Portland, Oregon's Thonis have been delivering direct, unembellished death metal since 2016 — the city's fertile underground providing a home for a band more interested in brutality than scene politics.

Thormënt from Asturias blend power, death, and thrash metal into a versatile extreme metal package from northwestern Spain's mountainous principality since 2022. Their multi-genre approach channels the rugged Cantabrian landscape through compositions that shift between melodic grandeur and brutal aggression.
A Phoenix, Arizona death/doom act also formed in 2023, Thorn blend the suffocating weight of funeral-adjacent doom with death metal's aggression, conjuring an atmosphere as unforgiving as the desert heat.
Thorn in Flesh from Rouen deliver death metal and hardcore with the piercing, irritating intensity their biblical name — referencing Paul's affliction — demands since 2015. A decade of painful compositions from the Norman capital has produced music as unremovable as their namesake thorn.
Thornado is a melodic death metal band from the Rusko/Turku area of Finland, formed in 2012. They play melodic death metal from southwestern Finland.
Thorne from Newcastle upon Tyne have been crafting progressive death metal since 2002, making them one of the northeast's longest-running prog-death acts. Over two decades of thorn-sharp compositions from the Tyneside city.
