Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands worldwide
We’re back with another round-up of new tracks by previously featured GigRadar artists in On The Radar. This round-up brings you new tracks by three bands, of which two are former New Bands of the Week alongside one of our favourite bands from France.
Wisconsin band Morningstar offers up a cinematic hard rock and melodic metal sound that fuses heavy riffs with symphonic elements and theatrical storytelling.
From deep within the ancient Nordic forests, a place where the line between dream and reality fades, the northern wind whispers forgotten tales and the howls of wolves call to your soul, emerges Swedish melodic death metal band Odjur, who describe their music as "untamed, epic and melodic."
South coast rockers Rogue Awakening have crafted an enthralling alternative meets gothic metal sound that they describe as "heavy, epic and melodic."
In recent months, we've been using music discovery platform Groovr to find new rock and metal bands from all around the world. However, sometimes the bands don't respond to our requests, so we put together a quick review of those that go unanswered.
Swedish band Carmilla offer up a fun and frenetic melodic metal sound with a strong death metal DNA that they describe as "energetic, melodic and modern."
Norwegian progressive metal band Connect The Circle fuse powerfully enthralling vocals and groovy guitars in a fascinating sound they describe as "dark, melodic and progressive."
Metal solo project Rise Above Instinct draws on symphonic metal inspiration and seamlessly merges orchestra and metal to craft a powerful sound that they describe as "epic, insightful and uplifting."
We're ticking the 58th country off the GigRadar map with a fascinating Colombian band who see themselves as metal's answer to the hacktivist movement Anonymous. Zarator's collective purpose is to "awaken others to their own stories" led by a deep shared love for rock, mysticism, philosophy, symbolism and powerful, theatrical shows.
German band Beyond Confidence have crafted a diverse metal sound that toes the line between modern metal, metalcore and post-hardcore and they describe as "catchy, emotional and honest."
