Despise formed in 1998. After having looked for a style, they rapidly moved to metal-hardcore. Their music takes the best of melodic metal, mixing it with mosh parts, each more powerful than the other.
After recording a self produced demo “believe”, they toured extensively in Switzerland gaining the interest of the Swiss label pitfire which then produced their 2nd demo “Every death give rise to a new born”.
From this demo onwards Despise really started rising. Strengthening their reputation during concerts with bands such as caliban, cataract, walls of Jerricho and pro pain, Despise made a name for themselves thanks to always impressive and energy packed stage performances.
After a year spend preparing new material. Despise is back with “some noise” signed with Lucifers legions and distributed across Europe. This album perfectly blends aggressive and emotional melodies from metalcore with heavier mosh parts
