On a mission to prove that everything, even metal, is bigger in Texas, San Antonio-based quintet <a href="spotify:artist:1bPBx2qbpWzEoLujeHC3G7" data-name="Upon A Burning Body">Upon A Burning Body</a> batter crowds with their driving brand of mosh-ready deathcore. Delivering plenty of massive riffs, punishing breakdowns, and hardcore-style gang choruses, the group has a sound that's surprisingly infectious in what is typically a highly malevolent, take-no-prisoners genre. The band signed on with Sumerian Records, and in 2010 released its debut album, <a href="spotify:album:6wHWEDqVTJw005K8aNDYJ9" data-name="The World Is Ours">The World Is Ours</a>, on the influential metal label. Upon a Burning Body followed up with their sophomore effort, <a href="spotify:album:0f5IsHC3UGJWV1DtsliNEe" data-name="Red. White. Green.">Red. White. Green.</a>, in 2012. The hard-charging, Will Putney-produced <a href="spotify:album:6loLuS1K3gccZ70tht3j9N" data-name="The World Is My Enemy Now">The World Is My Enemy Now</a> dropped in 2014, followed in 2016 by <a href="spotify:album:7GE55BNEVtsPQi971Nbvsp" data-name="Straight From The Barrio">Straight From The Barrio</a>, which featured the blistering single "Til the Break of Dawn."
Now with Seek & Strike, the band strives forward delivering their most honest and crushing metal experience yet, <a href="spotify:album:5NGFaarv4KxVYH9LvaMLso" data-name="Southern Hostility">Southern Hostility</a>. No gimmicks, no hard sell, just straight up Texas style, American, metal.
