Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
Our On The Radar feature continues by introducing three new tracks from bands we previously interviewed and discovered through music discovery platform Groover. Today, we bring you two new singles from heavy French bands and a more laid-back offering from a Canadian band.
British metal newcomers Arimea aim to capture the essence of 2000s nu-metal with elements of hardcore and hip-hop. So expect chunky riffs combined with a splash of record scratch, a sprinkle of Misha Collins love-in, and a heavy dose of deliciously engaging vocals in a sound they describe as "impenetrable, nostalgic and alluring."

Today we bring you some Scottish post-hardcore, chaotic metal, fun pop-punk, a bit of a breather with some Canadian pop-rock and a fix of new hip-hop infused metal.
