Bridgeport's Oath to Order merge the sledgehammer breakdowns of deathcore with genuine death metal menace, forging a sound that's as heavy as it is precise. Their metalcore instincts keep the songs tight even when the brutality threatens to swallow everything whole.
New Jersey's Ocean of Illusions pull deathcore's metallic breakdown energy into genuine death metal territory, building a sound that hits with weight and purpose rather than spectacle. Formed in 2015, they've been quietly hardening their edge ever since.
Crushing Symphonic Deathcore from Houston.
Heavy Progressive Death Metal / Deathcore from Houston.
San Francisco deathcore outfit Out for Blood launched in 2016 with the Bay Area's characteristic no-frills aggression baked in from the start. They lean into the genre's heaviest impulses — bone-crushing breakdowns and death metal riff velocity — without sacrificing intensity for polish. Their name says everything about their intent.
