Gloucester City, New Jersey's Departed have been operating in the gritty overlap of thrash, metalcore, and hardcore since 2016 — a combination that reflects the Garden State's blue-collar DIY ethos in every riff and shout. Their music is direct and confrontational, built for small venues and stage dives rather than festival main stages.
