We've come to realise that Arizona is somewhat of a haven for awesome metal bands and we've unearthed another in the form of deathcore meets melodic metal newcomers Wyrmhaven.

Discover This: Wake Up Karma
We're willing to bet that you've never listened to or even heard of a rock or metal band - or any music for that matter - from United Arab Emirates before. But, we're expanding the GigRadar compass into a 45th country with Dubai-based Wake Up Karma.
Discover This: Karma Versa
Long Island, NY rockers Karma Versa fuse a multitude of musical backgrounds and influences - including beginning life as an R'n'B band, which we'll just about forgive them for - in their post-hardcore meets alternative rock sound.
Discover This: Panic Attack!
Make the mistake of Googling "Panic Attack! On The Train" and you'll join us in being put off going within 100 yards of any public transport service again for the rest of your life. However, listening to Norwegian band Panic Attack!'s latest track On The Train is a far more pleasurable experience.
New Band of the Week: Web
Fareham band Web were introduced to us as "Portsmouth's latest and most aggressive post-punk band," which had us all ears. The quartet have honed an intriguing sound that fuses a little bit of everything from experimental post-punk to grunge and heavy noise rock as they endeavour to work on "more interesting song structures."
Discover This: Devil In Disguise
Yesterday, we brought you a Russian band who attest to create the Devil's music, and today we're bringing you a Baltimore band called Devil In Disguise. Despite that, we promise you that the enforced lockdown hasn't suddenly transformed us into Satan worshippers!
Introducing: KVLTMOR
You often here people who aren't fans of metal lazily denigrate the genre as "the Devil's music." Well, in this case, they'd be absolutely correct. The main source of inspiration for Russian band KVLTMOR is the Diabolica Quimbanda, a sinister Occult black magic tradition that dates back to the forgotten bowels of human history.
Discover This: Emily Mitchell
Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter Emily Mitchell has honed a diverse sound that was born out of folk-rock and influenced by pop-punk and various pop and rock styles. And the singer refuses to be bound to one genre as she pursues her solo project.
Discover This: This Is Falling
St. Louis five-piece This Is Falling have honed an intriguing sound that tows the line between metal and post-hardcore with elements of industrial, electronic sounds and 80s influences. And they're definitely the first band to reference Top Gun as a musical influence to us.
Introducing: Hemmera
Until now, we've only ever covered one band from Brazil and no metal bands from the country. However, Ponta Grossa newcomers Hemmera have well and truly put the nation's scene on our map with their intoxicating fusion of metal, electronica, trance and orchestral elements, plus the contrast of screamed vocals and melodic choruses.
