Editor's note

A Breath Before Surfacing's melodic death metal journey

A melodic death metal band formed in 2003, known for atmospheric black metal influences and songs like 'Writhing'.

For a sense of their range, try 'Writhing' and 'Looking into the Sun Without Going Blind'. They frame the band's mix of aggression and atmosphere pretty well.

They carved out a space in the 2000s metal scene by blending melodic death metal with atmospheric black metal textures. Songs like 'Writhing' and 'Looking into the Sun Without Going Blind' show their ability to shift between heavy riffs and more expansive passages. Their 2016 album 'White Walls' kept that approach alive.

The band formed in 2003 around vocalist Kyle Koelsch and guitarist Nick Cenci. They released their self-titled debut in 2006, followed by 'A Night in Terror Tower' in 2009 and 'The Unraveling' in 2012.
