Tempered is a thrash metal band from Glasgow, Scotland, active since 2019. Their music delivers fierce thrash from Scotland's largest city, contributing to Glasgow's growing reputation as a hub for aggressive metal.
Technical and progressive thrash metal band from Switzerland, active since the early 2010s. Their sound has evolved from intricate thrash into hard rock territory, with a history of live performances across Swiss venues.
Los Angeles' Temple of Dagon have been conjuring death/thrash savagery since 2014, fusing the crust punk grit of the California underground with the skull-splitting attack of old-school death and thrash. Their Lovecraftian namesake suits music this primordial — filthy, fast, and hostile, built on riffs that feel dredged from somewhere beneath the ocean floor.
Tempt Fate from Toulouse deliver thrash and death metal with the daredevil recklessness their name promises since 2018. Their compositions channel the defiance of destiny through aggressive metal from the Pink City of southwestern France.
Fort Lauderdale's Tempus Fugit have been practicing technical power/thrash metal since 2014, a demanding hybrid that requires both precision and firepower in equal measure. Their South Florida origins are fitting for a band whose music buzzes with a relentless, sun-scorched energy — technically demanding riffs delivered at thrash velocity with the melodic ambition of power metal.
Heavy/thrash metal trio from the Zürich area of Switzerland, delivering old-school riff-driven aggression. Their discography includes the Demo 2020, Stormreaper, and the Süddenly... release.
Thrash metal band from Steinen in the canton of Schwyz, Switzerland. Part of the Swiss thrash scene, they deliver aggressive riff-based metal from the heart of central Switzerland.
Tenebrha from Cremona deliver thrash metal from the city of Stradivarius — masters of fine craftsmanship — since 2019. Their Latin-derived darkness name contrasts with the light of their Lombardy violin-capital setting.
Tenet was a Canadian thrash metal side project assembled in 1996 by Jed Simon of Strapping Young Lad around an exceptional cast of genre veterans, including guitarist Glen Alvelais (Forbidden), bassist Byron Stroud (Fear Factory), drummer Gene Hoglan (Death, Dark Angel), and vocalist Steve 'Zetro' Souza (Exodus). The project released a single album, Sovereign (2009), which combined Bay Area thrash aggression with death metal brutality before the members returned to their primary projects. Though short-lived, Tenet is notable for the caliber of its contributors.
