A New Jersey heavy metal act formed in 2018, Transgression keep it straightforward and hard-hitting, channeling classic metal energy through a modern lens without straying far from the genre's foundational aggression.
Fredericksburg, Virginia's Transgression take a sharper, faster approach — thrash and speed metal delivered with raw edge and plenty of headbanging momentum, carrying the torch of classic American thrash in the mid-Atlantic.
please update this band
Transhuman is a progressive death metal band from Cornwall, active since 2010. Their music explores themes of technological evolution and the boundaries of human existence through technically demanding progressive death metal.
Transhumance is a Swiss instrumental doom duo of Jo Transhume and Manu Le Bé, crafting crushing riff-driven compositions without vocals across releases like "Blood Therapy" and their self-titled "II." Their sound pairs monolithic doom heaviness with a tongue-in-cheek Swiss identity, citing raclette and wine alongside depression as creative fuel.
Out of Eureka on California's foggy northern coast, Transient Messiah have been delivering death metal since 2012 — a remote origin that lends their sound a certain isolation and darkness fitting for the genre's bleakest impulses.
Formed in 2014 in Innsbruck, Transilvania play black/thrash metal with a distinctly vampiric and occult atmosphere that incorporates first-wave black metal influences alongside the thrash template — citing Root and Tormentor as touchstones. Signed to Invictus Productions, their extensive catalog includes albums such as "Of Sleep and Death," "Morbid Majesty," and the 2026 release "Magia Posthuma," establishing them as one of the most prolific acts in the Austrian extreme underground.
Translunaria from Přerov fuse death metal's brutality with progressive metal's structural ambition, creating technically demanding compositions that shift between aggression and atmospheric passages since 2015. Their name evokes the cosmic and otherworldly themes that inform their progressive approach to extreme metal.
Transnational Dying Phallus from Pantin in the Paris suburbs have been delivering death metal and grindcore under one of extreme music's most provocative band names since 2001. Over two decades of boundary-pushing compositions from the Seine-Saint-Denis banlieue have established them as gloriously confrontational fixtures of the French grind underground.
