T.M.A. are a Prague-based thrash metal outfit formed in 2017, delivering fast, riff-heavy thrash in the tradition of the Czech Republic's strong thrash lineage. Their music draws on the aggressive energy of Bay Area and Teutonic thrash while maintaining a distinct Central European identity.
Jablanica-based quartet Tabut — formerly known as KrŠ before a 2012 name change — deal in death/thrash metal shaped by the influence of Death, Sepultura, Kreator, and Slayer. Their debut EP Iskopan Iz Tame introduced the band to the Bosnian underground circuit, with early live appearances including a bill alongside Grob at a show in Mostar.
Tai Pan from Böblingen near Stuttgart deliver sharp, aggressive thrash metal formed in 2020 in the Baden-Württemberg region of southwestern Germany. Named after the venomous king cobra, their sound strikes with the speed and precision their namesake implies.
TakaLaiton is a thrash metal/crossover band from Lappeenranta, Finland, formed in 2019. They fuse thrash metal's speed with crossover punk's energy from the Finnish-Russian border.
Take the Pain is a melodic death/thrash metal band from London, formed in 2020. Their music fuses the melodic sensibilities of Scandinavian death metal with the speed and aggression of thrash, bringing a polished yet punishing sound to the UK capital's metal scene.
Take the Trash Out from Görlitz on the German-Polish border blend thrash metal, death metal, and metalcore into an aggressive hybrid since 2013. Their location at the easternmost edge of Germany infuses their sound with a cross-border energy drawn from both German and Polish metal traditions.
Thrash metal band from São Paulo, formed in 2013 and later split up, featuring members who had previously played in Chaosfear and Scars. The band addressed themes of war, politics, and genocide in their material, operating as an independent act throughout their existence.
Tales of Grimm from the North Sea port city of Bremerhaven deliver death and thrash metal with a narrative edge, weaving dark fairy-tale imagery through aggressive compositions since 2020. Their name invokes the Brothers Grimm's darker tales, reflected in music that balances brutality with storytelling.
San Diego's Talisman forged their heavy/power metal sound in 2021, arriving with the sun-drenched energy of Southern California filtered through towering riffs and soaring melodies. They lean into the more muscular end of power metal — less symphonic flash, more fist-in-the-air conviction rooted in classic heavy metal songwriting.
