Genre blending death metal from South West London

We’re Cartoons Can’t Die—a Shiftcore metal band from Guildford, UK, smashing together deathcore, prog, djent, industrial, and groove metal. Influenced by the likes of Whitechapel, Spiritbox, Lamb of God, Monuments, and Periphery, our sound is a chaotic blend of crushing riffs, tight grooves, brutal breakdowns, and unexpected twists. Beyond the music, we’ve built a rich post-apocalyptic world, tying deep lore and strong visuals into everything we do.

Our 2025 releases include the singles "Godless" and "Rebirth," with more lined up throughout the year.
