Columbus, Georgia's Trendkill formed in 2020 with a sound anchored in the crossover space between death and thrash metal, drawing equally from the surgical precision of technical death and the kinetic aggression of thrash. Their name nods to an era of metal that prized authenticity over trend-chasing.
Trendkiller from the tiny Hunsrück village of Hunzel play heavy metal that rebels against musical fashion, delivering uncompromising traditional metal since 2012. Their anti-trend name reflects a stubborn commitment to classic metal values from the rural Rhineland-Palatinate highlands.
Trepalium formed in Boismé, France in 2001, developing a death metal style inflected with groove, progressive structures, and jazz and blues elements that placed them within the eclectic wing of the French extreme metal scene. Their debut Through the Absurd (2004) was produced by Joe Duplantier of Gojira, establishing a connection to the broader French extreme metal network sometimes referred to as the Konosphere. Alchemik Clockwork of Disorder (2006) and XIII (2009) followed, each leaning further into the band's genre-blending approach. Trepalium remained active through 2024, over two decades of consistently unconventional extreme metal.
Trepanador is a thrash metal band from Buenos Aires whose album "Prisión Racial" (1996, released on Tribal Discos) is regarded as one of the essential records of Argentine metal. The ten-track album features songs including "Gestapo Sudaca," "Civilización o Destrucción," and the title track, and the band has remained active in the Argentine thrash scene.

Trepanated is a thrash/death metal/metalcore band from Aarhus, Denmark, formed in 2016. They combine thrash and death metal's extremity with metalcore dynamics.
Trepanation Process from Rennes deliver progressive death metal named after the ancient surgical practice of drilling holes in the skull since 2019. Their neurosurgical concept drives technically demanding compositions from the Breton capital.
Trepanator from Poitiers deliver death metal with the cranial-drilling intensity of their namesake surgical instrument since 2016. A decade of skull-boring compositions from the western French university city has produced relentless, penetrating brutality.
Thrash metal band from Salvador, Bahia, formed in 2007 with a lineup including vocalist Gil Ferreira, bassist Adriano Veiga, and guitarists Alan Botelho and Valter Musael. The band debuted with the demo Surra in 2011 and followed it with the EP Massacre Craniano, recording in both English and Portuguese. A new full-length titled Carbonize was announced in subsequent years as an independent release.
