Hailing from Peru, Indiana, To My Dismay blend melodic death metal's harmonic bite with metalcore's structural punch, carving a melodically driven but heavier-than-expected sound from their small-town Midwest roots since 2018.

Anchorage's To the Depths have been one of Alaska's most persistent extreme metal acts since 2011, fusing melodic deathcore's hooky leads with a crushing low-end brutality that suits the state's remote, unforgiving character.
Chattanooga newcomers Toadsmoke formed in 2023 with a filthy hybrid of death metal and sludge, piling on the Tennessee muck with riffs that lurch and churn with equal parts grime and violence.
Indiana's Toasted, formed in 2024, deal in stripped-down death metal with a fresh but unflinching approach, channeling the genre's foundational brutality without ornamentation.
Detroit's Today I Wait have been operating in the bruising territory between groove metal and deathcore since 2014, combining the bone-heavy rhythmic stomp of the former with the relentless low-end punishment of the latter.
Seattle's Toilet Boys, assembled in 2024, wade through a particularly grimy mix of sludge and death metal — caustic, bottom-heavy, and carrying the city's long history of ugly, confrontational music into the present.
Madison, Wisconsin's Toiletectomy play slam-inflected brutal death metal with a grotesque premise and an equally grotesque sound, formed in 2023 and committed to the subgenre's signature low-tuned savagery and guttural absurdity.
Boston's Toke are a brutal death metal outfit with no relation to their North Carolina namesakes, operating since 2015 in the tradition of punishing, technically precise brutality that Massachusetts's metal underground has long produced.
