Amsterdam heavy rock band Horizon Tide, who intriguingly and slightly randomly describe their music as "the lemon in your coffee."
Introducing: Horizon Tide
Introducing: ROSA FAENSKAP
New Norwegian band ROSA FAENSKAP have honed a massive sound that fuses black metal, post-rock and hardcore punk with progressive and shoegaze elements.
Introducing: Wires
Hungarian newcomers Wires offer up a vicious and intense industrial metalcore sound that they summarise as "anger, discomfort and most certainly frustration." Intriguingly, the band is big on experimentation and uses electronics and, specifically, analog synths to finetune their unique industrial sound.
Introducing: Wolvera
Texas band Wolvera aim to leave an impression on people that hear the metal sound they describe as "powerful, creative, and deep." And it's safe to say their attempts to modernise everything that was good about 1980s heavy metal - namely chugging riffs, vicious vocals, searing solos and powerful rhythms - are pretty memorable.
Introducing: Dirty Rivals
There's probably not too many cooler places to be in a rock band than Florida. And South Florida band Dirty Rivals absolutely ooze in coolness with their high-energy hard rock meets alternative rock with drizzles of indie influences.
Introducing: Phenomy
Lebanese band Phenomy set out to create a musical interpretation of the "very dark world" we all find ourselves a part of. And it's safe to say they've succeeded, honing an intense metal sound that they describe as "authentic, heavy and dark."
Introducing: New Habits
Utah band New Habits formed with a purpose to inspire listeners to develop new habits and better their lives and relationships.
Introducing: Deep Drive
Danish band Deep Drive formed through a love for heavy music with the aim of merging an old school sound with modern production quality, which they describe as "organic, melodic and determined."
Introducing: TwoMinutesHate
It's been a little while since we featured any Norwegian punk, but we're putting that right with the catchy sound of Oslo newcomers TwoMinutesHate.
Introducing: Qu!et
They may be Qu!et by name but there's nothing overly quiet about the nature of this New York band.
