Biografie
Jesus Piece is a metalcore band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, known for their raw, aggressive sound and unrelenting live performances. Formed in 2015, the band quickly gained attention in the hardcore and metal scenes with their intense blend of metallic hardcore, combining elements of punk, metal, and groove. The original lineup included Aaron Heard on vocals, John DiStefano on bass, David Updike on guitar, Louis Aponte on drums, and Raygun Busch on guitar. The band's early music, including their self-titled EP released in 2016, established their reputation for delivering heavy, visceral tracks that resonated with fans of both hardcore and metalcore.
Jesus Piece's breakthrough came with the release of their debut album, Only Self, in 2018 under Southern Lord Records. The album showcased their intense, down-tuned riffing, explosive breakdowns, and a blend of influences ranging from hardcore punk to death metal. Only Self received critical acclaim for its unrelenting brutality, dark atmospheres, and thematic focus on personal struggle, societal issues, and internal conflict. The band's dynamic live performances, marked by Aaron Heard's ferocious stage presence, further solidified their place in the hardcore and metalcore scenes. They embarked on extensive touring, sharing stages with acts like Code Orange, Knocked Loose, and Harm's Way.
Following the success of Only Self, Jesus Piece continued to build their legacy with a series of singles and collaborative projects, keeping fans engaged while refining their sound. They released the single "An Offering to the Night" in 2022, signaling a continuation of their heavy, genre-defying approach. Known for their commitment to creating a sense of community and inclusion within the often harsh environment of hardcore music, Jesus Piece's music often tackles themes of mental health, identity, and resilience.
The band remains a prominent figure in the modern hardcore and metalcore scenes, celebrated for pushing the boundaries of heavy music while maintaining a fiercely DIY ethos. Jesus Piece is not just a band but a force that captures the angst and aggression of contemporary hardcore, continually resonating with audiences worldwide.
