Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
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.
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."
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."
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.
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.
A metal band with two dedicated vocalists is a fairly rare phenomenon but that's the case with Trowbridge band Severed Illusions.
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."
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.
Glasgow band The Rhubarb have honed an intoxicating dark and doomy stoner rock sound that fuses dual vocals with deliciously heavy fuzzy riffs.
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."
