Below the Bottom

**Below the Bottom** is a Virginia-based deathcore outfit known for their bone-crushing riffs and unrelenting energy. Formed in the mid-2010s around founding members Justin Walls (vocals) and Chris Gillett (guitar), the band carved a niche with their chaotic blend of technicality and raw aggression. Tracks like "Demagogy" and "Omega" showcase their signature mix of chug-heavy grooves, dissonant leads, and Walls’ visceral gutturals, while lyrics often tackle themes of existential dread and societal decay. They’ve shared stages with acts like Oceano and Within the Ruins, earning a reputation for pulverizing live shows. Recent releases like *Justice Served* and *Self-Defined* (2020s) double down on their no-frills approach, proving they’re still committed to keeping the deathcore flame burning.
