Florida black metal band formed in 2025, taking their name from H.P. Lovecraft's cosmic mythology and channeling that sense of ancient, unknowable dread into their early material.
Tsjuder formed in Oslo, Norway in 1993 and developed a raw, high-velocity approach to black metal informed by the second-wave Norwegian scene's most aggressive tendencies. Their debut Kill for Satan (2000) and third album Desert Northern Hell (2004), released on Season of Mist, are regarded as high points of orthodox Norwegian black metal from that decade. After a split from 2006 to 2011, the band reunited and released three further albums, most recently Helvegr in 2023.
Tsond from Normandy craft black metal from the historic region of Viking settlement since 2009. Over fifteen years of atmospheric extremity from the same land the Norsemen once conquered has produced compositions steeped in the region's dark heritage.
California atmospheric black metal project formed in 2025, building vast, expansive soundscapes from cold tremolo-picked guitar and sweeping ambience in the genre's most meditative tradition.
Atlanta, Georgia act formed in 2020, fusing black metal's corrosive tremolo assault with the confrontational aggression of hardcore punk — a combination central to the blackened hardcore movement gaining traction in the American underground.
Tuathail is a raw black metal project from England, active since 2011. The act channels primitive, lo-fi black metal with an unpolished aesthetic and bleak atmosphere.
Black metal band from Madison, Wisconsin, formed in 2017 and taking their name from the biblical figure of ancient metalworking, applying that mythological weight to a raw and uncompromising black metal sound.
Tuhka from Oulu craft black metal under the Finnish word for 'ash,' channeling the aftermath of conflagration since 2020. Their incendiary name captures the charred, post-apocalyptic atmosphere of their northern Finnish compositions.
Tuhonsiemen from Jyväskylä deliver black metal whose Finnish name — meaning 'seed of destruction' — channels apocalyptic themes since 2016. A decade of destructive potential from central Finland has produced compositions of devastating, germinal darkness.
