who handles all instruments, vocals, recording, editing, mixing, and mastering. The project released its debut album Heraldos del Final on August 14, 2024 — a nine-track, approximately 35-minute record blending crust punk and post-black metal with apocalyptic lyrical themes sung in Spanish. The album's closing track, "Destruir el Arca," runs nearly ten minutes and includes a dedication in memory of Argentine metal figure Ricardo Horacio Iorio.
Rapid City, South Dakota black metal project formed in 2020, Dísablót takes its name from a Norse sacrificial ceremony honoring the dísir — female ancestral spirits — situating the project squarely within heathen tradition.

Dod Arsdagen plays raw black metal and dark ambient from Moscow, active since 2021 and whose Scandinavian-styled name — meaning "death anniversary" — commemorates mortality through lo-fi sonic rituals. Their hybrid approach alternates between raw aggression and spectral ambience.
Dodfodd is an experimental black metal band from Borlange, Sweden, formed in 2000. One of the veteran experimental black metal acts from the Dalarna region.
Dodgaldr is a black metal band from Uppsala, Sweden, formed in 1998. One of the veteran black metal acts from the university city.
Portland, Oregon thrash and crossover band formed in 2014, Dödläge fuses d-beat's hardcore-derived rhythmic stomp with crust punk's grime and thrash metal's riff attack into an unruly but focused hybrid. Portland's fertile punk and metal underground provides the ideal foundation for this kind of genre collision.
