Alabama Hot Pocket is a deathcore band from Leipzig, Germany, formed in 2015, whose irreverent name belies a commitment to the genre's punishing breakdowns and guttural intensity. Their releases include the self-titled album and The Adventures of Florida Man, both showcasing the band's blend of brutality and dark humor.
Alice Against the Wonderland is a melodic death metal and deathcore band from Lubeck, Germany, formed in 2013, with lyrics by Patrick Adamzig and recording handled by Jonas Mewes. Their debut album Apocalypse contains ten tracks of apocalyptic-themed metal spanning nearly forty minutes, blending melodic death metal hooks with deathcore aggression across songs like The Gods Left Us and Rise of Humanity.
Alienacja has evolved through multiple extreme phases — from crust and grindcore through death metal into deathcore — from Płock in Masovia since 2014. Their Polish name meaning 'alienation' captures the estrangement at the core of their ever-shifting sound.
Tracy, California deathcore project named after Dante. The Divine Comedy rendered in breakdowns from the San Joaquin Valley.
Alkemy channels deathcore from Bergamo since 2019, transmuting the base metals of hardcore breakdowns and death metal extremity into their own brand of modern heaviness. From this Lombard hill city beneath the Orobie Alps, they forge punishing compositions.
All Eyez on Me delivers deathcore from Bydgoszcz in Kujawy-Pomerania since 2014. Their Tupac-referencing name brings hip-hop bravado to the breakdown-heavy extremity of their northern Polish sound.
Lubbock, Texas metalcore project. Collapse from the dusty flatlands of West Texas.
Sheridan, Arkansas deathcore project. Apocalyptic certainty from small-town Natural State.
All Is Dust merges death metal, deathcore, and groove metal from the Norman capital of Rouen since 2017, creating a nihilistic blend of modern extreme styles. Their apocalyptic name captures the devastation at the core of their sound.
