Tartarus Depth is a melodic death/black metal band from Athens, active since 2014. Named after the deepest pit of the Greek underworld, their music channels Hellenic mythology through the extreme aggression of melodic death and black metal.
Atmospheric pagan black/folk metal project from Gomel, Belarus, formed in 2009 by D. Sytchev and A. Romanow, who handle vocals, programming, guitar, bass, and keyboards between them. Their sound evolved from early ambient and dungeon synth influences toward a fully realized atmospheric black metal style with pagan and nature-based themes, documented on their 2015 album Зов Древних (Call of the Ancients). The project is among the few Belarusian metal acts to meaningfully incorporate folk and pagan elements into an extreme metal context.
A solo black/gothic metal project from Upper Austria that was active from 1998 to 2006, Tartosgardh released albums including "Nebelleben," "Dragonstorms," and "Seelenopfer braucht der Tod." The project has since been rebranded as SeelenPuls, with the artist continuing under that name via a new Bandcamp presence and website at seelenpuls.at.
Tatir is a pagan black metal band from Athens, formed in 2023. Their music channels pre-Christian spiritual traditions through the raw aggression and atmospheric depth of pagan black metal.
Tattva from Nouvelle-Aquitaine craft black metal under a Sanskrit philosophical term meaning 'thatness' or 'reality,' bringing Eastern metaphysics to French extremity since 2020. Their spiritual name frames compositions that explore the nature of existence through atmospheric black metal.
Tatzelwurm from the small Allier commune of Neuilly-le-Réal craft black metal named after the legendary serpentine creature of Alpine folklore since 2020. Their cryptozoological namesake — the 'claw-worm' of mountain mythology — drives compositions of ancient, reptilian menace from rural central France.
Occult black metal band formed in early 2022 by members of Swiss/Norwegian acts including Aara, Forgotten Tomb, Porta Nigra, and Thron, with the band's name meaning 'sorcery' in Proto-Germanic. Their debut album Therizo—released October 13, 2023 on Debemur Morti Productions—delivers 41 minutes of old-school second-wave black metal rooted in the Norwegian tradition but laced with the melodic atmosphere of the Swiss Alpine scene. Recorded across Norway and Switzerland and mixed at The Empty Hall Studio, Therizo was widely praised as a mandatory entry in contemporary occult black metal.
Black metal band from Vevey, Vaud, formed in 2018 and named after the ancient Roman settlement that once stood on the shore of Lake Geneva near present-day Vevey. Their 2023 EP Mémoires, recorded during the winter in Vevey, draws on Swiss legends, folk tales, and local history as lyrical and atmospheric source material. The quintet—Julian on vocals, Bertrand and Patrick on guitars, Achille on bass, and David on drums—brings a distinctly regional identity to an otherwise globally homogenized genre.
Tauval from Verona craft black metal from the city of Romeo and Juliet since 2019. Their compositions channel the darker undercurrents of the Veneto through atmospheric compositions.
