The Darkhorse from Northamptonshire deliver sludge and doom metal with the unexpected, underdog power their name implies since 2018. Their Midlands base channels outsider energy through crushing compositions.
The Dawn Razor from Paris deliver death metal that cuts with the sharpness of first light since 2018. Their compositions channel the dangerous beauty of dawn — where darkness meets light — through brutal aggression from the French capital.
The Day of Locusts is a progressive sludge metal band from London, active since 2015. Their music merges the cerebral complexity of progressive metal with the crushing, abrasive weight of sludge, creating dense and unpredictable compositions.
Death metal/deathcore band from Minsk, Belarus, whose Bandcamp presence documents their activity within the Belarusian capital's underground extreme metal community. Minsk hosts one of Eastern Europe's more active underground metal scenes, and the band contributes a blunt-force modern death aesthetic to that landscape. Their music blends the structural density of deathcore with the raw brutality of old-school death metal.
The Dead Dirt conjure raw black metal from an undisclosed location in Germany, formed in 2025 as one of the country's newest black metal entities. Their name evokes the grave-soil earthiness they channel through lo-fi, primal compositions.
The Dead Dogs from Naples deliver southern and sludge metal from the foot of Vesuvius since 2014. A decade of Neapolitan grit channels the city's raw energy through fuzz-drenched heaviness.
The Dead Flowers Graves from Pordenone craft doom metal exploring the burial of beauty since 2019. Their northeastern Italian base channels the death of floral innocence through crushing compositions.
Lubbock's The Dead See occupy the harsh borderland between metalcore and sludge metal, where punishing breakdowns collide with the oppressive drag and dissonance of sludge. Formed in 2007, they've spent nearly two decades refining a sound that captures the desolation of the West Texas flatlands — sparse, heavy, and relentless. Their Bandcamp presence reflects a band that has stayed true to that bleak vision without compromise.
Progressive thrash metal band from São Paulo with a lineup of Matt Gaboardi (vocals, guitar), John (guitar), Bruno Alessi (drums), and Pedro Canaan (bass). The band released the album Foi-se in December 2016, which includes the track "Nacht der Untoten."
