AngelMaker
The Observatory — Santa Ana, CA

AngelMaker is a deathcore band from Peterborough, Ontario that trades in the kind of grinding, suffocating heaviness that makes the floor feel unsafe. They emerged in the mid-2010s with a sound built on downtuned riffs, guttural vocals, and the sort of production that sounds like it was recorded in a bunker. Songs like 'Bait and Switch' and 'Incomplete' showcase their knack for building claustrophobic tension before dropping into passages designed to separate your spine from your vertebrae. They're not interested in melody as a crutch—every hook lands because the songwriting beneath it is genuinely heavy, not just loud. The band has built a devoted following in the deathcore underground by refusing to soften anything.

Their shows are physically demanding affairs where the pit becomes genuinely dangerous. Crowds are locked in, not performing—everyone's there for the weight of it. The band delivers with zero showmanship, just sheer pressure. Mosh pits form immediately and rarely break. Definitely not a first-date venue.

Known for Bait and Switch, Incomplete, Hate, Lost, Cannibal

AngelMaker rolled through Los Angeles on April 20, 2025 at 1720, bringing the kind of unhinged deathcore energy that doesn't so much fit into a room as detonate inside one. The band has carved out a specific niche in LA's metal landscape—they're the type that makes you reconsider your neck's structural integrity. Their setlist hit hard with the catalog's heaviest moments, the kind of songs that sound like they were written specifically to destroy venue infrastructure. The crowd ate it up with the reverence due to a band that refuses to soften anything for commercial appeal. LA keeps pulling in bands like AngelMaker because the city's metal community demands the real thing—no compromise, no arena rock posturing, just pure deathcore mechanics.

Los Angeles has always had a complicated relationship with metal, but deathcore specifically has found genuine traction here in the last decade. The city's metal underground runs deep—from the valley's storied venues to downtown's converted warehouses—and it's built a reputation for supporting heavy music that most markets would overlook. AngelMaker fits naturally into this ecosystem because LA's metal fans don't want gateway drugs. They want the difficult stuff, the technically demanding material that requires actual skill to pull off.

Stay in Los Feliz, where you can walk tree-lined streets and catch views from Griffith Observatory. Dinner at Republique in the Arts District—refined French-inspired food in a restored factory space that feels more Paris than LA. Spend an afternoon at the Huntington Library in San Marino, a world-class art collection that justifies the drive. The city's recording studio history is everywhere; walk through Hollywood and you're literally surrounded by the spaces where hits were made. End the night at a jazz bar like The Fonda Theatre or catch live music on Sunset Boulevard.
