Ohio's From a Second Story Window specialize in brutalist metalcore that incorporates math rock, grindcore, and progressive death metal elements. Founded in 1999 as Aphasia, the band adopted the FASSW moniker in 2003 and issued their deathcore-leaning debut long-player, Delenda, in 2006. They disbanded in 2008 before releasing the ambitious concept album Conversations, which took a more progressive post-hardcore approach. From a Second Story Window re-formed in 2023 with the original 2008 lineup.
