Thy Ashes from Mühlacker in Baden-Württemberg craft black metal steeped in themes of death and dissolution, channeling the finality of cremation through harsh, atmospheric compositions since 2022. Their name evokes the ritual reduction of all things to dust.
Thy Darkened Shade from Athens craft black metal with deeply esoteric, Luciferian themes since 2013. Over a decade of occult compositions from the Greek capital has established them as a significant force in the Hellenic black metal scene.
Thy Dying Light from Barrow-in-Furness craft black metal from the shipbuilding town on the tip of the Furness peninsula since 2005. Two decades of fading-light compositions from this isolated Cumbrian port — home of Britain's nuclear submarines — makes them one of northwest England's most enduring black metal acts.
Thy Weapon from Dortmund fuse black metal's atmospheric hostility with punk's raw, confrontational energy since 2018. Their Ruhr Valley base provides the industrial grit for a sound that channels both genres' outsider aggression.
ThyLord from Marseille deliver black metal with the devotional intensity their divine-master name demands since 2020. Their Mediterranean port-city base provides an unlikely setting for the cold, hostile extremity they channel.
Thyrathen from Larissa craft black metal under a name evoking ancient Greek ritual since 2021. Their Thessalian plain base channels the pre-classical heritage of central Greece through atmospheric extremity.
Thyrgrim from Moers on the lower Rhine blend black metal ferocity with pagan metal's folk-inflected grandeur since 2024. Their Norse-inspired name channels the warrior spirit of Germanic mythology through compositions from the Rhineland flatlands.
Black metal band from Tyrol, Austria, Thyrsus take their name from a mythical giant in Tyrolean legend — a figure also central to the tale of the giant Haymon. Originally active in 1998–99, the project was revived in 2018 and released two albums, "Haymon" and "Saga" (both 2020), the latter recorded between November 2018 and February 2020 at Kalthallen Studios, featuring old-school black metal with choral vocals and atmospheric passages.
Thysia is a black metal band from Cavaso del Tomba in the province of Treviso, formed in 2023. Their Greek name, meaning 'sacrifice,' channels ritual intensity through black metal from the Venetian pre-Alps.
