Heavy metal band from Zürich, formed in 1992 and named after the mythical city of peace in Michael Moorcock's Eternal Champion stories. Between 1994 and 1999 they produced two albums and built a reputation as a formidable live act, earning support slots with Blind Guardian, Savatage, King Diamond, and W.A.S.P. The departure of founding members around the turn of the millennium brought a difficult chapter, though the band maintained a presence in the Swiss metal underground.
Tangent is a heavy metal band from London, formed in 2020. Their music delivers straightforward heavy metal with a modern edge, adding to the UK capital's diverse and ever-expanding metal landscape.
Tangent Plane from Berlin craft progressive heavy metal that explores geometric and mathematical themes through angular riffs and complex arrangements since 2024. Their name signals an intellectual approach to metal that favors structural precision and unconventional songwriting.
Brooklyn-based Tanith formed in 2017, built around guitarist and vocalist Russ Tippins — also a member of NWOBHM act Satan — alongside bassist/vocalist Cindy Maynard and drummer Keith Robinson. Their debut album In Another Time (2019) on Metal Blade Records drew immediate comparisons to 1970s luminaries such as Blue Öyster Cult, Wishbone Ash, and Uriah Heep, earning cult status in the traditional heavy rock community. A second album, Voyage, followed in 2023, reinforcing their commitment to melodic, fantasy-inflected hard rock and classic metal songwriting.
Tank is a NWOBHM/heavy metal band from London, active since 2005. Not to be confused with the original Tank featuring Algy Ward, this London outfit carries on the tradition of British heavy metal with the raw power and attitude that defined the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement.
Tannhäuser Krieg is a heavy/doom metal band from London, active since 2017, formerly known as Bad Meat. Self-described as a 'street doom' outfit, their music bears witness to 'inter-dimensional warfare' through a maelstrom of heavy and doom metal, with releases like 'The King In Yellow' and 'The Wasteland Verses.'
Out of Athens, Ohio — a college town with a surprising streak of underground metal — Tarantula Downpour have been crafting heavy metal with character since 2017. They play with a grounded, no-frills intensity that reflects their small-city roots, where influence arrives late and originality fills the gaps left by isolation.
Tarchon Fist from Bologna deliver heavy metal named after the mythological Etruscan hero since 2011. Over a decade of ancient-Italian-themed compositions from the Emilian capital has produced anthemic, historically rooted metal.
Tarot from Berlin deliver power and heavy metal infused with occult and mystical imagery, forging epic compositions from the German capital since 2014. Their sound draws from the rich vein of European power metal while incorporating the esoteric themes suggested by their divinatory namesake.
