Left Behind is an American hardcore punk band that has carved out a niche for itself with its intense, guttural sound and soul-baring lyrics. Rising from the smoldering underground music scene of Charleston, West Virginia, the group formed in 2014, swiftly gaining traction for their aggressive fusion of metalcore, sludge metal, and hardcore punk. The band's grit and vigor is prominently featured in their pummeling anthems, capturing themes of disillusionment, hardship, and personal struggle, often drawn from their own encounters and perspectives.

Their discography showcases a raw and relentless journey through darkness and defiance, with notable releases like "Blessed by the Burn" and "No One Goes to Heaven" delivering a punishing mix of down-tuned guitars and harrowing screams that detail the band's bleak outlook. The track "Peeling Wax," which features Matt Honeycutt of Kublai Khan, showcases their ability to collaborate and elevate their sonic ferocity. Albums like "Seeing Hell" and singles such as "Tough Love" and "Early Mourning" have cemented Left Behind's reputation as a force to be reckoned with, catering to a crowd that finds solace in the cathartic release of their music. With each successive release, from "Rock Bottom" to the more recent "Radioactividad," Left Behind continues to resonate with fans who appreciate the heavier side of hardcore, affirming their standing as one of the genre's most compelling acts.
