Banja Luka sludge outfit Tanker coalesced in 2008 as a side-project drawing members from local acts Monument, Revolt, and AntiDope. Their 2010 debut EP Sorrow Drives the Will laid out a heavy, riff-driven approach and the band built a reputation performing across the Balkans in the years that followed.
Tankgewehr is a death/black metal band from Barcelona, Spain, formed in 2025. Named after the German WWI anti-tank rifle, they deliver heavy-caliber extreme metal.
Tankobot from Cologne deliver mechanized thrash metal fury with a tongue-in-cheek robotic concept, grinding through aggressive riffs and high-velocity drumming since 2015. Their industrial-tinged thrash approach channels the Rhineland's manufacturing heritage through a sci-fi lens.
Tannhäuser Krieg is a heavy/doom metal band from London, active since 2017, formerly known as Bad Meat. Self-described as a 'street doom' outfit, their music bears witness to 'inter-dimensional warfare' through a maelstrom of heavy and doom metal, with releases like 'The King In Yellow' and 'The Wasteland Verses.'
Tannoiser from Salò on Lake Garda deliver a punishing blend of stoner, doom, and death metal since 2018. Their town — forever associated with Mussolini's puppet republic and Pasolini's controversial film — adds layers of dark historical weight to their crushing sound.
Tantalos from Baden-Württemberg craft black metal steeped in the torment of their mythological namesake — the Greek king condemned to eternal hunger and thirst — since 2013. Their compositions channel existential suffering through atmospheric tremolo passages and relentless percussion.
Tantalus is a death metal band from Budapest, Hungary, formed in 2020. Named after the figure from Greek mythology, they deliver heavy, aggressive death metal from the Hungarian capital.
Louisville, Kentucky's Tantric emerged from the dissolution of Days of the New, with vocalist Hugo Ferreira forming the band to pursue a more polished, radio-friendly brand of post-grunge that retained the moody, atmospheric quality of his former project. Their self-titled 2001 debut produced the hit 'Breakdown,' which became a staple of early-2000s rock radio with its brooding melody and Ferreira's emotionally intense vocal delivery. Though they never fully replicated that initial commercial peak, Tantric have maintained a steady career through consistent touring and a catalog of melodic, introspective hard rock.
Tanun from Como craft black metal from the shores of the Alpine lake since 2019. Their compositions channel the dramatic mountain-and-water landscapes of Lombardy through atmospheric extremity.
