Bigger Loser's definitions
A genre of music started by Slice Paper Wrists, a south Florida band from Port Saint Lucie, combining extreme hardcore elements, with ambient, or surreal elements. Different from Shoe-core, or Nu-Gaze, Slice-Core blends as many sub genres of hardcore as possible, such as Grind-core, or even Death-core.

Get the Slice-coremug. It’s the collision of hardcore’s raw aggression with shoegaze’s suffocating atmosphere, but drenched in emotional honesty so sharp it cuts deeper than the distortion.
The guitars don’t just play notes — they sound like walls collapsing in slow motion. Vocals aren’t delivered, they’re exorcised, swinging from desperate whispers to throat-tearing screams like someone drowning and surfacing in the same breath.
The drums move between relentless punishment and moments of suspended stillness, the kind of pauses where you can hear your own heartbeat in your ears.
Slicecore isn’t just music — it’s a confrontation.
It wants you to feel the band’s pain, then your own, until the two are indistinguishable.
It’s for the ones who’ve been silenced, for the ones who’ve learned to stitch themselves back together with invisible thread.
Every track is both an open wound and the hand that presses on it, not to hurt you, but to remind you you’re still alive.
