Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
If we had to pick two genres that probably wouldn’t work together, R&B and metal would likely be good contenders. But Manchester band Alchemize have fused the two, while taking on the added complexity of having three vocalists.
Manchester band Asleep At The Helm is all about contrasts. The quartet aims to push boundaries with its brutally powerful yet melodic new age metalcore sound that they describe as “aggressive, chaotic and energetic.”
If you like your rock music fused with elements of 80s post-punk, goth and electronica, then north-western England band ANTEES tick all the boxes with a sound they describe as “energetic, gritty and loud.”
Strap yourself in for an epic start to your week courtesy of heavy progressive rock band LUTE. The Manchester quartet tell us that their epic cinematic sound is almost like listening to a film soundtrack and joke “maybe we’ll write a musical one day!”
Turn it up loud and embrace the sound of garage rock for the sound of Manchester’s Hey Bulldog.
