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.
Oakland, California deathcore pioneers and one of the genre's most influential acts. Their technical, melodically sophisticated approach helped elevate deathcore beyond simple breakdown worship.
All They Decide delivers death metal and deathcore from Nancy since 2009, representing over a decade of extreme music from the Lorraine capital. Their authoritarian name suits the commanding intensity of their sonic assault.
