Atmospheric pagan black/folk metal project from Gomel, Belarus, formed in 2009 by D. Sytchev and A. Romanow, who handle vocals, programming, guitar, bass, and keyboards between them. Their sound evolved from early ambient and dungeon synth influences toward a fully realized atmospheric black metal style with pagan and nature-based themes, documented on their 2015 album Зов Древних (Call of the Ancients). The project is among the few Belarusian metal acts to meaningfully incorporate folk and pagan elements into an extreme metal context.
A solo black/gothic metal project from Upper Austria that was active from 1998 to 2006, Tartosgardh released albums including "Nebelleben," "Dragonstorms," and "Seelenopfer braucht der Tod." The project has since been rebranded as SeelenPuls, with the artist continuing under that name via a new Bandcamp presence and website at seelenpuls.at.
Tarvas is a folk metal band from Jyväskylä, Finland, formed in 2018. They weave Finnish folk traditions into heavy metal from the lake district.
Taser is a progressive stoner metal band from Madrid, Spain, formed in 2018. They blend progressive structures with stoner metal's heavy grooves.
Tassma is a thrash metal band from Seville, Spain, formed in 2021. They deliver aggressive thrash metal from the Andalusian capital.
Thrash metal band from Lugano, Ticino, active from 2009 to 2013 and drawing from horror and death imagery in both sound and theme. The band later continued under the name Winds of Disease before concluding their run, leaving behind a small but committed body of underground Swiss thrash. Their Lugano origins placed them in the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland, a region with its own distinct and underappreciated metal underground.
Taste of Doom from Hersfeld in Hesse bring raw, unfiltered thrash metal aggression, formed in 2025 as one of Germany's newest thrash acts. Their name promises the apocalyptic intensity their riff-driven sound delivers.
Progressive death metal band founded in 1998 in Chur, the capital of Graubünden canton, whose debut album Once Human (2011) drew favorable comparisons to Death and Control Denied for its technical rigor and melodic intelligence. Rooted in Swedish melodic death metal, the band expanded their palette over time to incorporate progressive, jazz, and even hymnal elements without sacrificing heaviness or emotional weight. Their approach—technically demanding yet never sterile—made them one of the more distinctive acts in Swiss extreme metal.
Taste Revenge from Turin deliver progressive thrash metal with the vindictive intensity their name demands since 2009. Over fifteen years of compositions from the Piedmontese capital.
