Muskegon, Michigan's Total Eclipse play heavy metal with strong hard rock roots, representing the Great Lakes region's taste for straightforward, fist-pumping metal with classic rock accessibility.
Los Angeles heavy metal outfit Total Eclipse draw from the deep well of Southern California's traditional metal scene, favoring no-frills riff-driven songwriting in the tradition of the city's storied underground.
Philadelphia grindcore institution Total Fucking Destruction have been a fixture of the underground since 2007, known for their politically charged, intellectually provocative approach to a genre more often associated with pure sonic brutality.
New Orleans speed metal and crossover outfit Total Hell bring the Crescent City's outsider aggression to a sound built on raw velocity and punk-metal collision, arriving in 2019 as a product of the city's perpetually fertile underground.
Texas-based blackened death metal project Total Human Genocide Division 218 operate at the violent intersection of black and death metal, delivering misanthropic extremity under a name that leaves no ambiguity about their sonic intentions.
New York brutal death metal act Total Invasion trade in the relentless, pulverizing style the state's underground has long championed, locking into the dense rhythmic brutality and guttural extremity of the genre's most uncompromising wing.
Baltimore's Total Maniac bring a punk-edged ferocity to heavy and speed metal, channeling the working-class belligerence of Maryland's underground music scene into riff-driven, no-bullshit metal that worships at the altar of early metal excess.
Total Massacre from Athens deliver death metal with the complete, unsparing carnage their name demands since 2017. Their compositions channel total slaughter from the Greek capital's death metal underground.
Minneapolis black 'n' roll project Total Poison formed in 2025, fusing the raw electricity of rock and roll swagger with black metal's cold menace in a style that prioritizes hooks and attitude alongside darkness.
