Expect a progressive yet heavy metal sound from Phoenix, Arizona band Echoes In Ashes, who describe their sound as "complex, intense and imaginative."
Introducing: Echoes In Ashes
Introducing: The iBand
When a band describes their music as "transcendent, hybrid and elevational" our interest is immediately piqued. And that was only fuelled by the intriguingly named The iBand telling us they are also aiming to become "the first all-internet super-group."
Introducing: Traverse the Abyss
A fusion of thrash metal with metalcore and deathcore means you're right to expect something beautifully heavy and wild from Pennsylvania quintet Traverse The Abyss.
Introducing: Solar Strides
Emerging London band Solar Strides offer up a fun and punchy brand of 60s blues-infused alternative rock with tinges of indie.
Introducing: Spike Polite & Sewage
From throwing bottles at the police to performing alongside Biggie Smalls and Cypress Hill and opening up an infamous concert on the night that GG Allin died of a drug overdose, Spike Polite & Sewage have been on one hell of a journey.
Introducing: Hearts & Hand Grenades
Having played together in cover bands for years, Buffalo, NY's Hearts & Hand Grenades' decision to start making their own music owes much to the Goo Goo Dolls.
Introducing: TrueShot
New Hampshire metalcore quartet TrueShot are a band in the midst of an evolution. Having released their debut EP last year within 12 months of forming, they've since switched things up with an even heavier, lower-tuned sound and a brand new drummer to boot.
Introducing: REFUGE
Kenya might not be the first country that jumps to mind when you think about countries with a thriving rock and metal scene. But, according to young Nairobi-based band REFUGE, they are part of growing rock revolution in the East African country.
Introducing: Antlerz
It's not too often we feature a band before they have any music available to play you - in fact, we think this could be a first. But, given the sell that new London rap-rockers Antlerz gave us, we felt this one was worthwhile.
Introducing: Hidden Phase
Atmospheric alternative rock duo Hidden Phase duo are a project that's draped in mystery. The French two-piece offer up an intriguing progressive rock/metal sound that fuses engaging vocals with huge atmospheric instrumentals, supported by some awesome music videos.
