Twilight Moon from Pietarsaari have been crafting black metal under the banner of the waning light since 2000, making them one of Ostrobothnia's longest-running extreme metal acts.

Twilight of the Gods coalesced in 2010 as a Bathory tribute project before evolving into an original band, taking their name from the sixth Bathory album. The lineup assembled a collection of veterans drawn from Einherjer, Mayhem, Aura Noir, Thyrfing, and Primordial — the latter's Alan Averill serving as vocalist. Their debut Fire on the Mountain (2013) presented original material steeped in Bathory's epic Viking and heavy metal heritage rather than straightforward black metal.
Twin Obscenity formed in Stavanger, Norway in 1991 and 1992, playing a style that blended black and death metal with Viking-era atmospheric elements. Their debut Where Light Touches None (1997) was released on Head Not Found, followed by For Blood, Honor and Soil on Century Media Records after the band signed to the label in 1998. The band released three full-length albums before disbanding.
Twin Scar is a black/doom metal band from Cincinnati, Ohio, formed in 2025, combining the icy malevolence of black metal with the glacial, despairing tempos of doom metal into a dark and suffocating sound.
Two More Opioids is a depressive black metal project from Manchester, England, formed in 2024. The act channels bleak, harrowing atmospheres through raw depressive black metal.
