Thrash metal band from São Paulo, formed in 2013 and later split up, featuring members who had previously played in Chaosfear and Scars. The band addressed themes of war, politics, and genocide in their material, operating as an independent act throughout their existence.
Named after the stress-induced cardiac condition, Takotsubo emerged from Stuart, Virginia in 2015 with an experimental black metal vision as unsettling as the syndrome it references. Their music fractures orthodox black metal frameworks into something stranger and more internal — disorienting structures, unconventional textures, and an atmosphere of genuine psychological weight.
Talas formed in Buffalo, New York in 1974 as a regional power trio anchored by bassist Billy Sheehan, whose virtuosic technique drew widespread attention when the band opened thirty shows for Van Halen in 1980. The band released a self-titled debut in 1979 and several independent records including Sink Your Teeth into That (1982) and the live album Live Speed on Ice (1983) before Sheehan departed in 1985 to join David Lee Roth's band. In 2022, Sheehan reunited with former Talas members to record 1985, an album of material written during the band's final lineup era.

Tales of a Liquid Dawn is a progressive/stoner/doom metal band from England, formed in 2022. Their music weaves together the expansive song structures of progressive metal with the heavy, riff-driven approach of stoner doom, creating immersive and cerebral compositions.
Tales of Autumn is a heavy metal/hard rock band from Brighton on England's south coast, formed in 2018. Their music draws from the classic heavy metal and hard rock traditions, delivering hook-driven songs with the energy and swagger befitting their seaside home.
Tales of Blood from Paris deliver death metal with the narrative, crimson-stained intensity their storytelling name demands since 2002. Over two decades from the French capital, they have become one of the longer-running acts in the Parisian death metal underground.
