Scranton, Pennsylvania's Traverse the Abyss blend the guttural intensity of death metal with the rhythmic aggression of deathcore and metalcore, occupying the heavier end of the modern extreme metal spectrum since 2016.
New York's Travesty have been active since 1988 in the progressive and death metal space, carving out a distinctive lane that privileges technicality and compositional ambition over brute force alone.
Travma is a death/thrash metal band from Manfredonia in the province of Foggia, active since 2013. Their Russian/Turkish-influenced spelling of 'trauma' adds international flair to their death/thrash from the Gargano Peninsula.
Treacherous from Lyon deliver symphonic black and death metal with the betrayal and deception their name demands since 2013. Over a decade of treasonous compositions from France's second city has combined orchestral grandeur with extreme metal aggression.
Portland death-grind trio active since 2018, fusing the blunt brutality of grindcore with death metal heft and hardcore's confrontational attitude. Their name and approach are blunt instruments by design.
Treblinka formed near Stockholm, Sweden in 1987 as the founding vehicle for Johan Edlund, playing raw black/death metal under pseudonyms and releasing the single "Severe Abomination" in 1989. The band recorded material for an album during this period before Edlund renamed the project Tiamat in advance of their debut Sumerian Cry (1990), which incorporated reworked Treblinka compositions. As a historical entity, Treblinka represents the earliest phase of what would become one of Scandinavia's most stylistically adventurous metal bands, operating in the primitive intersection of black and death metal that defined the underground at the close of the 1980s.
Colorado Springs outfit blending death metal brutality, sludge's tar-thick low end, and grindcore's blunt violence into a dense, punishing whole since 2019. One of the heavier acts to emerge from the Colorado Springs scene.
Treedion is a progressive death/thrash metal band from Dresden, Germany, formed in 2012. They combine progressive complexity with death and thrash metal's aggression.
Tregorgones from the medieval Breton town of Tréguier deliver death metal named after the gorgons of Greek mythology, filtered through a Breton linguistic lens since 2021. Their fusion of Classical mythology with Breton identity creates a unique cultural hybrid.
