About AngelMaker

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 + San Francisco

AngelMaker's relationship with San Francisco runs deep into the city's appetite for heavy, uncompromising music. The band last touched down at The Regency Ballroom in April 2024, working through a ten-song set that felt less like a greatest hits run and more like a statement of purpose. They opened with "I Long for Rest" and spent the next hour threading between the brutalist architecture of "Dissentient" and the cathartic weight of "Leech," their closer. Songs like "The Rabbit" and "Suffer Forever" hit harder in a room packed with people who'd driven across the Bay specifically to hear these songs. It's the kind of crowd that doesn't ask for radio play—they just want the heaviest version of the truth.

Live Music in San Francisco

San Francisco's underground metal scene has always been willing to go places other cities won't. There's a lineage here that goes from the Bay Area thrash bands through the city's current obsession with deathcore and extreme metal that actually pushes boundaries rather than just hitting them. Venues like The Regency have become essential infrastructure for bands that care more about sonic violence than accessibility. AngelMaker fits naturally into this landscape—they're the kind of band that thrives in rooms where the audience understands dynamics, technicality, and the value of a riff that doesn't apologize.

San Francisco road trip to see AngelMaker?

Stay in Hayes Valley or the Mission—both neighborhoods have the kind of restaurants and bars that make a weekend feel deliberate rather than touristy. Head to State Bird Provisions for dinner if you can get in; it's precise and inventive without being pretentious. Spend a day in Muir Woods or hiking around Twin Peaks for actual views of the city. The de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park is worth a couple hours if the weather holds. Hit up a coffee place on Valencia Street in the Mission just to sit and watch the neighborhood move around you.
