The High Cost of Playing God, based in Austin, Texas, is a band known for its emotionally intense and creatively driven metallic hardcore music. Drawing inspiration from legendary predecessors such as Converge, the band's sound is often described as the musical equivalent of a panic attack. Their music combines intense emotions and self-loathing with a frantic, saw-toothed frenzy that can be challenging to focus on initially. However, listeners who persist will discover dark, twisted melodies alongside unique and structurally clever songwriting decisions and numerous riffs.
