Santa Cruz, California's Traveler are devoted practitioners of traditional heavy metal, formed in 2018 with a clear passion for the melodic power and galloping riff structures of the genre's classic era.
Scranton, Pennsylvania's Traverse the Abyss blend the guttural intensity of death metal with the rhythmic aggression of deathcore and metalcore, occupying the heavier end of the modern extreme metal spectrum since 2016.
Sacramento's Traversing the Cliffs of Insanity pair their theatrical name with a heavy metal and hard rock sound formed in 2023, channeling the drama and arena-ready swagger that the name itself invites.
North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania's Travesty have been grinding out crossover thrash since 1988, making them one of the longer-surviving acts in a tradition that prizes speed, aggression, and a firm refusal to separate metal from its hardcore roots.
New York's Travesty have been active since 1988 in the progressive and death metal space, carving out a distinctive lane that privileges technicality and compositional ambition over brute force alone.
San Francisco-based solo project Travis Rinker has operated in the progressive metal world since 2011, offering a vehicle for intricate, technically ambitious guitar-driven compositions outside of any traditional band structure.
Iowa's Travistopheles is a black metal project that plays on the Mephistophelian archetype embedded in its name, channeling the genre's confrontational spirit from a state whose isolation suits the music's misanthropic character.
Travma is a death/thrash metal band from Manfredonia in the province of Foggia, active since 2013. Their Russian/Turkish-influenced spelling of 'trauma' adds international flair to their death/thrash from the Gargano Peninsula.
Atmospheric black/blackgaze project from Brest, Belarus, founded in 2016 and built around the combination of atmospheric synthesizers, guitar, and field recordings. Their extensive catalog on Bandcamp—spanning albums like The Old Fortress, Kalevala, and Sempervirens—documents a project in constant motion, drawing from nature, mythology, and personal grief. The name, a deliberate misspelling of 'trauma,' gives their emotional and textural extremity a specifically named anchor.
