Stolberg (Aachen)'s TrueFalse explore progressive metal and rock from the German-Belgian border area since 2023. Their paradoxical name captures the duality at the heart of their compositions — music that simultaneously affirms and questions, building complex structures from contradictory impulses.
Melodic thrash metal band from Detroit, Michigan, formed in 2020, delivering aggressive riffing tempered with melodic sensibility in the tradition of the genre's more hook-driven practitioners.
Trueno is a heavy metal band from Móstoles, Spain, active since 2006. Their name meaning "thunder," they deliver thunderous heavy metal from the Madrid underground.
Truffle is a heavy metal band from Portsmouth, England, rooted in the NWOBHM tradition since 2000. They channel the galloping riffs and raw energy of classic early-1980s British heavy metal.
Truie from Bayonne deliver brutal death and black metal under the French word for 'sow,' channeling porcine savagery from the Basque Country border since 2023. Their deliberately crude name drives compositions of unrefined, bestial aggression.
Dallas, Texas death metal outfit active since 2013, grinding out no-frills brutality rooted in the direct, punishing tradition of American death metal.
Sludge metal band from Lansdale, Pennsylvania, formed in 2014, built on slow, crushing riffs and the corrosive sonic weight characteristic of the genre.
Trust from Nanterre deliver heavy metal and hard rock that evolved toward mainstream rock, having rebuilt their sound since their 1998 reformation. One of France's most recognized metal-adjacent acts, their Parisian suburb base has been home to decades of anthemic, politically charged compositions.
Melodic heavy metal band from Garanhuns, Pernambuco, formed in late 2012 by guitarist Diego de Carvalho and vocalist Jéssica Ouro Preto alongside bassist Dorgival Souza, guitarist Ronailton Santos, and drummer Ivanildo Marcolino. The band released the three-track EP Thousand Voices in 2015, recorded at Alpha Studio in Garanhuns, as their first official release.
