Formed in 2015 in Dahlonega, Georgia — a small North Georgia mountain town — Through the Eyes of Hera play deathcore that incorporates mythological imagery alongside the genre's characteristic blending of death metal brutality and metalcore breakdowns. Their location in the Appalachian foothills gives them a distinct outsider quality relative to the better-known Atlanta metal scene.
Florence, South Carolina's Through the Eyes of the Dead are one of the more enduring acts to emerge from the mid-2000s wave of technical and melodic deathcore, having operated continuously since 2005 with a sound that foregrounds surgical guitar precision and shifting dynamics within extreme metal's most brutal frameworks. Their longevity has made them a touchstone for bands navigating the space between technical death metal and deathcore.
An Apple Valley, California act formed in 2021, Through the Oculus carves out a niche in melodic death and groove metal, blending hook-driven riff structures with the brutality of death metal's lower register.
Hailing from the high-altitude isolation of Mammoth Lakes, California, Through These Gates have been forging black/death metal since 2012, combining the cold tremolo aggression of black metal with the gutting brutality of death.
Lisbon's Through Void craft doom/death metal that explores the emptiness between moments of crushing heaviness since 2024. Their name captures the vast, hollow spaces their music inhabits — compositions that balance silence and devastation in equal measure.
Through Your Silence is a melodic death metal band from Milan, active since 2008. Their contemplative name contrasts with the aggressive melodic death metal they've delivered for nearly two decades from Lombardy's capital.
Thrownaway from the small Swabian town of Ehingen blend melodic death metal with metalcore's rhythmic intensity, formed in 2025 as one of Baden-Württemberg's newest heavy acts. Their name channels the discarded and overlooked into aggressive, emotionally charged compositions.
San Francisco death metal outfit Thud Bukit formed in 2020 and have been contributing to the Bay Area's long-running tradition of brutal, technically literate death metal — a scene defined by decades of uncompromising extremity.
Thulsa Doom is a death metal band from Rome, formed in 2018. Named after the villainous sorcerer from Conan the Barbarian, their music channels that dark power through brutal death metal from the Eternal City.
