Ash Eclipses Flesh

Embrace The Awakening

Huge credit is due to any band that can pull off a comeback. In 2021, when MEZZROW sprang back to life, they took a major leap of faith.

DESPISED ICON could, if their Canadian identities would allow it, be extremely arrogant about their position in deathcore's unwritten hierarchy. Whether or not they were the first to fully express the genre is a moot...
