To-Mera from Surbiton craft progressive metal named after the ancient Egyptian name for Lower Egypt since 2012. Over a decade of pharaonic compositions from the Surrey suburbs has produced technically demanding, Egyptian-themed progressive metal.
Toad in Transit is a symphonic/progressive power metal/rock band from Saarbrücken, Germany, active since 2008. They combine symphonic grandeur with progressive power metal's technical ambition.
Toad the Wet Sprocket from Bedford evolved from blues and rock origins into NWOBHM-influenced heavy metal, predating and sharing their name with the American alternative rock band since 1988. Nearly four decades of activity from the Bedfordshire county town makes them one of the UK's most quietly enduring metal acts.
Gritty grunge from Fort Worth.
Olympia's Toadliquor have been peddling some of the ugliest and most oppressive sludge-doom the Pacific Northwest has produced since their 2003 formation, dragging out riffs to their most suffocating extremes against a backdrop of feedback and misanthropy.
Chattanooga newcomers Toadsmoke formed in 2023 with a filthy hybrid of death metal and sludge, piling on the Tennessee muck with riffs that lurch and churn with equal parts grime and violence.
Toadstool from Saint-Étienne craft progressive metal named after poisonous mushrooms since 2022. Their mycological name drives compositions of potentially toxic complexity from the former industrial capital of the Loire.
Named with the menace of Cormac McCarthy's most savage characters, Eureka, California's Toadvine play black/thrash with a feral, punk-stained edge — raw, fast, and mean since their 2019 formation on the Northern California coast.
Indiana's Toasted, formed in 2024, deal in stripped-down death metal with a fresh but unflinching approach, channeling the genre's foundational brutality without ornamentation.
