Tranquil Void is a melodic death metal band from Ansbach, Germany, formed in 2022. They juxtapose their peaceful name against melodic death metal's sonic intensity.
Transcending the Flesh is a deathcore band from Canterbury, Kent, active since 2014. Their music delivers punishing breakdowns and extreme aggression from a city better known for its medieval cathedral than its brutal metal scene.
Transcension is a power/melodic death metal band from Greenock, Scotland, active since 2014. Their music combines the triumphant melodies of power metal with the aggressive edge of melodic death metal from the banks of the Clyde.
Tacoma, Washington's Transcribing the Necronomicon are a death metal outfit whose name signals their obsession with occult horror — grinding, unrelenting, and drawing on Pacific Northwest underground extremity since 2017.
A New Jersey heavy metal act formed in 2018, Transgression keep it straightforward and hard-hitting, channeling classic metal energy through a modern lens without straying far from the genre's foundational aggression.
Transhuman is a progressive death metal band from Cornwall, active since 2010. Their music explores themes of technological evolution and the boundaries of human existence through technically demanding progressive death metal.
Out of Eureka on California's foggy northern coast, Transient Messiah have been delivering death metal since 2012 — a remote origin that lends their sound a certain isolation and darkness fitting for the genre's bleakest impulses.
Translunaria from Přerov fuse death metal's brutality with progressive metal's structural ambition, creating technically demanding compositions that shift between aggression and atmospheric passages since 2015. Their name evokes the cosmic and otherworldly themes that inform their progressive approach to extreme metal.
Transnational Dying Phallus from Pantin in the Paris suburbs have been delivering death metal and grindcore under one of extreme music's most provocative band names since 2001. Over two decades of boundary-pushing compositions from the Seine-Saint-Denis banlieue have established them as gloriously confrontational fixtures of the French grind underground.
