Discover This: Dish Pit

Having a music video banned by YouTube for containing too many naked men and playing a gig while a member was high on morphine (for medical reasons) means Canadian newcomers Dish Pit sound pretty rock’n’roll to us.

Discover This: Why So Silent?

Ukrainian newcomers Why So Silent? are an intriguing proposition, fusing full-on instrumental metal synthy spaciness.

Discover This: Society Down

After 20 years away, Society Down have returned with a sound that fits nicely into the modern metal landscape yet also harks back to the genre’s 90s’ heydays. And, they’ve achieved something they couldn’t back in the day – create and release an album.

Discover This: bottomshelf

Shoegaze and metal sound like a musical oxymoron, but somehow Philadelphia collective bottomshelf merge the two together to make something jaw-droppingly brilliant.

Discover This: Playoffs

Get your fix of catchy punk-fused pop-rock with New York newcomers Playoffs. The band is the work of New York musician Brendan Jones, who left his blues-focused previous band to unleash his punky rock tendencies on the world.

Discover This: Lurker In Light

We love to tick new countries off the new music map and today we’re able to add Romania to this fairly lengthy list. Our first taste of Romanian music is the intriguingly dark and heavy yet deliciously catchy sound of Cluj-Napoca band Lurker In Light.

DIEFM
By robilaz Posted on February 4, 2020

Discover This: DIEFM

We don’t recall writing about too many bands that have three guitarists but, when one lavishes in such a luxury, it’s only right to expect something pretty darn heavy. And Australian metal-meets-punk-meets-hardcore newcomers DIEFM do not disappoint on this expectation.

Halogram

Discover This: HALOGRAM

We don’t receive too much in the way of progressive metal, instrumental metal or, indeed, instrumental music generally. But when we do, it tends to be pretty epic listening. And … Continue reading Discover This: HALOGRAM

Blackwall

Discover This: Blackwall

Our first introduction to Swiss black metal act Blackwall was a combination of their huge sound and their description of the band as “five average guys with an above-average hatred of today’s world.”

Deadbot

Discover This: Deadbot

As the name sort of suggests, Texas-based Deadbot are on a mission to raise awareness about the impending power of artificial intelligence through the medium of stoner rock.
