Thelemite is a heavy metal band from Athens, formed in 2021. Named after followers of Aleister Crowley's Thelema philosophy, their music channels occult themes through classic heavy metal.
Tampa-based progressive metal project Thelmo Rego has been active since 2012, channeling the introspective, technically demanding side of progressive metal through what appears to be a solo or collaborative vehicle. Tampa's deep metal heritage — running from death metal to prog — informs the broader environment this project inhabits.
New Jersey's Them Damn Kings began as a hard rock act and evolved toward heavier traditional metal territory over time, a trajectory Metal Archives describes as a shift from "Hard Rock" to "Heavy Metal/Hard Rock." Active since 2017, they lean into classic American rock and metal sensibilities with a blunt, unpretentious attitude.
Them Falls from Hamburg deliver sludge metal with the crushing, slow-motion impact of their cascading name since 2018. Their sound channels the genre's American roots through the perpetually overcast atmosphere of Germany's largest port city.
Black metal band from Osasco, São Paulo, founded by vocalist and bassist Cláudio Monteiro in 1993. After several demos including the live-recorded Malefik (1994), the band released the 7-track EP Your Belief in 2011 through Miceli Records of the Netherlands, with a lineup that included Francisco Monteiro and Jaime Reis on guitars and Julio César on drums.
Thrash metal band from Vila Velha, Espírito Santo, active since 2011, known for mixing stoner rock into traditional thrash with hardcore and death metal undertones — a style they describe as "Black Sabbath meets Thrash." Their debut album Vislumbrate the Obvious was released on June 1, 2011 as an 11-track independent release.
Portland, Maine's Thems That Wait have been hauling slow, fuzz-drenched stoner metal out of New England since 2019, a region not typically associated with the genre but capable of channeling its bleak winters into psychedelic-tinged heaviness. Their sound gravitates toward the hazy, heavy end of the stoner rock and metal spectrum.
Themselves from Forlì deliver heavy metal with self-referential authenticity since 2014. A decade from the Romagna city channels classic metal through compositions of personal conviction.
Then Comes the Dusk from Turin craft black metal channeling the liminal hour between day and night since 2016. A decade of twilight compositions from the Piedmontese capital.
