Thallium released the demo Gèvaudan, the full-length A Howling from a Thousand Years (2002), and the album Armanenschaft (2008), the latter drawing on the esoteric writings of Guido von List and citing early Polish black metal acts such as Graveland, Infernum, and Veles as primary influences.

Thanallian from Prague blend melodic gothic and folk metal within a richly imagined fictional world where nature, love, and cruelty intersect, with releases like "Between Worlds" and "The Last Arduans" building out their narrative universe.

Thanatofilia is a brutal death metal power trio from Neuquén, Argentina, consisting of Francisco Tomás Petris (guitars, vocals), Camilo Amaru Ibañez (drums, vocals), and Joaquín Mariano Villegas Amenabar (bass, vocals). The band released their debut EP, Estrangulamiento Umbilical, in October 2019, a seven-track slamming death metal statement recorded in Sala Grande, Neuquén. They were featured in MetalSucks' 2022 roundup of Argentina's most ear-splitting death and grind underground acts.
Oakland's Thanatopsis carry a storied name — the 19th-century poem meditating on death — into a death/thrash sound that has evolved from progressive roots toward leaner, more aggressive territory since forming in 2020. The Bay Area's tradition of technically proficient thrash and death metal runs through their DNA, updated with the sharp-edged intensity of Oakland's current underground.
