Parisian collective Ressentiment Superlibre Masculin Hardcore fuse grindcore, rap, metal and industrial music "in an incoherent fashion" in a sound they summarise as "Grindcore, Rap, GRAPE!"
Introducing: Ressentiment Superlibre Masculin Hardcore
Introducing: Oïkoumen
French band Oïkoumen have honed a fascinating sound that marries metal with progressive, orchestral and symphonic elements, which they describe as "powerful, breathless and moving."
Introducing: Xystenz
French band Xystenz offers up a fascinating metal meets punk sound that fuses pure metal intensity with more melodic moments.
Introducing: Banquise
French band Banquise offer up a delicious fusion of metalcore energy and emotive melodies packed with thought-provoking lyrics that they describe as "fragility, power and resilience."
Introducing: Ice Chemicals
Our third French band in a week sees us discover the alternative metal sound of Ice Chemicals. The Parisian collective have honed a style that plays with elements of metalcore, melodeath and neo metal and utilises dual male and female vocals.
Introducing: The Dead Krazukies
French band The Dead Krazukies offer up a hugely enjoyable nod to 90s skate punk with metal and hardcore edges that they summarise as "energetic, dramatic and catchy" - and definitely not emo.
Introducing: Wyvern
Thankfully, the powerful, atmospheric progressive rock and metal sound of Wyvern is far more entertaining than my local radio station of the same name.
Introducing: Waking The Sleeping Bear
French rapcore meets neo metal is a music genre we're fairly sure you've not heard too much of. But if Waking The Sleeping Bear are anything to go by, it's something we all need a little bit more of in our lives.
