Traiectorivm from Cologne craft progressive metal under a Latinized name evoking the historical Roman crossing point that became their Rhineland city since 2024. Their ancient-modern tension mirrors compositions that balance progressive complexity with the weight of two millennia of Cologne's history.
Traiectum Inferius — Latin for 'lower crossing,' the Roman name for Utrecht — deliver melodic death/thrash metal rooted in their city's ancient history since 2018. The band's scholarly name belies music that prioritizes velocity and aggression over academic restraint.
Trail of Blood from Parchim in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern deliver melodic thrash metal that follows a crimson path of aggression through the northeastern German countryside since 2018. Their forensic name drives compositions that track the intersection of melody and violence.
Trail of Tears formed in Kristiansand, Norway in 1994 under the initial name Natt before adopting their current name in 1997 to reflect changes in lineup and direction. The band played a blend of gothic metal and symphonic black metal built around the contrast of soprano female vocals and male death metal growls, a pairing that defined their early work including debut Disclosure in Red (1998). Over seven studio albums released through 2013's Oscillation via Massacre Records, the band gradually shifted toward a tenor-and-growl dynamic in place of the soprano contrast. Trail of Tears disbanded in 2013 after nearly two decades of activity.
Hobbs, New Mexico's Trail of the Blood Stained God have been deploying blackened death metal from the high desert since 2011, fusing the frost-bitten savagery of black metal with the blunt-force trauma of death metal.
Frederick, Maryland's Trail of Wreckage push doom metal into experimental territory since forming in 2020, building on the genre's foundational heaviness while introducing unconventional textures and structures.
St. Cloud, Minnesota's Trailboss cut against the grain of their northern climate with sun-baked southern and stoner metal, hauling thick, fuzz-drenched riffs out of the upper Midwest since 2013.
