Abrasive, jagged deathcore that prioritizes panic over polish. High-tension mathcore rhythms meet heavy industrial textures for a relentless, claustrophobic experience.
Hazing Over is a Pittsburgh-based extreme metal outfit that emerged in 2021 following a complete stylistic pivot from their previous incarnation as the screamo/emo-violence band Shin Guard. This transition is crucial to their identity, as they brought the frantic, emotional volatility of screamo into the rigid framework of deathcore and mathcore.
Their sound is characterized by high-gain dissonance, 'panic chords,' and a rejection of the melodic hooks common in contemporary metalcore. Critically, they are positioned within a new wave of 'art-deathcore' that prioritizes atmosphere and technical erraticism over traditional song structures. Their work, particularly on the 'Tunnel Vision' and 'Pestilence' releases, has been praised for its claustrophobic production and its ability to bridge the gap between the technicality of mathcore and the sheer weight of death metal. They are a key part of the modern underground heavy scene that values genre-fluidity and sonic extremity.
