Olympia's Toadliquor have been peddling some of the ugliest and most oppressive sludge-doom the Pacific Northwest has produced since their 2003 formation, dragging out riffs to their most suffocating extremes against a backdrop of feedback and misanthropy.
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.
Named with the menace of Cormac McCarthy's most savage characters, Eureka, California's Toadvine play black/thrash with a feral, punk-stained edge — raw, fast, and mean since their 2019 formation on the Northern California coast.
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.
Port St. Lucie's Tock have been mixing power metal's melodic firepower with thrash's aggression and alternative metal's hooks since 2012, a Florida act that keeps things energetic and genre-fluid without losing sight of the riff.
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.
Baltimore's Todesbonden have been weaving orchestral grandeur into gothic and doom metal since 2008, fusing symphonic arrangements with the slow, mournful weight of doom and gothic metal's darkness for a deeply atmospheric result.
Dallas's Todeskrieger, formed in 2020, practice unadorned black metal in the most orthodox sense — cold, aggressive, and rooted in the tradition's core values of atmosphere and nihilism, operating from one of Texas's most active underground metal cities.
Denton's Todopoderoso, assembled in 2023, push progressive and sludge metal into unexpected territory, blending North Texas's vibrant experimental music scene with the genre's heaviest and most challenging structural tendencies.
