Tij is a black metal project from Finland, formed in 2014. They deliver atmospheric black metal.
Nashville's Tijuana Goat Ride have been delivering blunt, riff-driven sludge metal since 2013, the kind that wallows in feedback and punishment rather than seeking any particular polish. Their absurdist name belies music that is genuinely punishing, anchored in the more corrosive end of the southern sludge tradition.
Asbury Park's Tiki Torture formed in 2022 playing crossover thrash that marries Jersey Shore aggression with the party-destroys-itself energy of 1980s speed punk and thrash. They keep it fast, irreverent, and deliberately rough around the edges.
Tiknazirin is a black/death metal band from Budapest, Hungary, formed in 2018. They deliver fierce extreme metal combining black metal's atmospheric intensity with death metal aggression.
Tilarids was a short-lived black metal project from Leopoldsburg, Belgium, active from 2008 to 2009, founded by Tiwaz after his departure from Tapetum Lucidum alongside collaborator Sorath. The duo rarely rehearsed, meeting only occasionally to record material that was never formally released beyond the compilation tape De Vlam Slaat In Het Vaandel, put out by Woudgilde Distro.
Allentown's Tile have been grinding out sludge-doom since 2007 with a noise-inflected intensity that earns their Bandcamp handle "tilenoise" — a grimy, feedback-soaked take on the genre that favors atmosphere built from punishment rather than melody. Their longevity speaks to a genuine commitment to the uglier end of the heavy underground.
Tulsa's Till emerged in 2020 playing black metal stripped of unnecessary embellishment — raw, cold, and rooted in the most misanthropic aspects of the genre's second-wave lineage. Operating from the Oklahoma underground, the project carries the isolation of the plains into uncompromising extreme music.
Till Death from Thessaloniki deliver thrash metal with the mortal commitment their name demands since 2022. Their compositions channel lifelong aggression from Greece's northern capital.
Till Die is a technical thrash metal band with groove influences from Cesena/Forlì, formed in 2020. Their uncompromising name matches the relentless intensity of their technical thrash from Romagna.
