Frauenfeld, CH · 2013–present · active
Swiss doom metal band from Frauenfeld, Thurgau, whose releases include the album To Embrace Forlorn and a split with Azrael titled Dark Are the Veils of Death. Their recorded output situates them within the tradition of European funeral and traditional doom metal, with a focus on slow tempos, oppressive atmosphere, and deeply melancholic compositions. The band operates in the quieter corners of Switzerland's otherwise thrash-dominated metal history.
Vienna, AT · 2014–present · active
Vienna sludge/doom trio TarLung formed in 2013 and have since built a credible European heavy music resume, sharing stages with EyeHateGod, Crowbar, and Acid King. Across four full-length albums — including "Beyond the Black Pyramid," "Architect," and "Axis Mundi" (2026, Argonauta Records) — and a split EP with noise-rock band KRPL, they deliver pulverizing, slow-motion riffs anchored in the American sludge tradition.
York, GB · 2002–present · active
Tear Gas and Plate Glass was a sludge/doom metal band from York, active from 2002 to 2007, founded by brothers Matthew and Nathan Dick.

Helsinki, FI · 2022–present · active
Tectonic Shifts is a stoner/doom metal band from Helsinki, Finland, formed in 2022. They deliver seismic, earth-shaking stoner doom.
Cork, IE · 2018–present · active
Teetheater is a doom/drone metal project from Cork, Ireland, formed in 2018. They create slow, crushing sonic landscapes that merge doom's weight with drone's hypnotic, sustained intensity.
Paris, FR · 1996–present · active
Tehom from Paris have been crafting doom and sludge metal since 1996 under a name referencing the primordial abyss of ancient Near Eastern mythology. Nearly three decades of abyssal heaviness from the French capital make them one of the longest-running doom acts in France.
Groningen, NL · 2007–present · active
Groningen-based Tekhton have been conjuring slow, monolithic doom metal since 2007, making them one of the northern Netherlands' most enduring purveyors of crushing heaviness. Their music prioritizes weight and atmosphere over speed, with riffs that move like tectonic plates.
York, GB · 2022–present · active
Teleost is a stoner/drone/doom metal band from York, formed in 2022. Named after the largest group of bony fishes, their music plumbs the depths of low-end heaviness through droning, glacially-paced doom with stoner metal's fuzz-laden warmth.
Antwerp Province, BE · 2020–present · active
Temenos were a death/doom metal duo from Antwerp Province, Belgium, formed in 2001, consisting of multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Richard Cork and drummer Colin Sharman. The pair had previously collaborated in the 1970s band Caduceus and reunited after roughly three decades to explore slow, heavy music across a series of studio albums before eventually splitting.
