We recently began discovering new rock and metal bands through music discovery platform Groover. Some bands don't respond to our requests for interviews, so we'll likely be doing semi-regular round-ups of new artists we've discovered through the site.
Introducing: VISAVIS
French band VISAVIS take us on a wild groove metal ride that flows through catchy riffs and vocals with unexpected electronic elements along the way, in a sound they describe as "Fresh Heavy Sludge."
Introducing: Xystenz
French band Xystenz offers up a fascinating metal meets punk sound that fuses pure metal intensity with more melodic moments.
Discovering New Bands On Groover: Introducing Feldspar, Fear The Lions, Mantra, Pyrecult, In The Abyss, GoGo & Midas Royal
If you've read any of our recent articles, you'll have seen us reference discovering new bands through Groover, a music submission and discovery platform. With that in mind, we wanted to drill down into what Groover is and summarise a few of the most recent submissions we've received.
Introducing: The Dislockers
French hardcore newcomers The Dislockers pack a bone-crushingly heavy punch with an intoxicating sound that fuses metal, hardcore and hip-hop.
Introducing: Make It Shine
French band Make It Shine fuse rock and metal influences with touches of electronica to craft a fun, catchy but heavy-riffing sound that they describe as "energetic, melodic and bouncy."
Introducing: S.Y.G.M.A.
French duo S.Y.G.M.A have crafted a powerful and intriguing metal sound that combines elements like groove and melodic hardcore and they describe as "intense, unique and sophisticated."
Introducing: Lies We Sold
French band Lies We Sold have crafted a diverse metalcore sound that packs a punch yet also delivers engaging melodies, and which they describe as "powerful, melodic, and melancholic."
Introducing: Lomor
Over the years, we've taken delight in covering bands from all over the world. But I don't think I ever thought we'd be bringing you a thrash band from the Indian Ocean. Yet that's exactly what we're doing with the exciting old-school sound of Lomor, who hail from Réunion Island, a French overseas department near Madagascar and Mauritius.
