A New York crossover thrash band formed in 2024, Tower 7 blend the punk aggression and short-burst energy of hardcore with the riff velocity of thrash, arriving at a sound built for circle pits and chaos.
San Bernardino's Tower Guard, active since 2021, fuse the melodic sweep of Gothenburg-style death metal with the soaring choruses and compositional ambition of power metal, crafting a sound that is simultaneously aggressive and anthemic.
Oshkosh, Wisconsin's Tower of Babel have been crafting melodic black metal since 2014, infusing the genre's characteristic icy atmosphere with hooks and structural clarity that give their sound a distinct sense of purposeful grandeur.
Boston's Tower of Babel, formed in 2014, work in the tradition of epic heavy and power metal, delivering the kind of larger-than-life riffs and anthemic songwriting that has defined the genre's most theatrical wing.
Philadelphia's Tower of Babel, active since 2014, approach post-black metal with an emphasis on texture and emotional breadth, blending the genre's dissonant tremolo foundations with the expansive, atmospheric dynamics that define the post-black movement.
Tower of Flies is a death/black metal band from Edinburgh, active since 2015. Named after a title associated with the demon Beelzebub, their music delivers extreme metal combining the brutality of death metal with the atmospheric aggression of black metal from the Scottish capital.
Formed in 2021 in Altoona, Pennsylvania, Tower of Ruin deal in death metal marked by raw, stripped-back aggression — a regional underground band content to let the genre's core heaviness speak without embellishment.
Tower of Silence from Lyon craft progressive black metal named after the Zoroastrian structures where the dead are exposed to carrion birds since 2018. Their dakhma-referencing name drives compositions that explore death rituals through technically ambitious extremity from France's second city.
California's Towering, active since 2016, occupy the slow, suffocating space where drone, doom, and sludge converge, building massive walls of distortion and deliberate, glacial pacing into music that functions more as a physical experience than a conventional listen.
