Deinonychus is a doom metal ensemble originating from the Netherlands, established in 1992 by Marco Kehren. The group maintains a notable association with the German act Bethlehem: Kehren provided vocal performances on multiple Bethlehem records, and in 2005, Bethlehem's bassist and lyricist Jürgen Bartsch became a member of Deinonychus. On the initial three albums and early demo recordings compiled as After the Rain Falls...An Empty Sky Remains, Kehren handled all instrumental and vocal duties alone. The 1999 album titled Deinonychus featured drummer William Sarginson from Cradle of Filth, while 2002's Mournument was produced with a complete band lineup. The band ceased activities in September 2008.
Currently, Marco Kehren leads the martial industrial music project known as Nihil Novi Sub Sole.
In 2016, Deinonychus reassembled with a refreshed roster consisting of Marco Kehren (guitars, bass, vocals), Steve Wolz (drums), and Markus Stock (keyboards). Their album Ode to Acts of Murder, Dystopia and Suicide was released globally via My Kingdom Music in October 2017.
