Three Nails is a symphonic black/death metal band from Ravanusa in the province of Agrigento, Sicily, active since 2017. Their crucifixion-referencing name channels blasphemous fury through orchestral black and death metal from rural Sicily.
Fort Wayne, Indiana outfit formed in 2018 who draw from the deep well of stoner, doom, and sludge metal, building songs around heavy, slow-rolling riffs and oppressive atmospheres that reward patience and reward volume.
Three Pound Trigger is a progressive death metal band from Kauhajoki, Finland, formed in 2014. They craft technically ambitious progressive death metal.
Westminster, California industrial thrash act formed in 2024, merging the mechanical, abrasive texture of industrial metal with thrash's forward momentum — a combination that leans into the cold, dystopian side of both genres.
Los Angeles, California thrash metal outfit formed in 2018, one of many bands keeping the flame lit in a city that played a significant role in thrash's development, delivering straight-ahead riff-driven metal under the Bandcamp handle 'jinxthreethirteen.'
Oakland, California outfit formed in 2018 who fuse stoner metal's hazy, fuzz-drenched weight with crossover thrash's punk-inflected velocity — a pairing that captures something of the Bay Area's tradition of genre-blending heaviness.
Three Years of Winter from Nottingham forge blackened thrash metal channeling the Fimbulwinter of Norse apocalypse — three consecutive winters preceding Ragnarök — since 2018. Their mythological concept drives compositions of frozen, relentless aggression from the East Midlands.
Cleveland, Ohio doom metal act formed in 2014, invoking the Wiccan principle of threefold return in both name and approach — slow, deliberate, and heavy in the manner of traditional doom, rooted in a city that has produced some of the most compelling heavy music in the Midwest.
Threenos from Athens blend heavy metal with melodic death metal, their Greek-word name meaning 'dirge' or 'lament' channeling funeral songs through aggressive compositions since 2021. Their Athenian base connects them to the ancient tradition of ritual mourning.
