Transcendent Barrier is a doom/sludge/stoner metal band from Hamminkeln, Germany, formed in 2019. They deliver crushing, multi-layered doom with sludge and stoner metal influences.
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.
Nashville's Transylvania Stud drag doom and stoner metal through the South's gothic backwoods, their fuzz-heavy riffs and swampy low-end grooves creating a sound that feels more haunted holler than Music Row.
New Haven stoner metal band formed in 2021, stacking fuzz-heavy riffs over lumbering rhythms with the unhurried confidence the name implies. Connecticut's underground scene gets a steady dose of psychedelic heaviness from these roots.
Santa Cruz, California doom and sludge trio that has been cultivating slow, toxic heaviness since 2017, combining the crushing weight of doom with stoner haze and sludge's abrasive edge. Their Bandcamp handle hints at a UK-influenced atmosphere despite their West Coast roots.
Treeshadow is a doom/stoner/sludge metal band from Madrid, Spain, formed in 2022. They combine doom, stoner, and sludge into a crushing wall of heaviness.
Tremor Ama from Creil deliver psychedelic stoner metal that shakes and loves — tremor plus the Latin 'ama' for 'love' — since 2017. Their Oise department base north of Paris provides a suburban setting for their hallucinatory, riff-driven compositions.
Triangulo Negro is a heavy psych and stoner rock trio from Rosario, Argentina, comprising Elvio Valdes on guitars, Rodrigo Ortiz on bass, and Daniel Tenaglia on drums. They released a self-titled debut album in November 2023, recorded between January 2022 and August 2023, and followed it with the sophomore full-length "El último árbol" in January 2026.
Triceratopo is a stoner/sludge metal/hardcore punk band from Ravenna/Cesena in Romagna, active since 2014. Named after the prehistoric dinosaur, their music channels ancient, lumbering power through a fusion of heavy genres.
