A punishing hard rock outfit based out of Asbury Park, New Jersey,
Toothgrinder employ a lethal mix of melody and muscle that incorporates elements of post-grunge, post-hardcore, and groove metal. Founded in 2010 and featuring the talents of vocalist
Justin Matthews, bassist
Matt Arensdorf, drummer
Wills Weller, and guitarists
Jason Goss and Johnuel Hasney,
Toothgrinder dropped a trio of EPs (Turning of the Tides, Vibration/Colour/Frequency, and Schizophrenic Jubilee) before unleashing their Spinefarm Records-issued full-length debut,
Nocturnal Masquerade, in 2016, which featured a guest vocal by
Periphery's
Spencer Sotelo. A sophomore effort,
Phantom Armour, arrived the following year, again on Spinefarm. A year later,
I Am followed a similar sonic trajectory as their previous efforts. ~ James Christopher Monger
