Dawn of Sickness (also known as D.O.S.) is a groove/death metal band from Bauru, São Paulo, Brazil, active since around 1999–2000. The independent band crafts heavy, mid-paced material centered on themes of societal decay and occultism, and maintains an active presence through their Bandcamp page and ReverbNation profile.
Fairfax, Virginia's Dawn of Sorrow trade in raw, unadorned black metal that strips the genre back to its coldest essentials. Active since 2019, they carry forward the grimness of the form without the trappings of theatricality.
Dawn of Tears is a melodic death metal band from Madrid, Spain, active since 2013. They deliver emotionally charged melodic death metal from the Spanish capital.
New Orleans has always been home to darkness, and Dawn of the Black Sun feed directly from that well with raw black metal drenched in murk and occult menace. Their 2021 formation placed them squarely at the intersection of the city's voodoo mysticism and the ugliest end of the black metal underground.
Albany, New York's Dawn of the Hero have been delivering punishing metalcore since 2010, building a reputation for live intensity in a region with deep roots in the genre. Their music leans into the anthemic end of the spectrum — big hooks behind bigger breakdowns.
Dawn of the Unleashed plays melodic death/black metal from the Freital/Dresden area in Saxony, blending Scandinavian-style melodic riffing with the raw atmosphere of black metal. Active since 2016, they channel the post-industrial landscape of eastern Germany into compositions that balance beauty and aggression.
Dawn of Time is a thrash metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden, formed in 2018. The project delivers aggressive thrash metal from the west coast.
Saint Paul's Dawn of Valor bring an earnest, anthem-driven approach to power metal that feels entirely at home in Minnesota's fiercely loyal metal community. Since 2011, they've championed the genre's most cinematic qualities — soaring vocals, sweeping melodies, and a sense of epic purpose.
Dawn of Winter is a doom metal band from the Ludwigsburg/Remseck area of Germany, formed in 2020. They craft slow, monumental doom with crushing weight and somber atmosphere.
