Hailing from the gritty heart of Connecticut, Carried by VI is a relentless force in the metal and hardcore scene—where raw aggression meets emotional intensity. With punishing riffs and lyrics that dive deep into personal struggle, those of everyday life and inner strength, the band delivers a sound that's both brutally honest and unapologetically heavy. Drawing influence from East Coast hardcore and groove-driven metal, Carried by VI channels their pain, purpose, and passion into every live show, turning stages into warzones and crowds into family. This is more than music—it's a battle cry for the broken, a lifeline for the lost, and a voice for those who refuse to stay down. If you're ready for something real, something loud, and something that never lets up, Carried by VI is here to leave a mark.
