Dhemag is a heavy metal band from Mexico City, Mexico, formed in 2010. The band released their debut full-length "Mr. Sinner" in 2013 and followed with "The Exorcism" in 2016. They remain active and independent as of 2024.

From Galliano, deep in Louisiana's Lafourche Parish bayou country, Dhyana have been channeling the region's eerie stillness into drone/doom metal since 2021. Their sound is slow, heavy, and hypnotic — the musical equivalent of watching dark water move under cypress trees.

Tampa's Diabolic are veterans of the Florida death metal scene, having carried their brutal, relentless approach to the genre from a 2001 formation into the present day. Rooted in the same soil that gave death metal its defining sound, they remain one of the Tampa scene's stubbornly active long-runners.

Portland, Oregon's Diabolic Oath have been conjuring black/death metal in the Pacific Northwest underground since 2018. Their sound traffics in the most merciless intersection of both genres — cavernous production, blasting tempos, and a total disregard for comfort or accessibility.

Diabolous is a doom/stoner metal band with death metal elements from Mexico City, Mexico, formed in 2012. They released a self-titled EP in 2013 and their debut full-length "Infinite Doom" in 2018. Their lyrical themes draw on horror movies and occult imagery.

New York's Diabolus arrived in 2022 with a thrash metal agenda that leaves no room for half-measures — riffs first, second, and last, built in the aggressive tradition that the state's metal scene has long sustained. Despite being a newer outfit, their approach carries the conviction of bands with far more years behind them.

Diamante is a hard-rock singer and songwriter who built her identity around bright blue visuals, big melodic hooks, and a modern radio-rock sound with pop instincts. Born in Boston and later active from Los Angeles, she gained wider attention with Coming in Hot, a debut full-length that leaned into confident hard rock, glossy production, and songs designed for immediate impact. American Dream broadened the approach with "Ghost Myself," "I Love Myself for Hating You," "Unlovable," and a widely heard version of "Iris" featuring Ben Burnley, placing Diamante near the center of contemporary female-fronted hard rock. Her music fits metal-adjacent hard-rock scope through distorted guitars, arena-rock choruses, and touring context with heavier acts, even when the writing is more melodic than aggressive. Diamante's strongest material depends on contrast: polished hooks over thick guitars, vulnerability delivered with defiance, and vocals that can move from pop clarity to rock bite. The result is accessible heavy rock built less around extremity than around attitude, resilience, and sleek dramatic lift.

Diamond Plate is a thrash metal band from Worth, Illinois, formed in 2004 while its members were still in high school. The trio — guitarist Konrad Kupiec, vocalist/bassist Jon Macak, and drummer James Nicademus — released the Mountains of Madness EP in 2008 when the average member age was 15, earning early support slots for Behemoth, Gojira, and Exodus. Their Earache Records debut Generation Why? followed in 2011, produced by Neil Kernon, and a second album Pulse arrived via Century Media/Earache in 2013 with a more jam-oriented approach.
