Brand of Sacrifice is a Canadian deathcore band from Toronto formed in 2018. The band was inspired by the work of manga artist Kentaro Miura, specifically his Berserk series and has based much of their music on his works.[2]
Founded in 2018, they released their debut EP the same year, titled "The Interstice". The following year, they released their first album, God Hand.[3] In 2021, they independently released their sophomore studio album Lifeblood, which was met with positive reception.[4][5] Later that year, they collaborated with Lorna Shore vocalist Will Ramos on a re-release of their song "Lifeblood".[6] The band released their second EP, "Between Death and Dreams", in April 2023 which contains four songs.[7][8][9]
