Tear Out The Heart is a five-piece metalcore band from St. Louis, Missouri, founded in 2011. The band signed with Victory Records in 2012. and released their first full-length record, Violence, in 2013. They released their second full-length album, Dead, Everywhere, on January 27, 2015.

Tear Out The Heart self-released their first EP Tear Out The Heart in 2011, and their second EP Hell Is Empty in July 2012, just a month before announcing they had signed to Victory Records. Their debut album Violence was released on Victory Records in March 2013 and was received with predominantly positive reviews. Violence featured guest vocals from Caleb Shomo from Attack Attack! on the track "Undead Anthem", and Dan Marsala of Story Of The Year on the track "Coffin Eyes". Dory Khawand of Metal Temple, whom gave the album 8/10, stated:

Well, the album is pretty unique in terms of atmosphere and overall delivery. What’s found here is some heart melting guitar drops, synthesizers, and the refreshing voice of Caleb Shomo (whom somehow tends to be featured on tons of Metalcore albums for some reason nowadays).

Throughout their career, Tear Out The Heart have played with artists such as Palisades,Famous Last Words,The Browning. In Late 2013 the band announced that they would be on Warped Tour. However, before the start of the tour, they made a post on their official Facebook page stating that

Due to an extensive recording process, we regret to inform you all that we will no longer be a part of the Van's Warped Tour this summer. We're genuinely sorry to any of you that were planning on seeing us perform but this new album is far more important to us than anything.
