Heavy metal band from Zürich, formed in 1992 and named after the mythical city of peace in Michael Moorcock's Eternal Champion stories. Between 1994 and 1999 they produced two albums and built a reputation as a formidable live act, earning support slots with Blind Guardian, Savatage, King Diamond, and W.A.S.P. The departure of founding members around the turn of the millennium brought a difficult chapter, though the band maintained a presence in the Swiss metal underground.

Tangent Plane from Berlin craft progressive heavy metal that explores geometric and mathematical themes through angular riffs and complex arrangements since 2024. Their name signals an intellectual approach to metal that favors structural precision and unconventional songwriting.
Tank is a NWOBHM/heavy metal band from London, active since 2005. Not to be confused with the original Tank featuring Algy Ward, this London outfit carries on the tradition of British heavy metal with the raw power and attitude that defined the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement.
Tannhäuser Krieg is a heavy/doom metal band from London, active since 2017, formerly known as Bad Meat.

Tarchon Fist from Bologna deliver heavy metal named after the mythological Etruscan hero since 2011. Over a decade of ancient-Italian-themed compositions from the Emilian capital has produced anthemic, historically rooted metal.

Melodic heavy metal band from Granges-Paccot in the Fribourg canton, formed in 1998 and operating as an independent act in the French-speaking part of Switzerland's metal underground. Their Bandcamp handle 'tastelessneorockabillyuk' hints at an early flirtation with rockabilly aesthetics that evolved toward more conventional heavy metal songwriting. The band has remained active for over two decades in a region better known for folk traditions than electric extremity.
Taunus from Copenhagen play heavy metal named after the German mountain range, an unusual geographical reference for a Danish band that suggests roots or inspiration drawn from continental Europe since 2020. Their traditional metal approach channels classic riffing and powerful vocals from the Danish capital.
