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.
Dallas crossover outfit Tolar have been blending thrash aggression with death metal ferocity since 2014, delivering high-velocity riffs and punk-driven energy that keeps their sound firmly rooted in the pit-ready tradition of Texas heavy music.
San Antonio's Toluca have been grinding out a punishing fusion of death metal and grindcore since 2012, favoring short, brutal bursts of noise that align with the most uncompromising end of the Texas underground.
Based in Coldwater, Ohio, Toluca Lake push melodic death metal into stranger territory, weaving experimental textures into their song structures to produce something more unsettling than the genre's traditional melodic fare.
Detroit's Tom Ice draw from melodic death metal's most atmospheric qualities, forging a sound shaped by the city's industrial backdrop and the twin influences of Scandinavian melody and American heaviness.
Portland, Maine solo project Tom VonLuk straddles the line between deathcore and straight death metal, arriving on the scene in 2024 with a project that leans into crushing low-end and extreme vocal extremity.
California's Tomb Dweller emerged in 2023 fusing death metal brutality with hardcore's confrontational directness, producing a sound that hits with the blunt force of both genres without sacrificing the intensity of either.
Richmond, Virginia death metal outfit Tomb of Annihilation have been building their sound in one of the American East Coast's more storied underground scenes since 2022, delivering unadorned, riff-centered extremity.
