Unnerve

Introducing: Unnerve

Dutch band Unnerve offer up a vicious concoction of metalcore, deathcore, nu-metal and grunge as aggressive vocals and relentlessly heavy riffs form a sound they describe as “groovy, chaotic and cathartic.”

Disruption

Introducing: Disruption

We love a good comeback story, and that’s very much the case with Swedish extreme metal supremos Disruption, who describe their sound as “aggressive, energetic whiplash.”

ODC

On The Radar: Code: Marla, Matted & ODC

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.

Light Drawn In

Introducing: Light Drawn In

Canadian band Light Drawn In offer up an intriguing, diverse sound that toes the line between hard rock, modern metal and nu-metal with electronic elements, and they describe as “unique, energetic and organic.”

New Band of the Week: Code: Marla

Kent and Essex-based band Code: Marla started out as a dubstep project but they’re increasingly heading down a path towards nu-metal with a thrilling sound they describe as “high energy vibes.”

New Band of the Week: Cober Mouth

Bristol-based trio Cober Mouth harnesses the aggression of hardcore, the bounce of nu-metal and the weight of metalcore in a vicious nu-metalcore sound they intriguingly describe as “Groovy. Slam. Jackhammer.”

Introducing: Steven Pirois

Australian solo artist Steven Pirois began 2024 with the goal of taking a mass of half-finished lyrics, riffs and musical ideas from the previous 20 years and turn them into something tangible. Fast-forward 12 months, and he’s overdelivered on that goal, churning out three albums since April.

New Band of the Week: Alchemize

If we had to pick two genres that probably wouldn’t work together, R&B and metal would likely be good contenders. But Manchester band Alchemize have fused the two, while taking on the added complexity of having three vocalists.
