Talion from Halberstadt in Saxony-Anhalt deliver death metal and deathcore with punishing breakdowns and guttural ferocity since 2019. Their sound combines the technical brutality of modern death metal with deathcore's rhythmic heaviness from the heart of former East Germany.
San Diego's Talisman forged their heavy/power metal sound in 2021, arriving with the sun-drenched energy of Southern California filtered through towering riffs and soaring melodies. They lean into the more muscular end of power metal — less symphonic flash, more fist-in-the-air conviction rooted in classic heavy metal songwriting.
Tallah formed in Pennsylvania in 2017, co-founded by drummer Max Portnoy (son of Mike Portnoy) and guitarist Derrick Schneider, with vocalist Justin Bonitz joining in 2018. Signed to Earache Records, the band released the concept album Matriphagy in 2020, blending nu-metal and metalcore influences drawn from Slipknot, Korn, and Linkin Park, followed by The Generation of Danger (2022) and Primeval: Obsession // Detachment (2025). Portnoy received the Modern Drummer Award for Best Up and Coming Drummer in 2019.
Southern metal and hardcore band from São Paulo, formed in 2013, with a lineup of Marcelo Smile on vocals, Jair Rosa and Thiago Profício on guitars, Hellvz Bernardes on bass, and Iuri Barboni on drums. The band released their debut album, Apologia à Ostentação do Nada, in April 2013, a ten-track record recorded at Estúdio Pedrada and made available for free download through Bandcamp.
Melodic black/death metal band from the Sorocaba area of São Paulo state, formed in 2014 by songwriters Matheus Scarlate and Luis Doda. The band released their debut full-length, A Trapped Call in the Depths, on January 18, 2020, an eleven-track self-produced album; they split up in 2021.
Talv is an atmospheric black metal project from Milan, Italy, formed in 2014. They create immersive, layered black metal with rich atmospheric textures and contemplative depth.
Talven from France blend black metal with ambient soundscapes under a Finnish name meaning 'of winter,' channeling Nordic coldness through French extremity since 2019. Their cross-cultural naming convention bridges Scandinavian atmosphere with the French black metal tradition.
Talvienkeli from Lyon craft symphonic metal under a Finnish name meaning 'winter's angel,' bringing Nordic-inspired grandeur to their Rhône-Alpes base since 2014. A decade of celestially-themed compositions has established their unique Franco-Finnish sonic identity.
Talvihauta is a melodic death/heavy metal band from Lohja, Finland, formed in 2022. Their name meaning "winter grave" in Finnish, they blend melodic death metal with heavy metal foundations.
