Patient Zero

**Patient Zero** has been bulldozing eardrums since emerging in the early 2010s as a relentless force in the deathcore/metalcore underground. Known for blending gut-punch breakdowns, technical riffing, and nihilistic lyrical themes (see: *Collapsing The Spine Of Existence* and *Purifying Plague*), the band’s identity remains shrouded in mystery—they let their apocalyptic sound do the talking. Recent releases like *XII* (2022) and *Nailed To Breath* (2023) showcase their evolution into darker, more dissonant territory, earning them cult status among fans of bands like Despised Icon and Thy Art Is Murder. While members avoid the spotlight, their studio output and live shows cement them as architects of pure sonic annihilation.
