Draft:Spite (Deathcore band)

Spite is a deathcore band from the San Francisco Bay Area, formed in 2013. Since 2015, they have released 4 full length albums, as well as one EP. While Spite is generally characterised as a Deathcore band, they take notable stylistic influences from genres such as Beatdown, and other downtempo sub-genres of hardcore punk.

In 2015, Spite signed to Stay Sick Records, which had recently been founded by Attila vocalist Chris Fronzak and released their debut EP, as well as three full-length albums. In 2021, they then signed to Rise Records Inc in 2021, later releasing their fourth album Dedication to Flesh in 2022.

In August 2021, founding drummer Joshua Slater was replaced by Josh Miller, previously a part of Emmure. In June 2023, drummer Josh Miller departed from the band, citing that he wanted to dedicate more time to Darko US, a project created alongside Chelsea Grin vocalist Tom Barber. Miller was replaced by Cody Fuentes, who had previously helped in producing and mastering earlier Spite albums. One month after Miller's departure, guitarist Lucas Garrigues also announced that he was amicably parting ways with the band. A second guitarist has not filled his place yet.
