Canephora was a metalcore band from Virginia Beach, Virginia. The band shared a member with Converge and guitarist Brian Benoit went on to play for Dillinger Escape Plan in 1999. Canephora was undeniably heavy, with a unique sound defined by the brutal, throat-shredding screams of their vocalist, which seamlessly blended with the aggressive, feedback-laden guitar work to stunning effect. If you are a fan of 90s metalcore bands that lean further into the metal side like Converge or Dawn Of Orion, you will love this band.
