Introducing: This Silent Divide
New Zealand rockers This Silent Divide have honed an engaging sound that traverses the indie, rock and metal landscapes in what they describe as "energetic, melodic, wall-of-sound rock."
Introducing: Flowers Of Hades
New Zealand newcomers Flowers Of Hades are making quite the impression with a crushing djenty metalcore meets deathcore sound packed with crushing seven-string riffs, vicious vocals and booming breakdowns.
Introducing: Finger Tight
West Auckland quintet Finger Tight are putting the New Zealand punk scene on the global map with their engaging and feisty pop-punk sound.
Introducing: Full Bloom
We've not featured too many bands from New Zealand (only six in five years!) but those we have featured have all been superb. And there's no letting down on that front with the stunning metalcore sound of Full Bloom, which they describe as being "honest, heavy and instinctual."
Discover This: Shepherds Reign
The tag of unique is thrown around far too easily not just in music but in all areas of our lives. But in South Auckland's Shepherds Reign we think we've found a band that absolutely fits that moniker.
Discover This: Charcoal Burners
An impressive back catalogue of independent songwriting by Andrew Spittle - totalling some 40 or so albums - has evolved into new three-piece Charcoal Burners.
Discover This: Dead Favours
We've met a couple of great new bands from New Zealand recently, but they're being a serious run for their money by awesome Auckland rockers Dead Favours.
