Twice the Trauma is a blackened death/grindcore band from Darlington, England, formed in 2011. They unleash a chaotic blend of black metal, brutal death metal, and grindcore with relentless extremity.
Heavy metal band from Deurne/Borsbeek in the Antwerp region, active from 1989 until their eventual split. They contributed the track 'Fallen Angel' to the Belgian metal compilation Rockin' in Flanders, one of the few documented releases from their run. A product of the late-1980s Belgian heavy metal scene, they represent the era when traditional metal was taking root in the Flemish underground.
Twilight Drifters from Berlin craft epic doom and power metal that wanders the borderlands between crushing heaviness and soaring grandeur since 2017. Their compositions navigate the twilight zone where doom's deliberate weight meets power metal's melodic ambition from the German capital.
Swedish symphonic power metal outfit Twilight Force channel Tolkien-esque fantasy through soaring vocals, orchestral arrangements, and virtuosic guitar work. Since their 2014 debut 'Tales of Ancient Prophecies,' they have become standard-bearers for the epic, bombastic side of European power metal, with albums like 'Dawn of the Dragonstar' pushing their maximalist approach even further.
Twilight Moon from Pietarsaari have been crafting black metal under the banner of the waning light since 2000, making them one of Ostrobothnia's longest-running extreme metal acts. Over a quarter century from this Swedish-speaking Finnish coastal town, they have maintained a commitment to atmospheric black metal.
Twilight of the Gods coalesced in 2010 as a Bathory tribute project before evolving into an original band, taking their name from the sixth Bathory album. The lineup assembled a collection of veterans drawn from Einherjer, Mayhem, Aura Noir, Thyrfing, and Primordial — the latter's Alan Averill serving as vocalist. Their debut Fire on the Mountain (2013) presented original material steeped in Bathory's epic Viking and heavy metal heritage rather than straightforward black metal.
Twilight Zone from Düsseldorf deliver speed and thrash metal named after the legendary TV series, channeling the strange and supernatural through rapid-fire aggression since 2022. Their Rod Serling-inspired name frames compositions of unsettling velocity from the Rhineland.
Twin Obscenity formed in Stavanger, Norway in 1991 and 1992, playing a style that blended black and death metal with Viking-era atmospheric elements. Their debut Where Light Touches None (1997) was released on Head Not Found, followed by For Blood, Honor and Soil on Century Media Records after the band signed to the label in 1998. The band released three full-length albums before disbanding.
Twisted Autocracy is a thrash metal band from Dublin, Ireland, formed in 2013. They deliver fast, aggressive thrash metal with sharp riffing and relentless energy.
