We’re back with another round-up of new tracks by previously featured GigRadar artists in our On The Radar feature. This round-up brings you a wide variety of new music, from blues rock, hard rock and metal to a taste of 90s rock and some thrashing metalcore.
British newcomers DETH ATLAS aim to offer a homage to classic metalcore in a hard-hitting sound that they describe as “catchy, heavy and energetic.”

Ohio’s Faith In Failure aren’t afraid to mix things up, to the extent that they’re as likely to drop a hard-hitting metalcore banger as they are a punky ballad
