A metal band with two dedicated vocalists is a fairly rare phenomenon but that's the case with Trowbridge band Severed Illusions.
Introducing: Cell Games
Brand new Irish metal duo Cell Games take us back 20 years or so in time with a sound they hope provides a revival of nu-metal in a bid to "rival the best turn-of-the-century bands."
New Band of the Week: Artemis
As the daughter of Zeus, Artemis was one of the most venerated Ancient Greek deities who signified, among many things, love, strength and the protection of girls and women. And we think you're going to love the strong, adrenaline pumping vibes of Southampton's "ballsy bubblegum punk rockers" Artemis.
Introducing: Acolyte
Strap yourself in for a progressive metal rollercoaster ride with Australian rockers Acolyte. The band have honed a progressive metal sound that drops you into melancholic, ambient troughs and picks you up with dramatic climactic peaks that they describe as "epic, emotive and powerful."
Introducing: Future Lows
We promised you more bands from the Emerald Isle and, almost immediately, here's another in brand new rock duo Future Lows. The band describe their engaging, anthemic sound as a "step forwards" for Irish rock music due to its modern approach.
Introducing: Neon Empire

New Band of the Week: Drip Fed Empire
Step into the future of metal with the cyberpunk, electronica metal sound of Bristol-based Drip Fed Empire. The quartet blends hardcore metal and post-hardcore with industrial, EDM, drum & bass elements to form a genre-bending, energy-fuelled dystopian sound.
Introducing: Automatic Kafka
One country we've been sadly lacking new bands from is Spain, having not featured a Spanish band in over a year and only five in the four years of running the site. However, we're putting that right with potentially the best Spanish band we've discovered so far in grunge rockers Automatic Kafka.
