Thrash metal band from Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, formed in 2017 by guitarist duo Lucas Souza and Gabriel Theofelo alongside bassist/vocalist Matheus Prusse and drummer John Kuntze. Their debut release, the three-track EP Liberty Denied, appeared on December 12, 2017, with Theofelo handling production, mixing, and mastering.
Orange County's Thrice have spent over two decades evolving from post-hardcore firebrands into one of rock's most artistically restless and respected bands, with each album representing a deliberate stylistic leap. From the hardcore fury of 'The Illusion of Safety' through the experimental four-element concept of 'The Alchemy Index' to the atmospheric beauty of 'Horizons/East,' Dustin Kensrue's thoughtful lyricism and the band's chameleonic musicianship have attracted a fiercely devoted following. Thrice's refusal to repeat themselves, combined with their consistent live excellence, has earned them a legacy as one of post-hardcore's most important and enduring acts.
Thrill of Confusion is a sludge and stoner metal band from Reykjavík, Iceland, formed in 2022. They deliver heavy, fuzz-laden grooves and crushing sludge riffs from the volcanic island nation.
Thrima is a metalcore band from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany, formed in 2014. They deliver aggressive metalcore from the northeastern German underground.
Thrinos from Piraeus craft black metal under a Greek name meaning 'lamentation,' channeling the port city's maritime darkness since 2015. A decade of mournful compositions from Athens' harbor gateway.
Thriven from Berlin craft raw black metal that strips the genre to its most primal essence, embracing lo-fi production and visceral intensity since 2020. Their approach channels the underground ethos of the capital's vast extreme music scene through unpolished, ferocious compositions.
Brooklyn's Throaat have been one of New York City's more ferocious underground exports since 2013, mashing speed, thrash, and black metal into a filthy, relentless hybrid that strips away any pretension in favor of raw, primordial attack.
Brutal Death Metal from Corpus Christi.
Austin, Texas's Throat Piss emerged in 2023 with a deliberately confrontational name and a sound to match — experimental sludge metal colliding with hardcore punk in unpredictable, abrasive bursts drawn from the city's noise-tolerant DIY scene.
