I'm pretty sure Immortal does. And Pantera -- though not on every album.

+++++1.

Everything Vader did up to Revelations was in D.

Behemoth also used D in Satanica and Thelema.6.

Immortal is regular D on the last album, not drop D, it's just that some dude made a tab of one song in Drop D but it's actually much easier in regular D, which is what Abbath used.

Oh yeah, Terrorizer(greatest grindcore band period) and early 90's Napalm Death is in D. Manowar use D on some songs, in case you like them.

Also: Decrepit Birth, Kreator, and I think Sodom use D now.

Monstrosity
Dies Irae (featuring members of Vader)

The Haunted's first 2 albums were in Eb, One Kill Wonder was in D, and didn't they go down to C or C# after that? I kinda lost interest about then anyways...

cheers then man, combined we pretty much listed every good band that tunes to D

you know i always used to play in d but i got sick of it and switched to C# the other day. its amazing what a half step does, allows you to play along with all sorts of stuff you cant in D (other malevolent creation, gorguts, new vader, behemoth)

dont forget to switch it up man

Fuck man, such a ridiculously large amount of bands tune to D standard, I'd say B standard and D standard are the two most popular guitar tunings. I can't even begin to list the huge amount of bands which use the tuning, but i'll list a couple not mentioned here so far.

Disavowed
Arsebreed
Agiel
Internal Bleeding
Beneath the Massacre (technically true, but on 7 string guitars)
Decrepit Birth
Aborted

hell there's more... These bands listed are just death metal for chrissake. Have fun.

I know yattering was mentioned earlier the early stuff is in D but the "Genocide" album was tuned to something ridiculously low you would have to check my tab for "Schism" to find out i would but i can't be assed.

Anyway for bands in D only one i can think of that hasn't been mentioned is Gorerotted.

They do, but they used to play with 7-stringers and tune a half step down, so the 6th string would be Eb. It's still a half step down, but the lowest string is F# or something. Hubba hubba heavy tone!

Not F#, but A#, same 7 string tuning that Morbid Angel and Behemoth use.

What Slayer songs are in D?

I thought they only used E (first 2 albums, played live in Eb since '86), Eb, and C# (the heavier shit like Gemini)

Yeah, I know the Bb thing, but I meant with the 8-string guitars.

As far as Slayer playing in D, I don't know of any songs. They used to always play in Eb (though their earliest might have been standard), introducing C# into the mix around the beginning of the Bostaph era, right? Then, on GHUA, there were all sorts of tunings I think, between six and seven stringers.

You could always play with some Black Album/Load/Reload stuff -- a few of those are in D.

Going from memory a few years ago... I'm pretty sure Quo Vadis use D. As otehrs say, you have Death and Decapitated's first two albums, what more could you wish for
