Taak is a doom metal band from Tallinn, Estonia, formed in 2019. They deliver crushing doom metal from the Estonian capital.
Los Angeles outfit Taarkus emerged in 2016 at the crossroads of doom and progressive metal, threading heavy, slow-burning riffs through elaborate arrangements that reward patient listeners. Named after the ELP album, they carry that spirit of ambition into the doom underground — crushing low-end weight balanced against exploratory song structures that push well beyond standard genre constraints.
Formed in Frederick, Maryland in 2025, Taartaros arrive fully formed at the bleakest convergence of black, death, and doom metal — a suffocating trifecta that trades no one style for another. Their sound is early and uncompromising, built on cold dissonance and funeral-pace heaviness laced with the caustic edge of death metal aggression.
An Austrian doom/drone/sludge metal outfit operating under the name Unholy Tabernakel, the band craft slow, crushing compositions that draw from the heaviest end of the drone and sludge traditions. They remain an independent, underground act with a limited but dedicated following in the European heavy music scene.
Tahdoton is a death/doom metal band from Ulvila, Finland, formed in 2020. Their name meaning "will-less" in Finnish, they deliver crushing, despairing death/doom.
Taipan from Meiningen in Thuringia craft doom metal that draws from the oppressive weight and slow-burning intensity of the genre's European masters, formed in 2021. Their sound mirrors the somber, grey atmosphere of the Thuringian highlands with crushing, deliberate riffs.
Takezo is a sludge/doom metal band from Kuopio, Finland, formed in 2019. Named after the legendary samurai, they deliver crushing sludge and doom from eastern Finland.
Tales of a Liquid Dawn is a progressive/stoner/doom metal band from England, formed in 2022. Their music weaves together the expansive song structures of progressive metal with the heavy, riff-driven approach of stoner doom, creating immersive and cerebral compositions.
Tangible Void is an atmospheric black/doom metal one-man project from London, active since 2012. Described as a hobby project inspired by black metal and modern doom, their 2012 release 'Halfway Through The Nowhere' features extended compositions steeped in melancholy and existential darkness.
