Forfeit Misfortunes

Hailing from Corona, CA, UNDERNEATH THE GUN delivers intense death metal influenced hardcore. While their speedy and dexterous instrument gymnastics ignite firestorms in the mosh pit, the message behind the fury is one of love, hope and compassion. Trevor Vickers (guitarist) spoke about the band’s Christian beliefs and how it impacts their music: “UNDERNEATH THE GUN, while it sounds harsh, is about our time on this earth and how we should use that time to get right with the lord.” The band embarked on this spiritual and musical journey at only twelve years old. “We always had the same mission and influences, the only difference is we’ve matured in our approach,” Vickers remarked. Starting by playing local church shows and battle of the bands and graduating to club shows at fourteen, the band quickly took up much of the members’ youths. “We definitely turned a lot of heads being these kids and playing clubs with this style of music. We were getting comments from every band we played with.” Alongside guitarist Trevor Vickers is Harrison DeGrote (vocals), Isaac Bueno (drums), Kyle Fins (bass).
