Temnein from the Nancy/Metz corridor in Lorraine deliver progressive and melodic death metal under a Greek verb meaning 'to cut' since 2014. A decade of surgically precise compositions from the eastern French borderlands has established them as a force in French prog-death.
Temor is a melodic black/death metal band from Volos, Greece, formed in 2024. Their music blends the melodic sensibilities of the Greek metal tradition with the extreme intensity of black and death metal from the port city of Magnesia.
Tempera is a melodic death/groove metal band from Pyhäjärvi, Finland, formed in 2018. They blend melodic death metal's harmonies with groove metal's rhythmic drive.
Los Angeles' Temple of Dagon have been conjuring death/thrash savagery since 2014, fusing the crust punk grit of the California underground with the skull-splitting attack of old-school death and thrash. Their Lovecraftian namesake suits music this primordial — filthy, fast, and hostile, built on riffs that feel dredged from somewhere beneath the ocean floor.
Temple of Dread is a death metal band from Spiekeroog, Germany, formed in 2019 and released through Testimony Records. Their prolific catalog — including "Blood Craving Mantras," "World Sacrifice," "Hades Unleashed," and "Verminous Sodomy" — delivers relentless, old-school death metal.
Temple of Scorn from Aarhus deliver death metal with the contemptuous fury their name demands since 2023. Their sound channels visceral aggression through Denmark's thriving Aarhus extreme metal scene.
Detroit's Temple of Void formed in spring 2013, drawing on early British doom — Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride — and old-school American death metal in the vein of Autopsy and early Death to construct their methodical, crushing sound. Their debut Of Terror and the Supernatural was reissued by Shadow Kingdom in 2015, and subsequent albums Lords of Death (2017), The World That Was (2020), and Summoning the Slayer (2022) cemented their standing in the death-doom underground. Their most recent release, The Crawl, appeared in March 2026.
Temple of Worms from Lyon deliver death metal with the decomposition-obsessed imagery their name demands since 2015. A decade of putrescent compositions from France's gastronomic capital — a delicious irony — has channeled decay into aggressive extremity.
Tempt Fate from Toulouse deliver thrash and death metal with the daredevil recklessness their name promises since 2018. Their compositions channel the defiance of destiny through aggressive metal from the Pink City of southwestern France.
