Out of Asheville's mountain mist, To Dwell in Longing craft depressive black metal steeped in misery and solitude, their 2019-formed project leaning into the rawness and anguish that defines the subgenre's most desolate corners.
Omaha's To Storm the Fortress have been shaping melodic black metal since 2010, marrying cold, atmospheric riffing with a sense of sweeping grandeur that feels incongruously vast against the flat Nebraska horizon.
Milwaukee's To the Dogs emerged in 2020 with a scrappy, vicious sound that mashes black metal's corrosive atmosphere into thrash riffs and crust punk's anarchic energy, keeping things raw and confrontational throughout.
New Jersey's To Writhe Love on Her Arms, formed in 2023, occupy an emotionally raw corner of post-black metal where shoegaze textures and atmospheric black metal converge — introspective, layered, and deliberately fragile.
Named with the menace of Cormac McCarthy's most savage characters, Eureka, California's Toadvine play black/thrash with a feral, punk-stained edge — raw, fast, and mean since their 2019 formation on the Northern California coast.
Dallas's Todeskrieger, formed in 2020, practice unadorned black metal in the most orthodox sense — cold, aggressive, and rooted in the tradition's core values of atmosphere and nihilism, operating from one of Texas's most active underground metal cities.
New Jersey's Toilet Fucker, formed in 2025, operate deep in the lo-fi raw black metal underground, recording under the trvekvlt banner with the kind of abrasive, deliberately anti-polished sound that treats fidelity as the enemy.
Salt Lake City black metal act Tomb of Belial have been operating since 2016, crafting cold and unrelenting material that draws on the genre's orthodox traditions while finding its own voice against Utah's stark landscape.
Tampa's Tomb of Ligeia blend black and death metal into a dark, menacing hybrid that fits naturally within the Florida city's celebrated extreme metal lineage, drawing on both genres' capacity for dread and violence.
