The Word Alive
Phoenix metalcore fronted by Telle Smith, alternating clean choruses with breakdowns and drifting toward electronics as the years pass.
The Word Alive formed in Phoenix, Arizona, in 2008 and have been fronted for most of their existence by vocalist Telle Smith. The band works in metalcore and post-hardcore, pairing screamed verses and breakdowns with melodic clean choruses, and their later material has folded in more electronic production and programmed elements.
They have released a series of albums through Fearless Records and built their following largely through steady touring in the American metalcore scene.
