Portland's Thrown blend heavy, doom, and speed metal into a genre-crossing assault born in 2017, channeling the darkness of traditional doom against the kinetic drive of speed metal in a way that feels distinctly Pacific Northwest.
Atlanta's Thrumm emerged in 2022 with a slow-burning stoner-doom approach, layering fuzz-heavy guitar work and meditative tempos into the kind of suffocating, low-end-saturated sound the city's underground has long nurtured.
Washington state's Thud have been stirring doom, thrash, and stoner influences into a combustible mix since 2016, their Bandcamp presence under the name Songs for Children suggesting a sardonic sensibility beneath the genre-blending heaviness.
Thumos, active since 2018, work the intersection of progressive doom and post-metal with a measured, philosophical approach — their name drawn from the classical Greek concept of spirited passion — building expansive compositions that reward patient listening.
Sabbath-worship heavy psych doom formed in 2018. Released multiple albums through Ripple Music including the live album 'Dead Alive in Texas'.
Boston doom metal outfit Thunderbear have been grinding out slow, heavy-handed dirges since 2016, adding a New England stoicism to the genre's familiar landscape of crushing tempos and thick, distorted guitar tones.
Richmond, Virginia's Thunderchief have been working the doom-sludge axis since 2015, their music heavy with the kind of mid-paced, feedback-drenched menace that the region's underground consistently produces with little fanfare and considerable force.
Gainesville, Florida's Thunderclap have been delivering doom-soaked sludge metal since 2014, their music carrying the oppressive heat and heaviness that seems to seep naturally out of Florida's fringes into some of the country's most unrelenting heavy music.
Formed in 2023 in Tomah, Wisconsin, Thundergoat operate in the stoner-doom space with a fuzz-heavy, plodding style that draws on the genre's ritualistic qualities — a newly minted entry in the Midwest's quietly growing heavy underground.
