New Orleans speed metal and crossover outfit Total Hell bring the Crescent City's outsider aggression to a sound built on raw velocity and punk-metal collision, arriving in 2019 as a product of the city's perpetually fertile underground.
Texas-based blackened death metal project Total Human Genocide Division 218 operate at the violent intersection of black and death metal, delivering misanthropic extremity under a name that leaves no ambiguity about their sonic intentions.
New York brutal death metal act Total Invasion trade in the relentless, pulverizing style the state's underground has long championed, locking into the dense rhythmic brutality and guttural extremity of the genre's most uncompromising wing.
Baltimore's Total Maniac bring a punk-edged ferocity to heavy and speed metal, channeling the working-class belligerence of Maryland's underground music scene into riff-driven, no-bullshit metal that worships at the altar of early metal excess.
Minneapolis black 'n' roll project Total Poison formed in 2025, fusing the raw electricity of rock and roll swagger with black metal's cold menace in a style that prioritizes hooks and attitude alongside darkness.
New York crossover outfit Total Waste formed in 2023, bringing together the fury of hardcore punk and the riff aggression of thrash metal into a sound built for the pit and the chaos of the underground live circuit.
Boston deathcore act Totality arrived in 2023 with a sound that bridges crushing deathcore breakdowns with death metal's heavier atmospheric tendencies, adding to New England's increasingly diverse extreme metal landscape.
New Orleans crossover thrash outfit Totally Possessed bring the city's irreverent energy to a genre built on speed and attitude, fusing thrash metal's riff attack with hardcore punk's blunt force since 2017.
New Orleans sludge metal band Totem draw on the city's legendary tradition of low-end heaviness, building slow-churning riff structures and oppressive grooves in the spirit of the Southern swamp metal the region has long exported.
