Before Breathing is a melodic deathcore band from Chile who emerged in 2017 and gained an international following through intense live performances and sonically dense recordings. The band toured the United States in 2019, covering four states, and has drawn comparisons to acts such as Lorna Shore and Shadow of Intent. Their discography includes the debut EP Born Into the Chaos (2017) and the full-length Eternal Shadow of Existence (2022).
