Post-black metal project from Linz, Upper Austria, Thine began as a one-man effort before expanding to perform live with additional members from 2013 onward. Their discography includes the "Demo 2015," an EP, and the album "I: Vergänglichkeit," with lyrical themes circling misanthropy and existential alienation.
Third Nail from Galicia craft black metal from the Celtic corner of northwestern Spain, their crucifixion-referencing name channeling religious transgression since 2021. The misty, Atlantic-battered Galician coast provides an atmospheric backdrop for their blasphemous extremity.
Thirdmoon formed in Linz, Austria in 1994, founded by Wolfgang Rothbauer and initially working in fast-paced melodic black metal before migrating toward melodic death metal over successive releases. Their debut Grotesque Autumnal Weepings (1997) established their sound, followed by Aquis Submersus (1999) and Bloodforsaken (2000) on Napalm Records, which shifted the band's approach toward heavier melodic death territory. After parting from Napalm, further albums appeared over subsequent years including Sworn Enemy: Heaven and Terrarum Exuviae (2018), marking a long-running career that spans multiple stylistic phases within the extreme metal spectrum.
Thirst Prayer from Milan blend black metal with grindcore's brevity since 2017. Their compositions channel desperate, parched invocation through the Italian fashion capital's extreme underground.
A Portland, Oregon black metal act founded in 2020, Thirsting Altar deal in cold, ritualistic darkness without ornamentation — straightforward in conviction but deliberate in its atmosphere of dread.
Thirsting Ampoule emerged in 2025 as a raw black/death metal project, trading in corrosive production and savage extremity that keeps both genres at their most uncompromising.
Greensboro, North Carolina's Thirteenth Witness blend the aggression of death metal with black metal's icy atmosphere and thrash metal's relentless momentum, forming a caustic and multi-pronged attack launched from the Carolina underground.
Thirty Aethyrs from Manchester craft progressive and black metal named after the thirty ethereal realms of Enochian mysticism since 2011. Over a decade of esoteric compositions from the northwest has explored each mystical plane through technically ambitious extremity.
Black metal project from Palhoça, Santa Catarina, Brazil, formed in 2019 by musician Necromantick, who performs all instruments. The band released the EP Isöken on January 12, 2020 — five tracks including "Drakens Blod," "Black Flames Rising from the Soil," and "Call of Death's Domain" — followed by the album Tales of Witchcraft in April 2020. A subsequent lineup addition brought in Darkned Werewolf alongside Necromantick.
