The Deathisodes is a melodic death metal band from Portsmouth, active since 2012. Their music channels the Gothenburg-influenced melodic death metal tradition through a British lens, delivering melodic guitar harmonies alongside aggressive vocals from England's historic naval port.
The Declawed is a melodic death metal band from Kotka, Finland, formed in 2012. They play melodic death metal from the southeastern Finnish coast.
The Deep Blue is a stoner/doom metal band from Margate on the Kent coast, formed in 2021. Their oceanic name suits their heavy, drowning riffs and slow-burning doom, drawing from the seaside atmosphere of the Thames Estuary.
Psychedelic Heavy / Stoner Metal from Houston.
The Denial from Altamura near Bari deliver death and thrash metal from the city famous for its ancient bread since 2018. Their compositions channel the refusal to submit through aggressive extremity from Puglia.
Michigan's The Deniers arrived in 2022 playing straight-ahead thrash metal with no concessions to modernity — fast picking, aggressive vocals, and riffs built to destroy. Though the specific city is unknown, their Bandcamp presence makes clear they came to thrash, channeling the unfiltered energy of the genre's earliest days. In an era of genre fusion and atmospheric detours, The Deniers cut straight to the bone.
The Derian's Sigh is a melodic death metal band from Mexico, formed in 2019. The band released their debut full-length, Hollow Heart, in 2019 as an independent act.
Brand new out of Bloomington, Indiana in 2025, The Devil Let Us arrive fully formed in the molten intersection of stoner, groove, and sludge metal — slow, massive, and unrepentantly heavy. Bloomington's college-town atmosphere has long nurtured experimental heavy music, and this band channels that spirit into something seismic and groove-laden. The triple threat of stoner fuzz, groove metal's locked-in pocket, and sludge's abrasive drag makes for a deeply physical listening experience.
Dayton, Ohio's The Devil Wears Prada brought a cinematic grandeur to metalcore that few peers could match, from the orchestral bombast of 'With Roots Above and Branches Below' to the atmospheric concept album 'Space EP.' Mike Hranica's ferocious screams paired with Jeremy DePoyster's clean vocals created a dynamic template, and their evolution through 'Color Decay' and 'The Act' has shown a band continually pushing beyond metalcore's boundaries.
