Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
Texas band Wolvera aim to leave an impression on people that hear the metal sound they describe as "powerful, creative, and deep." And it's safe to say their attempts to modernise everything that was good about 1980s heavy metal - namely chugging riffs, vicious vocals, searing solos and powerful rhythms - are pretty memorable.
Texas quartet Up For Corruption offer up a fusion of old school metal instrumentals and 'new school' vocals in sound they describe as "heavy, enlightening and controversial."
We're particularly excited by Dallas newcomers Burning Windows as they offer up an exciting yet sinister sound that's reminiscent of the late 90s bands that first got us into metal.
Summoning the spirit of 2000s hardcore, Texas band Nygma have established a reputation for surrealistic lyrics, unorthodox guitar melodies and unpredictable shifts in tempo and rhythm.
