Tiamat formed near Stockholm, Sweden in 1987 under the original name Treblinka, playing raw black/death metal before renaming after the Babylonian deity and releasing their debut Sumerian Cry in 1990. Under the direction of guitarist and vocalist Johan Edlund, the band underwent a series of dramatic stylistic transformations: Clouds (1992) introduced gothic influences into their death-doom foundation, and Wildhoney (1994) is widely regarded as a landmark of progressive and atmospheric doom metal that earned the band festival slots at Dynamo and Wacken. Later albums including A Deeper Kind of Slumber (1997) and Judas Christ (2002) moved toward gothic rock and alternative sounds. Tiamat are recognized as pioneers of both gothic metal and atmospheric death metal.
Thrash metal band from Eisenstadt, Burgenland, Tiananmen were formed in July 1987 and became one of Austria's earliest thrash acts, contributing tracks to compilations including "America Is Waiting" (1996) via Whorehouse Music. The band split after an active run through the late 1980s and 1990s, then saw a revival in 2021.

Tiberium from London deliver thrash metal named after the fictional extraterrestrial crystal from the Command & Conquer game franchise since 2024. Their alien-mineral name drives compositions of sharp, crystalline aggression from the British capital.
Tiberius from Edinburgh craft progressive metal named after the Roman emperor since 2015. A decade of imperial compositions from Scotland's capital has produced ambitious, historically informed progressive arrangements.
Austin's Tibetan Sky Burial fuse blackened savagery with the wide, contemplative sweep of post-metal, drawing on funerary imagery and drone-laden atmospherics. The project formed in 2020 and occupies the bleaker, more ritualistic corner of the Texas experimental underground.
Swiss death metal veterans Tiburón have been active since 1994, building a substantial discography that includes conceptual albums like "4'496'500'000 Mission Neptune" and "5'906'376'000 Mission Pluto," exploring cosmic and sci-fi themes through crushing brutality. Their catalog spans over a dozen releases from their base in Zofingen, blending technical precision with interplanetary concept work.
Tiburón Peregrino is an instrumental extreme metal project from San Miguel, Buenos Aires, founded in 2017 by multi-instrumentalist Rodrigo "Calo" Calónico. The project is named after the basking shark and channels its oceanic theme across a prolific catalog, including "La fosa de las Marianas" (October 2017), "MEG" (July 2018), and "Forever gran tiburón" (March 2019). Calónico handles guitars and drum programming, having released over fifteen studio albums as of the band's documented output.
