Tosiro from České Budějovice traverse the boundaries between doom, sludge, post-metal, and post-hardcore, creating a genre-fluid heaviness that has evolved considerably since their 2008 formation. Their willingness to incorporate atmospheric post-metal textures alongside crushing sludge riffs makes them one of southern Bohemia's most versatile heavy acts.
Minneapolis atmospheric black metal project Toska layers gothic atmosphere and melodic desolation over black metal's cold architecture, drawing on the Russian concept of inexpressible longing to color their emotionally dense sound.
Totaal is a raw black metal project from the UK, formed in 2020. Their music channels the most stripped-back and uncompromising form of black metal through lo-fi recordings that prioritize atmosphere and aggression over polish.
Total Agony from Vaires-sur-Marne in the eastern Paris suburbs deliver death and thrash metal with the complete, unmitigated pain their name promises since 2012. Over a decade of agonizing compositions from the Île-de-France.
Basel's Total Annihilation have been unleashing thrash/death metal fury since 2008, amassing a deep catalog that includes albums like "Mountains of Madness," "...On Chains Of Doom," and "Extinction." Their output draws on Lovecraftian horror and apocalyptic themes, delivered through tight riffing and relentless double-bass drumming.
San Jose, California's Total Badass play crossover thrash with the no-apologies irreverence the name implies, mashing punk speed with thrash riff sensibility in a style that owes as much to the skate-and-destroy ethos as to metal.
Total Brutal Terror is a death metal/grindcore band from Sagunto, Spain, formed in 2023. Their name accurately describes their sonic approach — total, brutal terror.
Total Collapse from Denmark deliver thrash metal with the catastrophic, structural-failure intensity their name promises since 2018. Their sound channels the genre's most destructive impulses into compositions of systemic demolition.
Total Consumption is a death metal/grindcore band from London, active since 2017. Their music delivers relentless blasts of extreme music that consume everything in their path with death metal brutality and grindcore velocity.
