GigRadio Episode 13: The Defences One
Introducing: Monasteries
If you happened to be on the lookout for the heaviest new UK metal band then Monasteries would probably be a good place to start.
New Band of the Week: Majin
Deathcore sextet Majin will cast a spell over you with their punishing, brutal cyberpunk influenced sound that they describe as "forward thinking groove" and "deathcore in technicolour."
Introducing: Them Bloody Kids
Prepare yourself for some "sexy old school doom metal deliciousness" from exciting, rebellious new London band Them Bloody Kids.
New Band of the Week: RUINA
RUINA's diverse sound is built on an arsenal of riffs and big breakdowns and draws on a wide range of influences, leading them to describe it to us as "random, huge and genre-fluid."
New Band of the Week: Human Hell
The last year or so has given us a glimpse into the darker sides of human existence, which London newcomers Human Hell address with their chaotic death metal meets deathcore soundtrack for turmoil, suffering, misery and panic.
New Band of the Week: Cannula
Exciting Lancashire band Cannula offer up a new sound that they hope listeners won't be used to hearing from British metalcore. They fuse elements of hardcore and deathcore with huge riffs and breakdowns, intense vocals and intriguing lyrics in a heavy, emotive sound they summarise as "new-wave metalcore."
New Band of the Week: Defeatist
It's often easy to pigeonhole bands into specific genres but Cardiff's Defeatist are example of why we should keep an open mind.
Introducing: Dude Safari
Out of the midst of a national lockdown a mysterious new beast has emerged in the form of Surrey grunge rockers Dude Safari.
Album Review: As Everything Unfolds – Within Each Lies The Other
A few years ago we headed along to see our friends in Defences play a gig at The Crowndale Club in Camden. The headline act that evening saw the six members of As Everything Unfolds pile onto the tiny stage and blow our minds, led by what we described as "the incredible vocals of Charlie Rolfe."
