We're doing something a little different today as we introduce you to intriguing Canadian metalcore meets emocore band Wthcnvctn.
Introducing: Belle Morte
Belarussian band Belle Morte have honed a beautiful blend of dark symphonic metal with haunting gothic and progressive elements laced with a melancholic and "romantic" vibe.
Introducing: unbeliever.
We've got another taste of the exciting Belgian metal scene from unbeliever., who've honed a huge boundary-bending sound that combines crushing riffs, pounding rhythms and intense vocals with atmospheric melodies and synths.
Introducing: ILLT
After composing music for countless Norwegian films and TV shows and even winning a Norwegian Emmy, a love for extreme metal genres sees solo project ILLT unleashed on the world.
New Band of the Week: Kite Thief
Allow your musical senses to soar with the bouncy, thrilling sound of Bristol band Kite Thief. The band describe their brand of alternative rock meets prog metal Gutter Candy Metal - "sweet and full of grit, like dropping your favourite candy in the gutter and still wanting to put it in your mouth."
Introducing: Cottonmouth
Blending classic heavy metal with influences of grunge and progressive rock, Nottingham's Cottonmouth are very much onto a winning formula. The quartet have honed an engaging sound that they describe as "thunderous metal riffage," which we love.
Introducing: Mvsic2Mvrder2
Obviously, we don't condone people killing people but, if there was such a thing as the sound of killing, then maybe this could be it.
Introducing: After Silence
After more than four years of running GigRadar, we've finally found our first Mexican metal band in Mexico City-based metalcore quartet After Silence. And it's been well worth the wait as, probably a little bit offensively, the band reveal that "people are shocked when they realise that we are Mexican."
Introducing: Evil Cathedral
The ongoing pandemic has resulted in many of us having more time on our hands to start new hobbies and work on new projects. That was the case for Oxfordshire-based music programmer Tez, who used the 11 weeks he had off work to launch solo hard rock project Evil Cathedral.
Introducing: VRSTY
New York City rockers VRSTY are on a mission to prove wrong the theory that everything has done before. The band offer up an unusual fusion of R&B and even pop-inspired vocals with heavier metal growls alongside huge guitar riffs, metallic grooves and elements of post-hardcore.
