10 to the Chest is a deathcore act from Colorado Springs, Colorado, trading in violence-soaked extremity since 2022. The band has released material primarily through splits, including collaborations with Sanguisugabogg and Stabbing, establishing themselves within the underground slam and deathcore community. Their track titles and features point to a band deeply embedded in the modern brutal death and deathcore circuit.
12 Gauge Autopsy is a deathcore act from Indiana whose debut 11-track release dropped in 2026 with a focus on forensic brutality. Track titles like "Chemical Castration," "Flesh Walking Feces," and "Hung on a Hook" leave no ambiguity about the band's fixation on visceral violence. The band deals in slamming, breakdown-heavy deathcore at its most uncompromising.
1913 is a death metal and deathcore act from San Antonio, Texas, active since 2014. Their eight-track release features lowercase song titles like "peru," "more," and "americana" that hint at themes beyond typical genre fare. The band's name evokes historical weight, fitting for music that carries both brutality and gravity.
1931 is a deathcore band from Galloway, Ohio, active since 2013 with three releases totaling 21 tracks. The band incorporates Spanish-language elements — tracks like "Agujero Negro" and "Suburbia" — into their crushing breakdowns and guttural delivery. Their sound reflects the diversity of Ohio's extreme metal underground.
