Swiss thrash and power metal band from Brig, formed in late 2016, whose name means 'wolf' in an ancient east-Indian language. Their debut wOLFbURN (2017) delivers uncompromising, fast, and technically playful metal driven by songwriter Rolf 'Rodo' Studer.
Thole is a sludge/doom metal band from Athens, active since 2017. Their name, an archaic English word meaning 'to endure suffering,' captures the patient heaviness of their sludge-laden doom.
A Pennsylvania atmospheric black metal project formed in 2022, Tholin pursue the introspective and expansive side of the genre — dense walls of tremolo and texture serving as vessels for longing and desolation.
Berkeley, California's Tholus have been developing their progressive death metal vision since 2007, fusing technical death metal's precision with progressive music's compositional ambition in a Bay Area scene with plenty of both traditions to draw from.
Thomas Bressel from the Norman towns of Saint-Lô and Caen is a solo progressive, neoclassical metal, and jazz fusion project, blending classical virtuosity with metal intensity since 2006. Nearly two decades of multi-genre composition from Normandy have produced a unique fusion of conservatory technique and heavy music.
Thomas Giles is the solo project of Tommy Giles Rogers Jr., vocalist and keyboardist for progressive metal band Between the Buried and Me, who has used the alias to explore territory incompatible with his main band's aesthetic. Pulse (2011) on Metal Blade Records launched the project formally, followed by Modern Noise (2014), Velcro Kid (2016), and Don't Touch the Outside (2018), each drawing on electronic music, synth-pop, and experimental rock over increasingly pure departures from metal. Rogers has described the project as a space for material that cannot fit within Between the Buried and Me, giving it a deliberately open-ended, genre-agnostic character.
Named after cinema's most infamous Texan, Ocala, Florida's Thomas Hewitt deal in sludge and doom metal — murky, down-tuned, and heavy enough to flatten furniture, with the rural dread their namesake implies.
Burbank, California's Thomas Warner is a solo melodic death metal project that has been active since 2013, channeling the genre's Scandinavian influences through a Southern California lens with carefully crafted arrangements.
Thomsen is a heavy/power metal band from Isernhagen, Germany, formed in 2011. They deliver classic German power metal with soaring vocals and twin-guitar attack.
