Dauþuz, pronounced “Dauthuz”, is a German black metal band that has carved a niche for itself with its focus on underground mining and the associated folklore of their home country. The band's name comes from the Old High German word for "death" and reflects the often bleak and fatalistic themes present in their music. Founded in the late 2010s, Dauþuz quickly gained attention in the black metal underground for their conceptually rich albums and atmospheric soundscapes that draw from the depths of historical mines and the lives of the miners who toiled within them.

The band's discography reads like a series of dark and evocative tales, with each release adding to their overarching narrative. With albums such as "Grubenfall 1727", which delves into a specific mining disaster, and "MONVMENTVM", an epic reflection on mining monuments and legacies, Dauþuz presents a unique blend of historical storytelling and the intense, immersive sonic environments characteristic of black metal. The release of "Vom schwarzen Schmied: Bergkgesænge" furthers this exploration, providing listeners with a richly textured auditory experience that embodies the heart of Central European mining lore. Dauþuz’s commitment to thematic depths and their detailed research into mining culture has garnered them acclaim within extreme metal circles, setting them apart as chroniclers of a subterranean world long forgotten.
