Ticinum is an epic/melodic black metal band from Pavia, formed in 2023. Named after the ancient Roman name for Pavia, their music channels the city's deep history through epic and melodic black metal.
Ticket to Hell is a Thrash/Death/Black Metal band from Santiago de Querétaro, Querétaro, active since 2006. The band released their debut full-length Man Made Paradise in 2008, followed by Operation: Crash Course in 2010, a thrash-driven record mixing death and black metal aggression around themes of world chaos. They remain active and independent.
Brooklyn's Tidal Bore arrived in 2022 with a sound that smears death metal aggression across a sludge-coated frame, favoring punishing tempos that occasionally collapse into murky, caustic slowdowns. They capture the abrasive confrontationalism of the current NYC underground.
Tidal Dreams from Athens deliver heavy and power metal that ebbs and flows with oceanic grandeur since 2012. Over a decade of compositions from the Greek capital channels the Aegean's tidal rhythms through melodic metal.
Tidejord blend melodic doom and post-metal under a Danish name meaning 'tidal earth,' creating expansive compositions that ebb and flow like the Nordic seas since 2023. Their sound captures the vast, oceanic quality of Scandinavian post-metal.
San Diego's Tideless weave death-doom density with shoegaze texture, producing a sound that's simultaneously crushing and immersive — churning riffs suspended in reverberant haze. The band has been refining this submerged aesthetic since forming in 2016.
Providence's Tides trade in atmospheric sludge and post-metal, building slow-burning compositions that favor emotional weight over brute force. Since 2014 the band has cultivated a sound rooted in dynamic tension, moving between quiet dread and dense, wall-of-sound crescendos.
Chicago's Tides Cult formed in 2019 at the collision of black metal's cold ferocity and hardcore's blunt-force urgency, generating a sound that's caustic and kinetic in equal measure. They're part of a broader Chicago wave pushing extreme metal into rawer, more confrontational territory.
Pittsburgh's Tides of Accretion lean into the slow and sepulchral, pairing doom metal's deliberate decay with death metal's tonal darkness for music that feels geological in its patience and mass. The project formed in 2020 and reflects Pittsburgh's long affection for heavy, underground extremity.
