Out of Philadelphia since 2011, Prosper or Perish work the crossroads of melodic death metal and deathcore — pairing hook-driven guitar leads with the crushing breakdowns and blastbeat intensity that define the heavier end of the modern death spectrum.

Founded in Columbia, South Carolina in 2021, Prosperity Gospel channel the dissonant spirituality of post-black metal through waves of shoegaze texture and atmospheric tremolo. Their name signals a knowing irony, setting oppressive American cultural themes against music that dissolves boundaries into something almost transcendent.
