Bermuda

Bermuda is a California-based deathcore outfit that emerged during the genre's peak in the late 2000s and early 2010s. While often grouped with the Mediaskare Records roster of that era, Bermuda distinguished themselves by incorporating elements of progressive metal and sludge into their sound.

Their sonic identity is defined by high-gain, low-tuned guitar work, intricate drum patterns that border on math-metal, and a focus on emotional vulnerability rather than the typical horror-themed tropes of death metal. Over their career, they transitioned from the raw, breakdown-heavy style of 'Isolationist(s)' toward a more nuanced and atmospheric approach on later releases like 'Nepenthe'. Critically, they are respected for their technical proficiency and their ability to maintain a sense of groove amidst chaotic arrangements. They occupy a specific niche in the 'progressive deathcore' sub-movement, influencing a wave of bands that prioritize mood and technicality over pure shock value.
