A Tempered Heart is a gothic metal and rock band from Barcelona, Spain, formed in 2012, blending gothic metal's dark atmospherics with rock's melodic accessibility. The band operates from one of Spain's most vibrant music cities, contributing to the Catalan gothic metal tradition.
Chicago deathcore project that borrows its name from the Lone Star State despite operating from the Windy City. Southern death rites rendered in crushing breakdowns.
Oakland death metal project. The name's body count matches the Bay Area's reputation for uncompromising extremity.
A Thousand Reasons has channeled death and thrash metal from the northeastern Italian city of Pordenone since 2010. Nestled between the Alps and the Adriatic, their Friulian base provides an unexpectedly fertile setting for their aggressive dual-genre assault.
Santa Cruz, California melodic death metal project. Biblical language channeled through Scandinavian-influenced riffing from the coastal redwoods.
A Thousand Sufferings are a four-piece from Sint-Amands, Belgium, formed by veterans of Verloren, Vex, and other Belgian projects, who describe their mission as "combining black and doom metal to bring you the ultimate experience of discomfort and misery." Albums including Het Pact, Stilte, and Bleakness document a project committed to slow, suffocating heaviness and the emotional extremity that fusing these two subgenres can produce.
A Thousand Winters brings folk metal from Alessandria in Piedmont since 2015, their name conjuring millennia of harsh seasons in the Po Valley. Their compositions weave folk instrumentation through a metal framework, drawing from the deep well of northern Italian and broader European folklore.
Florida death metal project. The Sunshine State breeding another act committed to maximum sonic damage.
A Throat Slit channels death and black metal from Skellefteå in northern Sweden since 2024. Their viscerally violent name drives compositions of uncompromising extremity from this Norrland coastal city.
