Crushing, low-tuned death metal with a hardcore chip on its shoulder. Raw, punishing riffs for fans of the new wave of American brutal death.
Formed in 2022 in Colorado Springs, 10 TO THE CHEST has rapidly become a notable name in the underground 'New Wave of American Death Metal' (NWODM). Their sound is a synthesis of brutal death metal, deathgrind, and the rhythmic sensibilities of beatdown hardcore.
This stylistic crossover places them in a scene alongside acts like Sanguisugabogg and Snuffed on Sight, where the emphasis is on 'ignorant' heavy riffs and a DIY, lo-fi aesthetic rather than the polished technicality of 2000s era death metal. Their discography is characterized by high-frequency releases, including several EPs and splits that maintain a consistent level of sonic aggression. Critical reception within the extreme metal underground highlights their ability to blend 'slam' elements with a gritty, unproduced feel that evokes the tape-trading era of the early 90s. They represent a shift in the genre toward a more visceral, hardcore-influenced experience that prioritizes the 'mosh' over the melody.
