Parricide

**Parricide** is a blistering metal act that emerged from the US Midwest in the late 2010s, carving out a niche with their chaotic blend of deathcore and metalcore. Known for pummeling breakdowns, guttural vocals, and eerie melodic undertones, the band built a cult following through relentless DIY touring and collaborations with acts like Lorna Shore and Signs of the Swarm. Their recent releases—including the suffocating *After The Funeral* and the nihilistic *Kingdom Of Downfall*—showcase their knack for pairing raw aggression with themes of existential dread and societal collapse.

While Parricide keeps their personal backstories shrouded in mystery, their music speaks volumes. Tracks like *Sometimes It’s Better To Be Blind And Deaf* and *Patogen* lean into visceral, horror-adjacent storytelling, often reflecting on decay (both internal and external). Their unapologetically dark aesthetic and chaotic live shows—think strobe-lit stage dives and walls of feedback—have made them a word-of-mouth favorite for fans craving catharsis in the underground metal scene.
