Exciting Essex metal band Beyond Extinction are on a mission to become "one of the big UK metal bands" with their fusion of metalcore, deathcore and death metal elements.
New Band of the Week: Beyond Extinction
GigRadio Episode 11: The Immerse-ive One
The GigRadar podcast GigRadio is back with a bang to discuss the best new rock and metal from around the world! It's been 10 months since our last episode but we've been keen to revamp the podcast for a while, and we finally got the opportunity to do so.
Introducing: Severed Illusions
A metal band with two dedicated vocalists is a fairly rare phenomenon but that's the case with Trowbridge band Severed Illusions.
New Band of the Week: Artemis
As the daughter of Zeus, Artemis was one of the most venerated Ancient Greek deities who signified, among many things, love, strength and the protection of girls and women. And we think you're going to love the strong, adrenaline pumping vibes of Southampton's "ballsy bubblegum punk rockers" Artemis.
New Band of the Week: Drip Fed Empire
Step into the future of metal with the cyberpunk, electronica metal sound of Bristol-based Drip Fed Empire. The quartet blends hardcore metal and post-hardcore with industrial, EDM, drum & bass elements to form a genre-bending, energy-fuelled dystopian sound.
Introducing: Medway
Bath quartet Medway have honed a powerful, emotional and engaging sound that floats between pop-punk, rock and emo.
New Band of the Week: Kite Thief
Allow your musical senses to soar with the bouncy, thrilling sound of Bristol band Kite Thief. The band describe their brand of alternative rock meets prog metal Gutter Candy Metal - "sweet and full of grit, like dropping your favourite candy in the gutter and still wanting to put it in your mouth."
Introducing: Cottonmouth
Blending classic heavy metal with influences of grunge and progressive rock, Nottingham's Cottonmouth are very much onto a winning formula. The quartet have honed an engaging sound that they describe as "thunderous metal riffage," which we love.
Introducing: The Rhubarb
Glasgow band The Rhubarb have honed an intoxicating dark and doomy stoner rock sound that fuses dual vocals with deliciously heavy fuzzy riffs.
New Band of the Week: TYRANTS
Blending the elements of hardcore and deathcore is only going to result in a pretty damn heavy concoction, and that's exactly the case with Swindon band TYRANTS who offer up what they describe as "stupidly heavy slams."
