Thorns Inside channel raw black metal from the remote Moravian town of Rýmařov, where the isolation of the Jeseníky mountain foothills seeps into their cold, atmospheric sound. Formed in 2019, the project trades polish for primal intensity and wintry desolation.
Los Angeles blackened thrash act Thorns of Sin formed in 2015 and draws from the same Southern California tradition that produced many crossover-influenced metal acts, mixing black metal's cold malice with thrash's relentless velocity. The result is lean, aggressive, and uncompromising.
Thornscvlt is a black metal band from Hof, Germany, formed in 2018. They deliver raw, thorn-sharp black metal from the Franconian border region.
Black metal band from Araçatuba, São Paulo, active since 1999, with member Maguz Azmoth also running the Anthem Productions distro. Their debut release was the demo W.A.R: Frontline Tormentor (1999), a seven-track recording, followed that same year by a split with Ethan titled LIVE in 13th Temple of Black Gods.
One of the oldest USBM bands, active since 1993. Named after the Isengard song. Released on Werewolf Records with decades of raw, bestial output.
Thornuz is a blackened death metal band from Aachen, Germany, formed in 2015. They fuse blackened atmospherics with death metal's crushing brutality.
Thoronath is a black metal band from Hyvinkää, Finland, formed in 2012. They channel atmospheric black metal from the southern Finnish underground.
Thorondir is a Viking/black metal band from Waldsassen, Germany, formed in 2011. They blend Norse Viking themes with raw black metal aggression.
Georgia's Thos Ælla formed in 2021 and operates in the murky, aggressive territory where death and black metal collide, drawing on both traditions without fully committing to either. The Old English name signals an interest in antiquity, and their sound carries a primitive rawness that fits the aesthetic.
