A Portland, Oregon black metal act founded in 2020, Thirsting Altar deal in cold, ritualistic darkness without ornamentation — straightforward in conviction but deliberate in its atmosphere of dread.
Thirsting Ampoule emerged in 2025 as a raw black/death metal project, trading in corrosive production and savage extremity that keeps both genres at their most uncompromising.
Thirteen Bled Promises from Madrid deliver deathcore with the visceral, blood-soaked imagery their name evokes since 2010. Over a decade and a half of activity from the Spanish capital, they have honed their approach to breakdown-driven brutality.
Thirteen Wars is a thrash metal band from Eisenach/Mihla, Germany, formed in 2011. They play aggressive, riff-driven thrash metal from the Thuringian underground.
Greensboro, North Carolina's Thirteenth Witness blend the aggression of death metal with black metal's icy atmosphere and thrash metal's relentless momentum, forming a caustic and multi-pronged attack launched from the Carolina underground.
Thirty Aethyrs from Manchester craft progressive and black metal named after the thirty ethereal realms of Enochian mysticism since 2011. Over a decade of esoteric compositions from the northwest has explored each mystical plane through technically ambitious extremity.
Thirty Fates is a heavy metal band from Larissa, formed in 2021. Their music delivers classic heavy metal from the Thessalian capital, drawing from the mythological concept of fate central to Greek culture.
Black metal project from Palhoça, Santa Catarina, Brazil, formed in 2019 by musician Necromantick, who performs all instruments. The band released the EP Isöken on January 12, 2020 — five tracks including "Drakens Blod," "Black Flames Rising from the Soil," and "Call of Death's Domain" — followed by the album Tales of Witchcraft in April 2020. A subsequent lineup addition brought in Darkned Werewolf alongside Necromantick.
Out of Columbia, South Carolina since 2014, This Above All combine melodic death metal's harmonic sensibility with the punishing breakdowns of metalcore, crafting a sound that's both emotionally charged and physically heavy.
