The deathcore band Carnifex from San Diego established themselves as genuine deathcore musicians after their creation in 2005. The title 'executioner' or 'butcher' in Latin describes their evil nature. Audiences will experience three outstanding performances of "Hell Chose Me", "Lie to My Face", and "Die Without Hope". The band Necromanteum released their 2023 album which maintained their signature atmospheric dark sound with powerful heavy breakdowns.
Florida's Bodysnatcher adds unrelenting aggression and mosh-pit pandemonium to the proceedings. The band creates their unique sound through the combination of hardcore punk with deathcore elements. The audience will strongly react to fan favorite songs which include "King of the Rats" and "Absolved of the Strings and Stone" and "Behind the Crowd". The 2024 release Vile Conduct shows how the band has developed modern heavy music. Their high-energy stage shows have resulted in non-stop touring and they now appear on leading metal music streaming platforms.
The Ohio-based band 200 Stab Wounds secured a Metal Blade Records contract through their combination of death metal with their aggressive modern music.
