A Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania black metal act formed in 2024, Thy Woe arrive from a city with a long and respected extreme metal history, contributing to a tradition of cold, uncompromising underground music that Pittsburgh has quietly sustained for decades. Young but deliberate, they channel the genre's misanthropic atmosphere with the bluntness implied by their name.
ThyLord from Marseille deliver black metal with the devotional intensity their divine-master name demands since 2020. Their Mediterranean port-city base provides an unlikely setting for the cold, hostile extremity they channel.
Thyrathen from Larissa craft black metal under a name evoking ancient Greek ritual since 2021. Their Thessalian plain base channels the pre-classical heritage of central Greece through atmospheric extremity.
Thyrgrim from Moers on the lower Rhine blend black metal ferocity with pagan metal's folk-inflected grandeur since 2024. Their Norse-inspired name channels the warrior spirit of Germanic mythology through compositions from the Rhineland flatlands.
Underground black metal project from Brazil, formed in 2012, deliberately maintaining a low online profile and operating as a self-financed, independent act. Their debut release Descendente Arcanjo Gabriel (March 1, 2012) is a six-track EP combining raw black metal, thrash-inflected riffs, and a punk attitude, distributed through Death to Music Productions as a name-your-price download.
Black metal band from Tyrol, Austria, Thyrsus take their name from a mythical giant in Tyrolean legend — a figure also central to the tale of the giant Haymon. Originally active in 1998–99, the project was revived in 2018 and released two albums, "Haymon" and "Saga" (both 2020), the latter recorded between November 2018 and February 2020 at Kalthallen Studios, featuring old-school black metal with choral vocals and atmospheric passages.
Thysia is a black metal band from Cavaso del Tomba in the province of Treviso, formed in 2023. Their Greek name, meaning 'sacrifice,' channels ritual intensity through black metal from the Venetian pre-Alps.
Austin's Tibetan Sky Burial fuse blackened savagery with the wide, contemplative sweep of post-metal, drawing on funerary imagery and drone-laden atmospherics. The project formed in 2020 and occupies the bleaker, more ritualistic corner of the Texas experimental underground.
Ticinum is an epic/melodic black metal band from Pavia, formed in 2023. Named after the ancient Roman name for Pavia, their music channels the city's deep history through epic and melodic black metal.
