Tefilla, taking their name from the Hebrew word for prayer, have been delivering thrash metal from Groningen in the northern Netherlands since 2010. Their approach channels classic thrash's urgency through tight, riff-focused compositions rooted in the genre's 1980s foundations.
Raw black metal and ambient project from Switzerland, formed in 2013. Operating under the Thessa Records banner, Tehessah channels lo-fi darkness through the raw black metal underground.
Louisville's Tehillah have been weaponizing blackened death metal since 2015, drawing on Kentucky's tradition of serious, no-frills heavy music and pushing it into the pitch-black extremes. The name — Hebrew for "praise" — sits in sharp irony against their caustic sound, which finds the sacred in the most violent sonic spaces.
Tehom from Paris have been crafting doom and sludge metal since 1996 under a name referencing the primordial abyss of ancient Near Eastern mythology. Nearly three decades of abyssal heaviness from the French capital make them one of the longest-running doom acts in France.
Tehom were a melodic death metal band from San Miguel de Tucumán, Argentina, widely regarded as one of the pioneering extreme metal acts in the Tucumán province. Formed in the late 1990s, the band released a demo titled "Darkness" in 2002 and featured Gabriel Formigli on bass and vocals. They celebrated two decades of existence before eventually splitting up.
Teitan craft avant-garde black metal from the Rotterdam/Schiedam area, pushing the genre's boundaries through unconventional song structures and dissonant experimentation since 2021. Their willingness to dissolve black metal's traditional frameworks places them among the Dutch scene's more adventurous projects.
Tejo is a black metal/ambient project from Spain, formed in 2019. Named after the yew tree of Iberian folklore, they blend atmospheric black metal with ambient soundscapes.
Groningen-based Tekhton have been conjuring slow, monolithic doom metal since 2007, making them one of the northern Netherlands' most enduring purveyors of crushing heaviness. Their music prioritizes weight and atmosphere over speed, with riffs that move like tectonic plates.
Heavy/southern metal and hard rock band from Brasília, active since 2007. The band released the album Beyond the Grotesque on October 3, 2015, a nine-track record whose songs include "Burn Your Soul," "Death Rider," and "Astral Ghost."
