A fringe subgenre of the totally real* musical movement known as Steamcore, characterized by an unholy alliance of industrial chaos, absurd performance art, and oddly specific sound requirements.
A proper PESC track must contain:
The sound of wet meat being slapped (meat drum, steak percussion, etc.)
Throat chanting in any language (preferably unknown)
Vague, alien-sounding nouns and verbs
At least one coherent spoken line that makes sense grammatically but has zero context
Screams, bells, or random telephone rings
At least one unorthodox instrument (e.g., tires, coat hangers, ball-peen hammers, spoons)
Steam noises, because Steamcore
Something called a polyphonic rupture, which nobody understands but everyone agrees sounds important
PESC is allegedly post-execution because it’s “what music sounds like after the final curtain,” according to self-declared genre prophet Fateswhim.
*Totally real in the same way Bigfoot’s Spotify is real.

“Bro, this track slapped — literally, there’s a guy hitting steaks in 7/8 time over a steam hiss while someone in the background keeps yelling about moose prophecy. 100% Post-Execution Steamcore (PESC)”
