Before the Suffering - Self-titled [ FULL FAN-MADE COMPIATION ] FONTANA, CALI DEATHCORE

Before The Suffering was a five-piece deathcore band from Fontana, California, active during the late 2000s and early 2010s. According to an archived MySpace biography from November 2009, the band had already gone through several lineup changes but believed they had finally established a solid lineup. At the time, they were writing a new EP and preparing to release a new track titled “Fractures,” which eventually surfaced online in early 2011. Several recordings from this period remain available, although the band’s discography is fragmented and poorly documented. Their surviving 2010 MySpace page lists “NEW/Four Faced [pre-pro],” “Exit Wounds PREPRO,” and “The Defect.” Interestingly, “The Defect” has the same 3:16 runtime as “NightCrawler,” a song later associated with the band’s planned 2012 EP. This raises the possibility that “The Defect” was an early version or original title for “NightCrawler,” although no official source confirms the connection. In May 2012, the band revealed artwork and a five-song tracklist for an EP titled .In Fear. In Pain. : 1. The Harbored 2. NightCrawler 3. Human Decay 4. Dead Wrong 5. Subject To Torment Only “NightCrawler,” “Human Decay,” and “Dead Wrong” are currently known to remain publicly available. “The Harbored” and “Subject To Torment” have not been located, and it is unclear whether the complete EP was ever officially released. Another recording, “Long Night (Instrumental),” appeared on the band’s SoundCloud around 2012. No information was provided about its intended purpose, and it may have been an unfinished demo or one of the band’s final known recordings. The band also had earlier material, including “Make Her Suffer,” which appears to have circulated around early 2009, and the mysterious song “Belial.” A surviving file of “Belial” carries a 2006 date, potentially making it one of the band’s earliest recordings. However, there is no official evidence confirming that year, and the band’s surviving MySpace information indicates that their profile was created in 2008. The 2006 date should therefore be treated as unverified metadata rather than a confirmed release date. Researching Before The Suffering is complicated by the existence of another deathcore band from Mexico named Before Suffering. The similarity between the two names has caused confusion among listeners and music databases, with songs sometimes being attributed to the wrong band. Sites such as Last.fm also suggest the existence of additional tracks, including “Incarceration,” but no official upload or archived primary source has yet confirmed that these songs belong to the California band. What remains of Before The Suffering’s history has been reconstructed from archived MySpace pages, old YouTube uploads, Facebook posts, SoundCloud recordings, and scattered community discoveries. Several recordings and important details remain missing, leaving the band as one of many partially lost fragments of the MySpace-era deathcore scene. 👇TRACK LISTING👇 1.
