Denver’s Darkest Week: From Deathcore and Sludge to Mathcore and Digital Hardcore

Denver is staring down a week of absolute sonic devastation, kicking off with an embarrassment of riches on Tuesday. Tech-metal disciples need to head to the Boulder Theater, where progressive metal pioneers Between the Buried and Me are bringing their career-spanning complexity alongside the avant-garde black metal terrors of Imperial Triumphant and the hyper-focused technical death metal of Fallujah. If you prefer your riffs blunt rather than complex, the Summit is hosting a masterclass in downtempo deathcore and metalcore on the very same night. Spite and Emmure are co-headlining a bill designed to test the venue's structural integrity, bolstered by the rising, unrelenting blastbeats of Psycho-Frame.
