To Follow a Madman from Chelmsford deliver heavy metal, groove metal, and hard rock with the reckless devotion their cult-leader-following name suggests since 2023. Their Essex base channels the dangerous charisma of their concept through hook-driven compositions.
Rochester, New York's To the Deep occupy the space where groove metal's rhythmic churn meets progressive metal's structural ambition, building riff-forward songs with enough compositional depth to reward repeated listens.
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.
Toledo from Strasbourg blend progressive and groove metal under a name evoking both the Spanish city of swordsmiths and Toledo steel since 2020. Their Alsatian base pairs Franco-German cultural fusion with technically proficient, blade-sharp compositions.
Perry, Georgia's Tombstone Blue bring a groove metal swagger to their metalcore sound, favoring heavy, syncopated rhythms and arena-sized hooks in a combination that owes as much to Pantera as it does to the modern metalcore world.
Minneapolis metalcore act Tomorrow Brings New Blood have been bringing groove-driven heaviness to the Twin Cities since 2012, combining metalcore's melodic aggression with groove metal's hard-hitting rhythmic emphasis in a sound built for live impact.
Kissimmee, Florida's Tooms emerged in 2018 grafting groove metal's hip-swinging heaviness onto a metalcore skeleton, resulting in the kind of melodic, rhythmically locked sound that translates well in a live setting. Their MA genre tag of "melodic groove metal/metalcore" captures the balance precisely.
Torch Jaw come from Tehachapi, California — a small desert town in the mountains south of the San Joaquin Valley — and forge a hybrid sound that draws from groove metal's rhythmic authority, deathcore's sonic brutality, and traditional heavy metal's riff-centric sensibility. Formed in 2021, they represent the kind of geographically isolated band that pushes genre boundaries out of creative necessity.
