Vienna heavy/power metal band formed in 2015, Titan Killer pursue a classically-minded approach to the genre with explicit debts to Accept, Judas Priest, and Iron Maiden.

Boston's Titans of Industry have been blending progressive and heavy metal with hard rock accessibility since 2015, building a sound that favors ambitious song structures and melodic muscle over abrasive extremity.
Los Angeles' Titanskull operate at the crossroads of classic heavy metal and thrash, formed in 2019 with an ear for the kind of riff-forward, high-energy songwriting that owes as much to '80s metal's swagger as to the Bay Area's harder-hitting tradition.
Seattle's TKO have been carrying the torch for hard rock-inflected heavy metal and glam since their 1999 reformation, blending the sleaze and swagger of classic Pacific Northwest hard rock with muscular riffs and arena-sized hooks.
San Antonio's TNK have been forging straightforward heavy metal since 2014, drawing on the no-frills tradition of classic American metal with a blue-collar South Texas directness.
