Upon a Burning Body

On a mission to prove that everything, even metal, is bigger in Texas, San Antonio-based quintet Upon a Burning Body batter crowds with their driving brand of mosh-ready deathcore. Delivering plenty of massive riffs, punishing breakdowns, and hardcore-style gang choruses, as heard on assured efforts like Red. White. Green. (2012), The World Is My Enemy Now (2014), and Southern Hostility (2019), the group has a sound that's surprisingly infectious in what is typically a highly malevolent, take-no-prisoners genre. Blood of the Bull, their seventh full-length release, appeared in 2025.
