Seattle death metal and deathcore project. The legal defense term repurposed as a promise of emotional violence from the Pacific Northwest.
La Puente, California deathcore project. The name frames destruction as a calendar event from the San Gabriel Valley.
Birmingham, Alabama deathcore and melodeath project. The paradoxical name — finding a cause worth ultimate sacrifice — adds existential weight to Magic City brutality.
Junction City, Kansas death metal and deathcore project. The name's double meaning — both a summons from the grave and a serious vocation — adds depth to heartland extremity.
A Lapse of Ethos is a deathcore project from Phoenix, Arizona, with a single release to their name. Details remain sparse, but the project name — suggesting a breakdown of moral principles — aligns with the genre's thematic preoccupations with societal decay and personal collapse. The band adds to the growing extreme metal presence in the Phoenix desert scene.
A Mind Traveller delivers technical deathcore from Veliky Novgorod since 2017. From one of Russia's oldest cities — the ancient capital of the Novgorod Republic — they bring psychological exploration to modern extreme metal.
A Mutilated Mind is a deathcore band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, releasing a four-track EP in 2021 featuring tracks titled "Cold," "Rotting," and "Vile Impulsive Cycles." The band deals in bleak, oppressive deathcore that channels psychological anguish into crushing breakdowns. Their music reflects the darker currents running through Philly's heavy music underground.
A Night at the Chalet is a deathcore band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, active since 2010 with two releases totaling 18 tracks. The band's music features horror-driven themes with tracks like "Disgusting Images of Reality" and "Forever Entombed Amongst the Catacombs," delivered through relentless breakdowns and guttural vocals. Their name — evoking a cozy retreat turned nightmare — captures the band's juxtaposition of the mundane and the horrific.
A Night in the Abyss merges death metal, deathcore, symphonic metal, and technical death metal from Brighton since 2015, creating an ambitiously broad sound from the seaside city. Their four-genre fusion produces compositions of remarkable scope and intensity.
