Our latest edition of new music from bands we've previously interviewed brings you new rock, metal and punk tracks to get your weekend started. This month, we've got new music by seven bands from Canada, France, Spain and the UK.
Introducing: Symbiontic
German collective Symbiontic combine the brutality of European death metal with the precision and playfulness of their American counterparts in a sound they describe as "like a punch in the teeth, but in a good way" and massive, eclectic and visceral."
GigRadar Fresh Tunes: November 2023
We've gone through new music released in the last month to compile a 40-track playlist update from bands in Australia, Belarus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, the UK and the US. And that comprises a mix of everything from rock, post-hardcore and punk to metalcore, symphonic metal, technical death metal and cyberpunk.
New Band of the Week: Semprus
We were introduced to Guildford band Semprus with the adjectives "brutal, savage and ferocious," so we of course had to delve deeper into the diverse technical death metal meets deathcore sound the band describe as "constant evolving chaos."
Introducing: Ancient Settlers
International band Ancient Settlers have honed an energetic and intense technical melodic death metal sound combining clean and guttural vocals with plenty of guitar solos and synths, which they describe "emotional, aggressive and melodic."
Introducing: Exist In Ruin
International symphonic blackened death metal project Exist In Ruin beautifully combine powerful metal and metalcore with dramatic orchestral elements in a sound they describe as "epic, brutal and symphonic."
Introducing: Invisible Control
Brazilian band Invisible Control came kicking and screaming out of the pandemic in 2020 with an electrifying technical death metal sound that they describe as "heavy, technical and versatile."
Introducing: Pteroglyph
Leeds melodic death metal trio Pteroglyph offer up a fascinating fusion of old school death metal and modern technical metal. It's an approach they delightfully describe to us as "feral and violently technical songs."
Introducing: Godeater
Exciting Glasgow hard-hitters Godeater are a technical death metal band with melody at their core and the biggest issues facing modern society at their soul.
