Dawn of Disease were a Osnabrück, Germany melodic death metal band active from 2003 to 2020, producing five studio albums that combined the abrasive Swedish death metal tradition with a more modern and hook-laden melodic sensibility, drawing comparisons to Entombed and Dew-Scented. Though they disbanded in 2020 after vocalist Tomasz Wisniewski's departure, their final albums — including Worship the Grave (2016) and Procession of Ghosts (2019) — represented some of the strongest melodic death metal to emerge from the German scene, with former members subsequently forming Hiraes.
Asheville, North Carolina's Dawn of Dismality bend progressive metal's expansive tendencies into the visceral frame of death metal, yielding something genuinely restless and unpredictable. Formed in 2021, they reflect their mountain city's growing reputation for adventurous heavy music.

Anaheim's Dawn of Eternity blend melodic death metal's harmonic aggression with thrash's velocity, carving a niche in Southern California's crowded extreme scene since 2010. Their sound favors anthemic leads over pure punishment, keeping hooks at the center of even the heaviest passages.
