Bodysnatcher

2 upcoming festivals

Florida beatdown with no interest in subtlety — grief and rage compressed into two-minute assaults, as heavy emotionally as it is sonically.

Bodysnatcher is a heavy band from Melbourne, Florida, working in the overlap between deathcore, beatdown and hardcore. Their songs are short and built around low-tuned, slowed-down breakdown sections, with vocalist Kyle Medina's lyrics dealing largely with loss, depression and anger in blunt first-person terms.

The band has released a run of albums through the 2010s and 2020s and is associated with the downtempo end of the deathcore scene, where tempo drops and stop-start rhythms matter more than technical speed.
