Collection: D-Beat

D-Beat is a relentless and aggressive subgenre of punk rock characterized by its distinctive drumbeat pattern, heavily distorted guitars, and raw, politically charged lyrics. Originating from the UK's anarcho-punk scene in the early 1980s, D-Beat quickly spread globally, influencing hardcore movements across North America, Scandinavia, and beyond. The genre's sound ranges from the crusty, apocalyptic tones of crust punk to the blistering speed of powerviolence, while incorporating elements of metal in blackened crust variants. Regional scenes have developed unique flavors, from the iconic Swedish hardcore sound to the gritty Canadian and California hardcore scenes. D-Beat's influence can be heard in various international hardcore movements, including those in Norway, Poland, Finland, Portugal, Denmark, and Korea, each adding their own cultural twist to the genre's intense, anti-establishment ethos.
