Ignore the name because there's nothing sleep-inducing about the groundbreaking sound of Norwegian modern metal band Yawn.
Introducing: Yawn
New Band of the Week: El Moono
Brighton quartet El Moono offer up a heavy yet melodic fusion of hardcore, post-hardcore, grunge and metal that they intriguingly summarise as sitting "somewhere between Deftones and Kelly Clarkson."
Introducing: Rogue
Rogue offer up a progressive metalcore sound that fuses pummelling guitars, a mix of clean and screamed vocals and immersive soundscapes, which they describe as "energetic, atmospheric and thought-provoking."
New Band of the Week: Sixth Wonder
Sixth Wonder fuse engaging vocals and choruses with dark, djenty guitars in an infectious progressive metalcore sound they describe as "ethereal, intuitive and technical."
Video Premiere and New Band of the Week: Seek Harbour
Seek Harbour offer up an infectious post-hardcore sound that fuses emotional melodic verses with 80s-esque pop choruses, which they describe as being "melodic, melancholic and relatable."
Introducing: Led By Lanterns
Birmingham band Led By Lanterns is on a mission to push alt-rock into something darker, which takes the best bits of pop songs and improves them with metal and electronic influences.
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: Lake Mosaic
What better way to get your weekend kicked off than with a high-octane fusion of pop-punk, easycore, and post-hardcore. Luckily for you, we've got exactly that courtesy of exciting Michigan-based band Lake Mosaic.
Introducing: Kill Her First
Berlin band Kill Her First have honed their hardcore punk roots and layered in metalcore influences and emo vocals to develop a truly delicious, angsty sound.
Introducing: Forgery System
