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.
Monza, IT · 2014–present · active
Temple of Dust from Monza craft psychedelic doom and stoner metal that worships at the altar of decomposition since 2014. A decade of crumbling compositions from the Lombardy city of the famous Grand Prix circuit.
Liège, BE · 2010–present · active
Liège heavy doom outfit Temple of Nothing describe their sound simply as 'Down-tempo. Heavy. Doom. Rock.' and have been applying that creed since their 2010 debut EP Lazarus. Their 2013 full-length Psalms of Solitary Self-Indulgence expanded on that foundation, earning the band a following within the European doom and sludge underground.
Helsinki, FI · 2013–present · active
Temples is a sludge/stoner/doom metal band from Helsinki, Finland, formed in 2013. They combine sludge, stoner, and doom into a crushing wall of heaviness.
Rotterdam, NL · 2013–present · active
Rotterdam's Tempter blend traditional heavy metal's melodic sensibility with doom metal's ponderous weight, occupying a middle ground between fist-raising anthems and suffocating heaviness since 2013. Their hybrid approach appeals to fans of both classic metal and the slower, heavier end of the spectrum.
London, GB · 2022–present · active
Tentachor from London craft doom metal whose compound name suggests grasping tentacles anchoring the listener in crushing heaviness since 2022. Their compositions wrap around the senses with the slow, inescapable grip of oceanic horror.
Brussels, BE · 2017–present · active
Brussels-based depressive black/doom project Ter Ziele was created by prolific Belgian multi-instrumentalist Déhà alongside lyricist and vocalist Lore as an outlet for personal darkness, releasing the full-length There Is No Useless Pain in 2017 before disbanding in 2018 with the farewell compilation Tenondergang. A distinct, unrelated Ter Ziele project formed in 2020 and has since performed at major festivals including Roadburn and Into the Grave, releasing the debut album Embodiment of Death in 2025.
