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.'
Tannoiser from Salò on Lake Garda deliver a punishing blend of stoner, doom, and death metal since 2018. Their town — forever associated with Mussolini's puppet republic and Pasolini's controversial film — adds layers of dark historical weight to their crushing sound.
Tantalos from Baden-Württemberg craft black metal steeped in the torment of their mythological namesake — the Greek king condemned to eternal hunger and thirst — since 2013. Their compositions channel existential suffering through atmospheric tremolo passages and relentless percussion.
Tantalus is a death metal band from Budapest, Hungary, formed in 2020. Named after the figure from Greek mythology, they deliver heavy, aggressive death metal from the Hungarian capital.
Louisville, Kentucky's Tantric emerged from the dissolution of Days of the New, with vocalist Hugo Ferreira forming the band to pursue a more polished, radio-friendly brand of post-grunge that retained the moody, atmospheric quality of his former project. Their self-titled 2001 debut produced the hit 'Breakdown,' which became a staple of early-2000s rock radio with its brooding melody and Ferreira's emotionally intense vocal delivery. Though they never fully replicated that initial commercial peak, Tantric have maintained a steady career through consistent touring and a catalog of melodic, introspective hard rock.
Tanun from Como craft black metal from the shores of the Alpine lake since 2019. Their compositions channel the dramatic mountain-and-water landscapes of Lombardy through atmospheric extremity.
Tao Menizoo from Auvers-sur-Oise — the village where Van Gogh spent his final days — deliver death and thrash metal infused with industrial elements since 2003. Over two decades from this artistic Paris suburb, they have built a unique fusion of extreme metal and mechanical aggression.
Taor is a power/thrash metal band from East Sussex, formed in 2021. Their music combines the melodic hooks and triumphant energy of power metal with the aggressive riffing and speed of thrash, delivering a high-energy fusion from southern England.
Tapa! is a death/thrash metal band from Lappeenranta, Finland, formed in 2014. Their name meaning "kill!" in Finnish, they deliver aggressive extreme metal from the southeastern border region.
