Spokane, Washington's Trashcasket have been digging up death metal since 2022, bringing the genre's grime and morbidity to eastern Washington's growing extreme metal underground.
please update this band
San Francisco's Trauma draw from the city's storied metal heritage, reviving the power and speed metal traditions of the Bay Area with anthemic riffs and a high-octane approach that recalls the scene's 1980s heyday.
Oak Ridge, Tennessee's Traumatic Asphyxia have been dealing out death metal since 2022, bringing the genre's suffocating intensity to a corner of Appalachia not typically associated with extreme metal.
Philadelphia's Traumatic Insemination are specialists in slam and brutal death metal, formed in 2021 and committed to the sub-genre's most physically imposing qualities — crushing downtuned riffs, guttural vocals, and rhythms built to devastate.
Augusta, Georgia's Traumgeist have been threading together progressive death and black metal since 2018, crafting music that resists easy categorization by layering melodic sophistication over the genre's darker extremes.
Scranton, Pennsylvania's Traverse the Abyss blend the guttural intensity of death metal with the rhythmic aggression of deathcore and metalcore, occupying the heavier end of the modern extreme metal spectrum since 2016.
Portland death-grind trio active since 2018, fusing the blunt brutality of grindcore with death metal heft and hardcore's confrontational attitude. Their name and approach are blunt instruments by design.
Colorado Springs outfit blending death metal brutality, sludge's tar-thick low end, and grindcore's blunt violence into a dense, punishing whole since 2019. One of the heavier acts to emerge from the Colorado Springs scene.
