Temaukel is a Chilean black metal and ambient solo project from Santiago, active since 2005 and drawing on themes rooted in ancient Chilean indigenous cultures. The project released its debut full-length "HAIN" in 2024, preceded by a string of singles including "Hijo de la roca" and "The Infinity of Numbers."

Los Angeles' Temple of Dagon have been conjuring death/thrash savagery since 2014, fusing the crust punk grit of the California underground with the skull-splitting attack of old-school death and thrash. Their Lovecraftian namesake suits music this primordial — filthy, fast, and hostile, built on riffs that feel dredged from somewhere beneath the ocean floor.

Detroit's Temple of the Fuzz Witch formed in 2017 in the shadow of a city that has been making heavy, slow music for decades, and their stoner/doom approach carries that industrial weight in every note. Electric fuzz saturates their sound from root to stem — lumbering riffs, warm distortion, and the hypnotic pull of a groove that moves like machinery.

Detroit's Temple of Void formed in spring 2013, drawing on early British doom — Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride — and old-school American death metal in the vein of Autopsy and early Death to construct their methodical, crushing sound. Their debut Of Terror and the Supernatural was reissued by Shadow Kingdom in 2015, and subsequent albums Lords of Death (2017), The World That Was (2020), and Summoning the Slayer (2022) cemented their standing in the death-doom underground. Their most recent release, The Crawl, appeared in March 2026.

Dallas heavy trio fusing drone, doom, post-rock, noise, grunge, and classic metal.

Fort Lauderdale's Tempus Fugit have been practicing technical power/thrash metal since 2014, a demanding hybrid that requires both precision and firepower in equal measure. Their South Florida origins are fitting for a band whose music buzzes with a relentless, sun-scorched energy — technically demanding riffs delivered at thrash velocity with the melodic ambition of power metal.

Tenebree is a black metal band from Talca, Chile, founded in 2014 by multi-instrumentalist Neguss, who was later joined by Tralkan, MathL, Iskandar, and Chkngr. The band released its debut full-length "Infinito honor de existencia" in 2017, followed by "Errante herejía" in 2020 through Chilean label Australis Records.

Despite the Southern-outlaw swagger of their name, Tennessee Murder Club hail from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and have been delivering straight-ahead death metal since 2011. That geographic dissonance seems intentional — there's a contrarian streak in their sound, a band playing death metal on their own terms in a city where it doesn't come easy.

Boston's Tentacle have been exploring the furthest reaches of drone/doom since 2012, a city with a rich tradition of crushing, slow-moving metal that they honor and push into more abstract territory. Their music is more ritual than song — long, pulsating walls of sound that use repetition as a tool of trance rather than laziness.
