A New York black/thrash outfit formed in 2014, Tornádoe wields the caustic energy of first-wave black metal against a thrash backbone — primitive, fast, and deliberately abrasive.
A West Virginia melodic black metal project formed in 2013, Torrid Husk balances atmospheric melody with the raw intensity of black metal, hailing from a state with a sparse but committed underground scene.
An Austin, Texas raw black metal act formed in 2022, Torture embraces lo-fi production and primitive aggression — deliberately corrosive and antagonistic in the tradition of underground USBM's most unpolished factions.
Concord, California's Torture Chamber has been active since 1998, making them one of the longer-running black metal acts from the Bay Area's underground — a testament to persistence in an unforgiving scene.
Brutal Blackened Death Metal from Denton, Texas/Louisville, Kentucky.
Washington State's Torvus began in the black/doom metal tradition before pivoting toward gothic metal in their later work, tracing a path from bleak atmospheric extremity to darker, melodic emotional textures.
Minneapolis atmospheric black metal project Toska layers gothic atmosphere and melodic desolation over black metal's cold architecture, drawing on the Russian concept of inexpressible longing to color their emotionally dense sound.
Texas-based blackened death metal project Total Human Genocide Division 218 operate at the violent intersection of black and death metal, delivering misanthropic extremity under a name that leaves no ambiguity about their sonic intentions.
Minneapolis black 'n' roll project Total Poison formed in 2025, fusing the raw electricity of rock and roll swagger with black metal's cold menace in a style that prioritizes hooks and attitude alongside darkness.
