Dethcentrik is an avantgarde extreme metal^[1] project from Colorado, formed in the summer of 2009 by vocalist Stefan "Død Beverte" Klein, and guitarists Justin Torres and Michael Glass. As the band was joined by Rose Sinclair, they began to work on music, releasing their first recording on their MySpace shortly after. The band played live for the first time on 17 April 2010. Dethcentrik has had frequent lineup shifts since conception, and for their sound was coined "black horrormetal" by Terrorizer Magazine in the summer of 2010^[2] and many songs by Dethcentrik have alternative versions^[3] and have been remixed.^[4]

Criticism & Controversy

Dethcentrik has undergone criticism for their music, mainly due to the extent of distortion used; in one instance the band's sound was compared to a garbage disposal.^[5] The band has also had music and video banned for offensive content,^[6][7] been place on a religious community threat list, and has come under fire for raw production^[8] and according to an extremely low-scoring^[9][10] review of the album Why the Innocent Die Young from the publication Metalstorm "simplicity."^[11]
