Delusional Parasitosis

Michigan, US · 2013–present · active
Michigan's Delusional Parasitosis have been operating in brutal death metal territory since 2013, named after the psychiatric condition in which a person falsely believes themselves to be infested with parasites — a suitably unnerving image for music that crawls under the skin. Their decade-plus in the underground speaks to a commitment to relentless, punishing brutality with no compromise.
