A Wake in Providence is a symphonic deathcore band from Staten Island, New York. Known for blending orchestral arrangements with crushing breakdowns, the band continues to push the boundaries of modern extreme metal.
Portland, Oregon deathcore project. The incomplete name invites the listener to fill in what's missing — hope, perhaps, or mercy.
Boston deathcore project. The name's monochrome imagery strips away color and nuance, leaving only stark extremes.
A-morality delivers metalcore and deathcore from Tobolsk in western Siberia since 2012. From this historic Siberian capital — once the seat of Russian colonial governance east of the Urals — they challenge moral frameworks through aggressive modern metal.
Aasar fuses blackened death metal with deathcore from the Trentino-South Tyrol region, where Alpine culture meets Italian identity, since 2023. Their mountain-born aggression carries the weight of the Dolomites through punishing breakdowns and tremolo fury.
Sterling, Virginia deathcore project named after the Mortal Kombat blood code. Gaming culture meets crushing breakdowns from the DC suburbs.
Abaddon Hell creates deathcore from Moscow since 2012. Their doubly infernal name — naming both the angel of the abyss and his domain — drives over a decade of breakdown-heavy extremity from the Russian capital.
Abandon the Weak delivers death metal and deathcore from the Plymouth and Tavistock area since 2017, channeling Devon's rugged Dartmoor landscape into crushing extremity. Their Darwinian name suits a sound that demands the strongest survive.
Augusta, Georgia death metal and deathcore project named after the StarCraft evolution master. Gaming mythology rendered in extreme metal from the Garden City.
