About Spite

Spite is a deathcore band from Jacksonville, Florida that emerged in the mid-2010s with a sound built on suffocating heaviness and vocal ugliness. Their self-titled debut and subsequent releases established them as one of the more uncompromising acts in modern metalcore, refusing to sand down their edges for accessibility. Songs like "Malice" showcase their particular gift for riffs that feel genuinely hostile rather than just fast, while their vocal work—a blend of guttural and scream—operates as its own instrument rather than just punctuation. They've built a steady following in the underground metal scene through consistent touring and a willingness to get heavier rather than lighter with each release. Spite's appeal lies in their refusal to do anything but what they actually want to do.

Spite shows are physical and confrontational in the best way. Pits form immediately and stay open for entire sets. The band doesn't tour to charm you. They tour because they have something to prove every night. Expect intensity without showmanship.

Known for Malice, Closure, Desolation, Tear the World Down, Infection

Spite + Minneapolis

Spite rolled through Fillmore Minneapolis on October 6, 2024, bringing the kind of intensity that doesn't need much setup. The San Antonio band worked through nine tracks of controlled chaos—opening with the blunt force of "IED" before pivoting to the headspace-clearing "Snap." What stuck was the setlist's refusal to play it safe: "Caved In" and "Dedication to Flesh" sat heavy in the middle, the kind of deep cuts that separate people who actually listen from people who just showed up. They closed with "Free for All," which felt less like a statement and more like a fact. Fillmore's been hosting this particular brand of deathcore long enough to know what it's doing.

Live Music in Minneapolis

Minneapolis doesn't get as much deathcore attention as the coasts, but it's got the infrastructure to support it. The city's metal lineage runs deep—Prince aside, there's a legitimate underground that moves between venues like Fillmore and First Avenue. Deathcore acts find traction here because Minneapolis audiences are skeptical and detail-oriented. They'll show up, but they're listening.

Minneapolis road trip to see Spite?

Stay in the Northeast Minneapolis arts district—it's where the city's creative energy actually lives, with galleries, vintage shops, and the Mississippi River nearby. Eat at Café Alma in the same neighborhood for restrained, high-quality Italian cooking. Spend an afternoon at the Walker Art Center, which sits on a rise overlooking downtown and has genuine landscape appeal. Grab coffee at Spyhouse, a roaster that takes itself seriously without the performative nonsense. The Stone Arch Bridge is worth a walk if the weather cooperates.
