Taiga is a black/folk metal band from Tampere, Finland, active since 2008. Named after the vast boreal forest, they blend folk elements with black metal's raw intensity.
Taken by Wolves is an industrial black metal project from Nottingham, formed in 2020. Their music merges the cold aggression of black metal with the mechanical textures and electronic elements of industrial music, creating a bleak and mechanized sonic landscape.
Named after the stress-induced cardiac condition, Takotsubo emerged from Stuart, Virginia in 2015 with an experimental black metal vision as unsettling as the syndrome it references. Their music fractures orthodox black metal frameworks into something stranger and more internal — disorienting structures, unconventional textures, and an atmosphere of genuine psychological weight.
Melodic black/death metal band from the Sorocaba area of São Paulo state, formed in 2014 by songwriters Matheus Scarlate and Luis Doda. The band released their debut full-length, A Trapped Call in the Depths, on January 18, 2020, an eleven-track self-produced album; they split up in 2021.

Talven from France blend black metal with ambient soundscapes under a Finnish name meaning 'of winter,' channeling Nordic coldness through French extremity since 2019. Their cross-cultural naming convention bridges Scandinavian atmosphere with the French black metal tradition.
Talvisota is a black metal project from Finland, formed in 2014. Named after the Winter War of 1939-40, they channel wartime themes through raw black metal.
Tan Kozh from the Breton fishing port of Paimpol play pagan black metal under a Breton language name meaning 'old fire,' channeling Celtic Brittany's ancient traditions since 2024. Their use of the Breton language anchors their extreme metal firmly in the indigenous culture of France's Celtic northwest.
Tanat is a black metal band from A Coruña, Spain, formed in 2013. Named after the Breton word for fire, they deliver atmospheric black metal from the Galician coast.
