A Saint Paul project born in 2025, Toward Eternity blend heavy, gothic, and doom metal into a brooding, melodically rich sound, drawing equally from 90s gothic rock atmosphere and traditional doom's slow, crushing weight.
New York's Tower, active since 2016, channels the spirit of classic heavy metal — muscular riffing, soaring vocals, and a devotion to the analog warmth of the genre's golden era — into a sound that feels both reverent and genuinely alive.
Boston's Tower of Babel, formed in 2014, work in the tradition of epic heavy and power metal, delivering the kind of larger-than-life riffs and anthemic songwriting that has defined the genre's most theatrical wing.
Baywood-Los Osos, California's Toxikith have been operating since 2012 at the intersection of classic heavy metal and thrash, favoring the melodic hooks and galloping riffs of the early-to-mid '80s over modern extremity.
Linthicum Heights, Maryland's Tracer have been flying the flag for traditional heavy metal since 2006, drawing on the NWOBHM and American power metal traditions in a region with a tight-knit but dedicated metal underground.
Chicago's Tracer X emerged in 2017 with a focus on heavy and power metal, bringing soaring vocal lines and twin-guitar arrangements to the Midwest's enduring metal scene.
Intense Heavy Metal / Hard Rock out of Texas.
A heavy and power metal outfit from San Mateo, California, Tramontane bring a classic European flavor to the Bay Area scene — soaring vocals, twin guitar harmonies, and a knack for epic song structures rooted in the NWOBHM tradition.
