Heavy metal band from São Paulo, formed in 1996, with a lineup that included vocalist Marcel Briani and guitarist Marina Takahashi. Their debut album Cold and Terrible (2004) — recorded, mixed, and mastered at Nimbus Studios and released in a pressing of 1,000 CDs on Die Hard Records — drew on influences ranging from Van Halen to Carcass, and the band later split up.
Chicago's Tiger Fight have been playing straight-down-the-middle heavy metal since 2016, the kind rooted in classic NWOBHM traditions and American hard rock grit — melodic leads, fist-pumping rhythms, and an unpretentious energy. Their Bandcamp handle (tigersfightatmidnight) leans into their theatrical, larger-than-life sensibility.
Furious Crossover / Hardcore / Thrash Metal out of Texas.
Tigerstrype is a heavy metal band from Zella-Mehlis, Germany, formed in 2014. They deliver traditional heavy metal from the Thuringian Forest region.
Vienna-based Tigerwizard combine sludge metal, crossover thrash, and hardcore into a muddy, abrasive sound that grew heavier between their 2014 demo and their 2016 album "Born to Die." That full-length, recorded at Elephantwest Audio and mixed by Nikolaus Preglau, features seven tracks of downtuned, riff-heavy material rooted firmly in the American sludge and punk traditions.
Tigguo Cobauc from Nottingham deliver sludge metal named after the medieval Anglo-Saxon name for the cave system beneath Nottingham Castle since 2021. Their local-history concept channels the literal underground beneath their city through crushing compositions.
Danbury, Connecticut's Tightrope have been plying heavy metal since 2010, operating in a traditional vein that values songwriting craft and melodic hooks without drifting into power metal excess. A decade and a half of persistence has given them a practiced, road-hardened quality rare in the regional underground.
Tigris from Leeds deliver thrash metal named after the ancient Mesopotamian river since 2014. A decade of Fertile Crescent-inspired aggression from the West Yorkshire city has channeled ancient civilization through modern thrash.
Tihi Sadist is a raw black metal act from Split, Croatia, active since 2005. Their name translating to 'Quiet Sadist' in Croatian, they deliver harsh, lo-fi black metal from the Dalmatian coast.
