Thin Line from Varese and Milan deliver gothic metal exploring the razor's edge between opposing forces since 2020. Their Lombardy base channels precarious balance through dark, atmospheric compositions.
Post-black metal project from Linz, Upper Austria, Thine began as a one-man effort before expanding to perform live with additional members from 2013 onward. Their discography includes the "Demo 2015," an EP, and the album "I: Vergänglichkeit," with lyrical themes circling misanthropy and existential alienation.
Melodic thrash metal project from Carlos Barbosa, Rio Grande do Sul, founded in 2022 by Lorenzo Birolo (guitars, production), drawing on Death, Metallica, and Gojira as primary influences. The band debuted with the single "Numskull" (May 20, 2023) and has performed at local festivals including the Rock in Drio and Darknight events in Carlos Barbosa.
Thinning the Herd is a New York stoner metal band formed in 2011, leaning into the heavy riff and low-end rumble of stoner metal and rock with a sardonic name that matches the genre's dark humor traditions. Without a fixed city, they maintain a degree of mystery consistent with the underground stoner circuit.
Third Degree is a heavy metal band from Centereach, New York on Long Island, formed in 2021, drawing on traditional heavy metal's melodic and hard-hitting qualities within a suburban scene that has produced plenty of underground talent. Their sound stays close to the genre's foundational elements without overcomplicating the formula.
This Berlin, New Hampshire incarnation of Third Degree leans into power metal's soaring vocals and driving rhythms alongside classic heavy metal, formed in 2021 in one of New England's more remote corners. The cold, rugged character of northern New Hampshire makes an unlikely but apt backdrop for anthemic, high-energy metal.
Third Degree from Saint Paul, Minnesota is a melodic heavy metal and hard rock act formed in 2021, emphasizing strong hooks, clean vocals, and a polished approach to traditional heavy metal songwriting. They represent the Twin Cities' broader appetite for melodic, accessible metal with roots in the genre's classic era.
Third Dim3nsion from Aranjuez — the Spanish royal town of palaces and gardens south of Madrid — deliver power metal with the palatial grandeur their setting demands since 2014. Their leetspeak-styled name modernizes the classic European power metal tradition.
A psychedelic doom outfit from the small Wisconsin town of Hatley, Third Eye Rider pursue the hazy crossroads where stoner riffing and slow, crushing doom converge. Their sound leans into extended, fog-thick arrangements that reward patience over speed.
