Staten Island death metal act Tombstoner emerged from the New York underground in 2020 with a sound rooted in old-school death metal's rotting, riff-heavy tradition, carrying the borough's outsider spirit into extreme territory.
San Diego's Tombstones have been mining the overlap between death and thrash metal since 2009, producing material that channels the early-90s American extreme metal sound with a West Coast rawness entirely their own.
Baltimore's Tombtoker are one of the more eclectic acts in the city's thriving underground, folding stoner metal's hazy weight into a death-doom foundation since 2018 to produce something heavy enough to flatten walls and smoky enough to cloud vision.
Tomorrow We Die Again from Görlitz on the Polish border blend melodic death metal with metalcore intensity, their fatalistic name driving urgent, emotionally charged compositions since 2023. Their easternmost-German location adds a border-zone restlessness to their aggressive melodicism.

Tonantzin from Laval deliver death metal named after the Aztec mother goddess since 2017. Their Mesoamerican concept brings pre-Columbian mythological grandeur to extreme metal from the Mayenne department of western France.
Death metal band from Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, formed in 2017. The 2024 album An Intergalactic Journey is a seven-track full-length running 33 minutes, featuring tracks such as 'Spoiling on Shelves' and 'Res Inexplicata Volans,' released independently.
Tone Glass emerged from Inverness, Florida in 2022 fusing melodic death metal's harmonic sensibility with metalcore's rhythmic punch and breakdown-driven dynamics. It's a blend common to small-town Florida scenes where genre lines blur freely, and their Bandcamp presence points to an active young act still finding its footing.
