Palm Springs, California's Titans of the Apocalypse have been delivering death metal from the desert since 2008, an unlikely outpost for extreme music that channels the arid brutality of the Coachella Valley into uncompromising heaviness.
Los Angeles' Titanskull operate at the crossroads of classic heavy metal and thrash, formed in 2019 with an ear for the kind of riff-forward, high-energy songwriting that owes as much to '80s metal's swagger as to the Bay Area's harder-hitting tradition.
Titi Niti is a grindcore band from North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, formed in 2015. They deliver chaotic, blast-beat-driven grindcore.
Titus have been forging power metal from the small East Bohemian town of Hořice since 2000, building a quarter-century legacy of melodic intensity and galloping rhythms. Their longevity in such a small town speaks to a dedicated DIY approach to European power metal.
Tiwaz Borealis is a pagan/folk metal band from Recklinghausen, Germany, formed in 2019. Named after the Norse rune of justice, they weave pagan themes and folk elements into heavy metal.
A progressive metal band from Graz, Austria, Tiyris operate as an independent act within the city's eclectic heavy music underground. Their music, available through their Bandcamp page, reflects the technical and compositional ambitions characteristic of the progressive metal genre.
One-person black metal project from Vitória da Conquista, Bahia, operated entirely by Putrefactus, who handles all instruments. The band name translates to 'rotten liquid' in the Tupi-Guarani language, and the project released two albums in 2017 — Land of the Red Wood (March 28) and Hymns to Anhangá (July 16) — both centered on Brazilian indigenous history and mythology.
Tiếc craft atmospheric black metal from an undisclosed British location under a Vietnamese word meaning 'regret' since 2022. Their cross-cultural naming convention adds unexpected Eastern melancholy to their Western black metal framework.
Tjohorr is a raw black metal band from Santiago, Chile, active on the Total Pagan Madness Prods label. The band has released two demos, Viechen (2018) and Kwáke (2023), with the former featuring track titles drawn from the indigenous Selk'nam language of Tierra del Fuego.
