ABOUT ANGELMAKER
AngelMaker levels listeners with a furious, focused, diverse, and violent extremity. Across a handful of split EPs and other releases, including two full-length albums, the Northern Vancouver six-piece make their musical intentions clear. AngelMaker creates deathcore of the highest order, injected with blackened thrash, a smattering of power violence, and the urgent ferocity of underground hardcore.
AngelMaker formed roughly a decade ago and put themselves on the deathcore map with 2012’s “
Squirrels” and the Decay EP. A three-way split EP with Lament and Isolations arrived the following year. Songs like “
Godless” and “
A Dark Omen“ made their debut full-length album, 2015’s Dissentient, a massive standout, with one Bandcamp commenter likening its sound to “cutting your heart out with a rusty spoon.” Portland, Oregon-based producer Stephan Hawkes (Chelsea Grin, Attila, Red Fang) produced and mixed the album. The Unholy Alliance split with A Night In Texas followed in 2016.
AngelMaker beat more than a dozen bands for a fan-voted spot on 2017’s Summer Slaughter Tour, featuring The Black Dahlia Murder, Dying Fetus, The Faceless, Oceano, Slaughter To Prevail, Origin, Rings Of Saturn, Betraying The Martyrs, and Lorna Shore, among others. That momentum continued across Canada, with AngelMaker selected as the only opening act for The Faceless on a short trek.
The deathcore subreddit lit up in search of footage from AngelMaker’s spectacular performance at the Brutal Assault festival in 2018 in an 18th-century army fortress in Czechia. MetalSucks presented the fall’s Bloodletting North America tour, putting AngelMaker alongside Virginia’s Arsis; California’s Decrepit Birth; Slovenia’s Within Destruction; and New York’s Internal Bleeding and Pyrexia.
AngelMaker’s self-titled sophomore album emerged in 2019, punctuated by unrelenting tracks like “
BLOODTHIRSTER” and
“Hollow Heart“. Now, with the release of their 2 track EP, ‘Dawn’, AngelMaker are back and ready to once again assert their place at the very forefront of the deathcore scene.
