Trapped in Purgatory is a thrash metal band from Bristol, formed in 2020. Their music channels the relentless aggression and speed of thrash metal, contributing to Bristol's diverse and thriving heavy music scene.
Moreno Valley, California's Trapped Within Burning Machinery have been churning out slow, suffocating doom and sludge metal since 2009, combining crushing low-end weight with the caustic edge their name implies.
Trappist formed in California around 2014 as a collaborative project between Chris Dodge of Spazz and Infest, Phil Vera of Despise You and (16), and Ryan Harkins, initially as a two-piece before expanding. The band's entire thematic premise is craft beer culture, rendered through Discharge-influenced d-beat, crust punk, powerviolence, and hardcore played at punishing speeds. Their debut full-length Ancient Brewing Tactics (2018) comprised 21 tracks in 33 minutes and featured guest appearances from Tony Foresta of Municipal Waste and Steve Brooks of Torche. The project operates as a side outlet for members with extensive histories in the American hardcore underground.
Traps of Doom from Greece craft doom metal and ambient that ensnare the listener in inescapable heaviness since 2016. A decade of trap-setting compositions has produced music that holds fast and refuses to release.

Trarko from the Landes commune of Parentis-en-Born deliver technical thrash metal from the pine forests of southwestern France since 2013. Over a decade of technically demanding compositions from this small Gascon lakeside town has produced precision-engineered thrash.
