Bristol newcomers GNASCH formed out of an "eagerness to keep the music primitive and underdeveloped."
New Band of the Week: GNASCH
Introducing: SAFIRE
New solo artist SAFIRE oozes anger and rage in a sexually charged fusion of metal, pop, electro and hardcore punk.
GigRadar Fresh Tunes: October 2022
We're back with another batch of great new music from new bands around the world on our Spotify playlist GigRadar Fresh Tunes.
New Band of the Week: Grief Ritual
As someone going through a significant grief process, I can testify that seriously soul-destroyingly heavy music can often be just the tonic. Birmingham trio Grief Ritual offer that in abundance with a fusion of death and black metal, hardcore and metalcore that they describe as "miserable, unrelenting and crushing." Perfect.
Introducing: Cosmic Cold War
International trio Cosmic Cold War transport listeners into the darkest corners of their minds and the most remote reaches of the cosmos with their immersive blend of alternative, groove and progressive metal.
New Band of the Week: Caustic Waves
We've featured several "one-man-bands" through the years of running GigRadar, but only one has ever made it to our New Band of the Week feature. But we've now doubled that tally as we unearthed Glasgow-based Caustic Waves' nostalgic alternative post-hardcore.
Introducing: Pridian
This may surprise you but Tartu band Pridian are the fourth we've featured from Estonia. And this particular group of musicians is among the finest Estonia has to offer, considering the previous iteration of the band was nominated for metal album of the year at the 2022 Estonian Music Awards!
Introducing: ROSA FAENSKAP
New Norwegian band ROSA FAENSKAP have honed a massive sound that fuses black metal, post-rock and hardcore punk with progressive and shoegaze elements.
GigRadar Fresh Tunes: Our New Music Friday Spotify Playlist Is Back!
We thought it was high time we revived our Fresh Tunes Spotify playlist, which collates up to 30 of our favourite new tracks from some of our favourite new rock and metal bands.
Introducing: Wires
Hungarian newcomers Wires offer up a vicious and intense industrial metalcore sound that they summarise as "anger, discomfort and most certainly frustration." Intriguingly, the band is big on experimentation and uses electronics and, specifically, analog synths to finetune their unique industrial sound.
