On The Radar: Carences, Godeater, InRetrospect, Killed By Sorrow, ODC, Pick Up Goliath & Profiler

Our latest edition of new music from bands we’ve previously interviewed brings you new rock, metal and punk tracks to get your weekend started. This month, we’ve got new music by seven bands from Canada, France, Spain and the UK.

Vicar Blood

Introducing: Vicar Blood

With a name like Vicar Blood, you’d rightly expect a band to be obscenely heavy and confrontational. And the Ohio quintet doesn’t disappoint, serving up a vicious death metal sound laden with chugging guitars, driving drums and violent vocals.

Symbiontic

Introducing: Symbiontic

German collective Symbiontic combine the brutality of European death metal with the precision and playfulness of their American counterparts in a sound they describe as “like a punch in the teeth, but in a good way” and massive, eclectic and visceral.”

Disruption

Introducing: Disruption

We love a good comeback story, and that’s very much the case with Swedish extreme metal supremos Disruption, who describe their sound as “aggressive, energetic whiplash.”
