Tiburón Peregrino is an instrumental extreme metal project from San Miguel, Buenos Aires, founded in 2017 by multi-instrumentalist Rodrigo "Calo" Calónico.

Ticket to Hell is a Thrash/Death/Black Metal band from Santiago de Querétaro, Querétaro, active since 2006. The band released their debut full-length Man Made Paradise in 2008, followed by Operation: Crash Course in 2010, a thrash-driven record mixing death and black metal aggression around themes of world chaos. They remain active and independent.
Brooklyn's Tidal Bore arrived in 2022 with a sound that smears death metal aggression across a sludge-coated frame, favoring punishing tempos that occasionally collapse into murky, caustic slowdowns. They capture the abrasive confrontationalism of the current NYC underground.

Tidejord blend melodic doom and post-metal under a Danish name meaning 'tidal earth,' creating expansive compositions that ebb and flow like the Nordic seas since 2023. Their sound captures the vast, oceanic quality of Scandinavian post-metal.
San Diego's Tideless weave death-doom density with shoegaze texture, producing a sound that's simultaneously crushing and immersive — churning riffs suspended in reverberant haze. The band has been refining this submerged aesthetic since forming in 2016.
Providence's Tides trade in atmospheric sludge and post-metal, building slow-burning compositions that favor emotional weight over brute force. Since 2014 the band has cultivated a sound rooted in dynamic tension, moving between quiet dread and dense, wall-of-sound crescendos.
