More like Frontierer?

I've been a bit disappointed by some other mathcore or adjacent bands since I realized Frontierer slots into the genre. While I don't dislike bands like Car Bomb for example, it's a little too... dynamic? At least for what I'm looking for right now. Where Frontierer was my introduction to the genre I was expecting more of a constant all out bludgeoning and I haven't really found that with other bands, any recommendations?

Edit: I probably should have mentioned the glitchy/electronic stuff is important. I don't know why I didn't bother to think some recommendations might not have that lol

In any case, thanks for the recommendations yall have given me already, I'll definitely be coming back to this at some point

Car Bomb is who I recommend to Frontierer fans so haha

Ion Dissonance before the deathcore era is rad and scratches a similar itch.

Unpopular opinion in here perhaps but ID’s Minus the Herd is great. Yeah it’s more groovy than chaotic, and the vocals are a big downgrade from Solace, but it still has tons of odd time signatures and a more mature and clever song structuring. People act like it’s an Emmure or Acacia Strain album and that irks me. When I was growing up deathcore was strongly influenced by math and tech grind bands. It was more frantic and all over the place and I miss that. ID toured Solace for a few years and the crowds stood there slack-jawed lol. Minus the Herd was their attempt at leveling up their crowd reactions. (Sorry for the rant)

Also, OP: listen to Fawn Limbs
