A decibel- and soul-crushing deathcore unit based out of Southern California,
Spite employs a lethal blend of death metal, metalcore, and neo-nu-metal.
Formed in the Bay Area and featuring the talents of Darius Tehrani (vocals), Stephen Mallory (bass), Alex Tehrani (guitar), and Cody Fuentes (drums), the band issued an independent EP, Misery, and an eponymous full-length before inking a deal with
Attila frontman Chris Fronzak's Stay Sick Recordings. The band's first LP for the label,
Nothing Is Beautiful, was released in July, 2017 and drew comparisons to contemporaries like
Thy Art Is Murder,
Acacia Strain, and
Suicide Silence.
Spite continued to push against the boundaries of heavy music with the punishing Root of All Evil, which appeared in 2019. ~ James Christopher Monger
