Torpor is a sludge/doom/post-metal band from London, active since 2015. Their music builds from the heaviest depths of sludge and doom into the atmospheric dynamics of post-metal, creating immersive and physically overwhelming sonic experiences.
Tosiro from České Budějovice traverse the boundaries between doom, sludge, post-metal, and post-hardcore, creating a genre-fluid heaviness that has evolved considerably since their 2008 formation. Their willingness to incorporate atmospheric post-metal textures alongside crushing sludge riffs makes them one of southern Bohemia's most versatile heavy acts.
Toundra is an atmospheric post-metal/rock band from Madrid, Spain, active since 2009. They craft expansive, cinematic instrumental post-metal and post-rock from the Spanish capital.
Transcomar is a sludge/post-metal band from Bochum, Germany, formed in 2023. They blend sludge metal's abrasive weight with post-metal's atmospheric expansiveness.
Transhumance is a Swiss instrumental doom duo of Jo Transhume and Manu Le Bé, crafting crushing riff-driven compositions without vocals across releases like "Blood Therapy" and their self-titled "II." Their sound pairs monolithic doom heaviness with a tongue-in-cheek Swiss identity, citing raclette and wine alongside depression as creative fuel.
Frederick, Maryland's Trap Ratt are a very young sludge/post-metal act formed in 2024, dragging heavy atmospheric texture through slow, distorted riffing and building the kind of oppressive post-metal architecture that rewards patient listening.
Tregul is an atmospheric doom and post-metal band from Los Niches, Curicó, Chile. The band released their debut full-length, Sol negro, in 2025 as an independent act on Metal Archives.
Tribe of Ghosts is an industrial/post-metal/rock band from Brighton, formed in 2022. Their music fuses the mechanical textures of industrial music with the atmospheric dynamics of post-metal, creating haunting soundscapes from England's south coast.
Tryals is a progressive sludge and post-metal band from Sheffield, England, formed in 2012. They weave together stoner grooves, sludge heaviness, and expansive progressive arrangements into dynamic, textured compositions.
