Targost from Ebersbach in Saxony evolved from death metal origins into a thrash metal and hardcore hybrid, reflecting a restless creative drive since 2014. This stylistic transformation mirrors the broader evolution of the eastern German metal underground toward crossover aggression.
Death metal band from Brasília, formed in 2019 and composed of Victor Hormidas (guitar and vocals), Renan (guitar), Bruno Mota (bass), and Diego Promessas (drums). The band released their debut EP, Domínio Putrefato, in 2020, composing entirely in Portuguese and drawing influence from Suffocation, Deeds of Flesh, and Death.
Tartarum bring symphonic and melodic death metal from Nicosia, Cyprus, one of the few extreme metal acts on the island blending orchestral grandeur with death metal ferocity. Formed in 2018, their sound marries sweeping symphonic arrangements with aggressive vocals and technical riffing.
Tartarus Depth is a melodic death/black metal band from Athens, active since 2014. Named after the deepest pit of the Greek underworld, their music channels Hellenic mythology through the extreme aggression of melodic death and black metal.
Progressive death metal band founded in 1998 in Chur, the capital of Graubünden canton, whose debut album Once Human (2011) drew favorable comparisons to Death and Control Denied for its technical rigor and melodic intelligence. Rooted in Swedish melodic death metal, the band expanded their palette over time to incorporate progressive, jazz, and even hymnal elements without sacrificing heaviness or emotional weight. Their approach—technically demanding yet never sterile—made them one of the more distinctive acts in Swiss extreme metal.
Tattered Pages is a progressive/melodic death metal band from Birmingham, active since 2017. Their music blends the technical intricacy of progressive metal with the aggressive edge and dual-vocal dynamics of melodic death metal, rooted in England's second city and its rich heavy metal heritage.
Vienna-based Taurisca is a female-fronted melodic death/folk metal project with strong pagan and medieval influences, drawing on the ancient Taurisci culture that once inhabited the eastern Alps. Their music blends Gothenburg-influenced melodic death guitar work with folk instrumentation and lyrical themes rooted in pre-Christian Central European mythology.
Taxidermia from Avellino in Campania deliver death metal with the specimen-preserving precision their natural-history name demands since 2023. Their southern Italian base channels the art of stuffing and mounting the dead.
Taüt is a death metal band from Barcelona/Olesa de Montserrat, Spain, formed in 2021. They deliver crushing death metal from the Catalan underground.
