Disembodied Tyrant

2 festivals played

Symphonic-leaning blackened deathcore assembled with orchestral bombast and technical density — extremity arranged like a film score.

Disembodied Tyrant is a deathcore project formed in 2020 in St. Louis. The music combines blackened deathcore — blast beats, tremolo-picked riffing and harsh layered vocals — with heavy orchestration, so that strings, choirs and brass carry as much of the arrangement as the guitars do. Tempos shift frequently, and passages of technical, progressive writing sit next to slower breakdown sections.

Like much of the current symphonic deathcore scene, the band built its audience largely through online releases and streaming rather than conventional touring first, and its recordings are notable for how densely produced they are.
