200 Stab Wounds
Cleveland's contribution to the new-school death-metal revival — filthy, mid-paced, and built entirely around the riff, with the kind of grooves that turn a pit violent in seconds.
200 Stab Wounds formed in Cleveland, Ohio in 2019 and quickly became one of the more visible names in a younger wave of American death metal that leans on groove and simplicity rather than technicality. The band's approach favours thick, mid-tempo riffing, blunt song structures and a guttural vocal delivery, drawing on the sound of early-1990s death metal while keeping the production clear and heavy.
Live, the group works largely as a rhythm machine, with breakdown-adjacent passages designed to move a crowd. They have toured widely through the metal and hardcore circuits, where their audience overlaps with both scenes.
