The Handshake Murders hail from Arkansas. They are a mathcore/metalcore/post-hardcore band in the vein of Botch, Coalesce, and Norma Jean; they also draw noticeable influence from the churning, time-signature-shifting pummel of math-metal giants Meshuggah. The band includes many former members of Eso-Charis; this group was led by vocalist Cory Putman (who now goes by the name Cory Brandan), current vocalist for Norma Jean.
