London band False Reality have honed a thrilling thrash, hardcore and metal-inspired sound that's seen them quickly become of the most exciting new bands in the UK's heavy music scene.
New Band of the Week: Muscle Vest
If you're a fan of the weird and bizarre and you're generally a bit fed up with the way of the world (let's face it, who isn't?) then Muscle Vest could be just the tonic.
Introducing: Grand Collapse
South Wales band Grand Collapse offer up a hard-hitting sound that fuses hardcore punk with thrash metal elements and addresses political and social issues.
New Band of the Week: Cage Fight
Exciting newcomers Cage Fight offer up an aggressive concoction of thrash metal and hardcore punk, which fuses vicious vocals and powerful riffs and rhythms loaded with visceral rage.
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."
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: 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.
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."
New Band of the Week: Heriot
Describing themselves as "not for the faint-hearted," Swindon's Heriot offer up a violent assault on your earholes with a crushing hardcore sound.
New Band of the Week: Chaos Reigns
London quartet Chaos Reigns freely admit that they may never make it mainstream, but they're hell-bent on showing the rest of the hardcore scene how it's done.
