Bite To Break - In Between (Lyrics Video)

Bite To Break – Slam, Hardcore and Death Metal from Austria

Coming from Wiener Neustadt, Austria, Bite To Break is a relatively new name in the underground, formed in 2023 with a straightforward idea behind their music: combine the crushing weight of slam, the aggression of hardcore and the brutality of death metal, then remove anything that gets in the way of maximum impact.

The band describes the formula simply as “Slam × Hardcore × Death Metal.” And judging by their approach, subtlety isn't exactly part of the plan.

Bite To Break build their sound around crushing drums, filthy riffs and vocals pushed to their limits. Rather than dressing that aggression up with unnecessary layers, the band focus on making everything hit as hard and directly as possible.

There's a strong hardcore mentality running underneath the brutality, while the heavier side of their music draws from slam and death metal. The result is a dense and confrontational sound clearly designed with live energy and the moshpit in mind.

As the band themselves put it: no compromises, maximum impact.

Bite To Break Prepare Their Next Single

Although Bite To Break only formed in 2023, the Austrian outfit are already looking to push things forward. Their next single is scheduled for release on September 18, 2026, giving listeners another taste of the direction the band are developing.

Early reactions to Bite To Break have highlighted both their intensity and musicianship. Edgar Allan Poets praised the atmosphere created from the opening guitar riff as well as the band's authenticity and understanding of their sound.

Karl Is My Unkle described their debut single as a combination of emotional catharsis and crushing intensity, while also highlighting the strength of the vocal production and delivery.

Meanwhile, Power of the Sound pointed toward the band's uncompromising intensity and emotional honesty, describing Bite To Break as determined to establish an identity capable of leaving a lasting impression.

For a band still at an early stage of its existence, Bite To Break already have a very clear idea of what they want to deliver. There is little interest in playing it safe here: raw energy, heavy grooves and sheer impact come first.

With another single arriving on September 18, Bite To Break are one to keep an eye on for listeners exploring the heavier end of Austria's underground metal scene.
