Baltimore atmospheric black metal and ambient project Trhä emerged in 2020 as a deeply solitary exercise in icy, cavernous sound — the kind of music that feels less performed than summoned. With no fixed state listing and a minimal footprint, Trhä cultivates an air of deliberate obscurity that suits the bleakness of the style.
Tri State Corner are a boundary-crossing rock act with members from Germany, Poland, and Greece, distinguished by their innovative fusion of hard rock with the traditional Greek bouzouki. Over 600 live shows across 22 countries on three continents, the band has shared stages with Evanescence, Nightwish, and Accept, and worked with multi-platinum producers Fabio Trentini and Tony Bongiovi. Their trilogy of albums 'Historia,' 'Home,' and 'Hero' tells the band's multinational story through a unique lens of Mediterranean-inflected rock and roll.
Instrumental heavy metal duo from São Paulo, formed in 2004 by guitarist Lincoln Ladeia and drummer Wagner Krüger. The band adopted the all-instrumental format after the departure of original bassist and vocalist Thadeu Castro in 2005, and released their debut nine-track EP on April 22, 2015, recorded and produced at the John Armless Project Studio in São Paulo.
Austin black metal act Triacanthos formed in 2019, operating within a Texas scene that has quietly built a reputation for serious, unadorned extreme metal. Their name — shared with a thorned plant genus — suggests a project drawn to the jagged and unyielding, consistent with the raw aesthetic of the style.
Bellingham, Washington progressive metal act Triacs formed in 2020, sitting at the crossover between prog-rock complexity and metal heaviness that characterizes the Pacific Northwest's more cerebral heavy bands. Their Bandcamp presence positions them firmly in the DIY end of the prog-metal spectrum.
Dallas death/grind act Triage have been trading in punishing, medically-themed aggression since 2020 — their Bandcamp handle "triage666" making plain the irreverent extremity of the project. They represent the Texas scene's appetite for short, brutally efficient metal that wastes nothing and forgives nothing.
Brussels technical death metal quintet formed in 2019 by musicians from Brazil, Italy, France, and Belgium, notable for their dual-vocal attack pairing Lorena Moraes and Lou-Indigo Caspar. Their debut EP Sem Papyrvs arrived in February 2023 featuring lyrics written in a mix of ancient Greek, Latin, and modern European languages, lending the material an arcane, ritualistic weight. The band's angular riffing and polyrhythmic precision place them firmly in the modern tech-death tradition.
Trial formed in 2007 in Trollhättan, Sweden, playing traditional heavy metal rooted in the NWOBHM and classic European metal of the 1980s. The quintet built a following through a series of increasingly refined studio albums — The Primordial Temple (2011), Vessel (2015), Motherless (2017), and Feed the Fire (2022) — before signing with Metal Blade Records. Their sound emphasizes melodic riffing, clean vocals, and songwriting discipline that sets them apart from the retro-metal revival acts of the same era.
Trial by Combat is a death/thrash metal band from Santa Rosa, California, formed in 2013, delivering punishing riffs and aggressive tempos rooted in the Bay Area's extreme metal tradition.
