Saint Paul heavy metal musician Tony Flores has been releasing material under his own name since 2023, operating as a solo or near-solo act in the classic heavy metal tradition — riff-driven, melodic, and rooted in the genre's foundational 1980s vocabulary.

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.
A California heavy metal act formed in 2016, Torcher works within the traditional heavy metal idiom with a straightforwardness that lets the riffs speak for themselves. Though the city is unspecified, their Bandcamp presence reflects a solo or small project shaped by classic influences and operating without pretension.
