The High Cost of Playing God

The High Cost of Playing God is an Austin, Texas based act playing a brutally emotional and creative brand of metallic hardcore. Inspired by legendary forefathers like their namesake, Converge, The High Cost of Playing God’s music often sounds like the musical equivalent of a panic attack - intense emotions and self-loathing combined with a frantic, saw-toothed frenzy that almost makes it difficult to focus on. But if you stick with them, you’ll find dabs of dark, twisted melody, as well as unique and structurally clever songwriting decisions and riffs galore.
