Backstabbed

Formed in 2018 in Offenburg, Germany, BACKSTABBED have built their own path through the hardcore scene with an uncompromising DIY mindset, explosive live shows and their self-defined "Boundaries Breakin' Hardcore" sound. Blending crossover hardcore, crushing breakdowns, 2-step grooves, modern metal influences and emotional melodies, the band creates a balance between raw aggression and vulnerability.

With releases spanning one album, three EPs and numerous singles, BACKSTABBED have shared stages with bands like LANDMVRKS, Stick To Your Guns, Terror and Hatebreed, establishing themselves as one of Germany's rising independent hardcore acts.

Their new EP SERVANT OF MISERY arrives on October 2nd, 2026, exploring themes of loss, guilt, inner conflict and the struggles within human relationships. The first single "SPRING INSIDE MY GRAVE" marks the beginning of a new chapter, combining crushing hardcore energy with deeply personal storytelling.
