Before I Turn

Before I Turn is a New England metalcore band weaving cinematic darkness, percussive djent-driven riffs, and immersive atmosphere into a sound that feels equal parts crushing and haunting. Pulling inspiration from gothic horror, psychological tension, and shadow-drenched ambience, the band has carved a distinct identity in modern heavy music — one where every track feels like a chapter in a larger, unfolding nightmare. Over their last several releases, Before I Turn has embraced full-scale concept album storytelling. Each record is rooted in an original horror narrative written by vocalist Alex Anglis, creating a world where the music serves as the soundtrack to a gothic tale of obsession, madness, and the supernatural. Fans don’t just listen — they step inside the story, uncovering new layers with every track. Blending atmospheric sound design, djent-inflected guitar work, driving percussion, and emotionally charged vocals, Before I Turn delivers an intense, cinematic experience that pushes beyond the typical boundaries of metalcore. Their music is crafted to transport listeners into another realm — a place where every riff, lyric, and melody pulls them deeper into the world of the characters who haunt these albums. With a growing cult following and a reputation for merging storytelling with ferocious heaviness, Before I Turn continues to redefine what metalcore can be: not just music, but an entire gothic horror universe brought to life through sound.
