Our latest episode of new music from bands we've previously interviewed on the site brings you new rock, metal and punk tracks to get your weekend started. This month, we've got new music by seven bands from Canada, France, Greece, Mexico and the UK.
Introducing: Ravenswood
Stoner rockers Ravenswood are true OGs of the grunge scene, given that guitarist Chad was lucky enough to have seen Nirvana play live in Seattle before their debut album Bleach dropped. And the band have crafted a dank and moody, seriously low-tuned (B-standard) stoner rock sound that's deliciously more-ish and they describe as "Lovecraftian post-Sludge."
Introducing: Paradise Sins
British hard rockers Paradise Sins harness the raw energy of classic rock'n'roll and melodic metal in an engaging sound that they describe as "huge, harmonious and heartfelt."
Introducing: PROTOGONOS
French band PROTOGONOS are on a mission to deliver an immersive metal experience with a fascinating, powerful and slightly sinister metalcore sound that they describe as "introspective, energetic and hard-hitting."
Introducing: The Infamists
Texas trio The Infamists describe themselves as a "three-headed rattlesnake" due to the feisty nature of a riff-heavy diverse stoner rock sound they summarise as "heavy, bluesy, and barbequed."
Introducing: Dethlehem
Pittsburgh band Dethlehem have leapt from the tabletop to the stage with a fascinating, thunderous metal sound that came to life via a Dungeons & Dragons campaign and they describe as "epic, brutal and fantastical."
Introducing: Mess Out
French band Mess Out have crafted a bold and uncompromising sound that fuses the catchiness of punk rock with the raw power of old-school punk and the relentless aggression of metal, which they summarise as "intense, unapologetic and explosive."
New Band of the Week: Viatorem
London band Viatorem pair intense, groovy and unrelenting metalcore and hardcore influences with outspoken political messages in a sound that they describe as "ungovernable , unfiltered and unwavering."
