Tielt-based black metal band Thronum Vrondor formed in 2005 around the core of guitarist/bassist Vrondor and drummer Crygh, releasing their debut Vrondor I: Epitaph of Mass-Destruction on Goatowarex in 2006. Four albums followed — including Vrondor II: Conducting the Orchestra of Evil on Total Holocaust Records and Dies Tenebrosa Sicut Nox on Immortal Frost Productions — with the addition of vocalist SvN in 2015 broadening their dynamic range while preserving their commitment to raw, intelligent old-school black metal.
Throrne from Brighton craft black metal under a deliberately misspelled name that suggests both throne and thorn since 2020. Their Sussex seaside base provides an unlikely setting for their hostile, atmospheric compositions.
Thulan is a progressive black metal project from Italy, formed in 2022. Their name evokes the mythical northern land of Thule, channeling that icy mysticism through progressive black metal compositions.
Thulian is a raw black metal project from Jyväskylä, Finland, formed in 2021. They pursue the most stripped-down end of the black metal spectrum.
Thulnar is a symphonic black metal band from Bologna, active since 2015. Their fantastical name suits the orchestral grandeur they layer over aggressive black metal from the Emilian capital.
Thulr from the Baltic port of Kiel weave folk influences through melodic black metal, named after the Old Norse word for a wise speaker or sage since 2014. Their compositions blend the cold atmosphere of Schleswig-Holstein's North Sea coast with folk-tinged melodic passages.
Thundering Hooves from London and Bristol craft black metal with the cavalry-charge momentum their equine name demands since 2021. Their dual-city base drives compositions that gallop with unstoppable, mounted-warrior intensity.
Thuringoth craft black metal from an undisclosed British location under a name blending Thuringia with gothic darkness since 2013. Over a decade of Germanic-inflected compositions has produced atmospheric black metal with continental European character.
Thus Defiled from Worthing on the Sussex coast have been delivering black metal with the blasphemous conviction their name demands since 2003. Over two decades of defiled compositions from the English south coast makes them one of the region's longest-running black metal acts.
