Seattle's Toe Tag formed in 2022 and immediately threw themselves into the crossover thrash tradition — short, fast, brutal songs that work equally well in hardcore and metal spaces, with the Pacific Northwest's sardonic edge baked in.
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.
New Jersey's Toilet Fucker, formed in 2025, operate deep in the lo-fi raw black metal underground, recording under the trvekvlt banner with the kind of abrasive, deliberately anti-polished sound that treats fidelity as the enemy.
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.
Wilmington, North Carolina's Toke have been delivering fuzz-drenched, smoke-soaked sludge and stoner metal since 2015 — the kind of slow, heavy music made for maximum volume and minimal sobriety, built from the coastal South's laid-back heaviness.
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.
Toke de Keda is a crossover thrash band from Santiago, Chile, formed in 2005 and currently releasing on Sarri-Sarri Distro & Records. They have three full-lengths to their name — Actitud, kaaos & metalpunk (2013), Holocaust: Nightmare of Death! (2017), and Atomic Discharge (2023) — mixing metal punk with sharp political and social commentary.
Lansing, Illinois's Tokyo Dawn formed in 2025 carrying a classic heavy metal banner, bringing the genre's traditional riff-and-melody formula to the Chicago South suburbs with an old-school sensibility in a modern context.
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.
