A recently formed US doom/death outfit, Tortured Remains blend the dragging tempos and mournful weight of doom metal with the down-tuned brutality of death metal, working in the tradition of the genre's most sepulchral expressions.
Hatfield, Massachusetts speed merchants Tortured Skull fuse the raw velocity of speed metal with punk attitude, carrying the torch of no-frills, pedal-to-the-floor aggression from western New England since 2016.
Pinellas Park, Florida's Tortured Soul traffic in death/thrash metal that reflects the Sunshine State's long tradition of ferocious underground extremity, blending the riff attack of thrash with death metal's darker sonic palette.
Medford, Oregon's Tortured Souls operate in the groove-inflected thrash lane, pairing chugging mid-tempo riffs with the swaggering weight of groove metal in a style that has defined much of the American post-'90s thrash revival.
Richmond, Virginia death/thrash act Torturepoint arrived in 2024 with the kind of pit-ready aggression their hometown's storied metal scene demands, drawing equally from the riff-driven ferocity of thrash and the morbid darkness of death metal.
Bloomington, Indiana's Torturess weave together doom, sludge, and traditional heavy metal into a dense, riff-forward sound that recalls the crushing weight of Electric Wizard alongside the groove-driven swagger of '70s-influenced hard rock.
Staten Island's Torturous Inception specialize in the technical and brutal end of death metal, constructing dense arrangements of rapid-fire riffing and inhuman percussive precision rooted in New York City's historically brutal death metal underground.
Atlanta, Georgia's Tortus play heavy metal with a classic bent, representing the American South's enduring appetite for riff-driven, no-frills metal that prioritizes power and directness over genre experimentation.
Utica, Michigan's Torva bring a progressive sensibility to thrash metal, threading angular arrangements and dynamic shifts through otherwise aggressive riff-work in a style that rewards patient listening alongside headbanging.
