Having already accumulated 108k streams on Spotify and YouTube alone across just a handful of singles, we think its fair to say that Brighton Alternative Metal quartet Sypha are a band riding the crest of a wave after just twenty four months in the game. Building on that, the summer of 2024 saw them reach
There is nothing quite like a DIY or DIE approach that pulls on the heart strings when it comes to the Underground Metal scene. Who needs a fancy studio, expensive producer and shinny new equipment to record their cryptic writings when learning the craft and doing it all on a laptop in your back bedroom
Originally conceived in 2023 as a Black Metal project with Thrash and Speed Metal leaning riffs, Veenlijk (or “Bog Corpses“) evolved with the addition of members with past lives in the Dutch Punk and Post-Hardcore scenes.

Hailing from Gothenburg Sweden, Medusian is a new Symphonic Death Metal project founded on a principle. Every song is an original story built upon a foundation of heavy guitars, fast drums, intricate bass, expressive vocals and massive orchestration to create expressive soundscape where the band’s stories can be told. Comprising bassist Richard Swärd (Art Nation, Ominum,

The five piece wanted to avoid a
In the skull of mastermind Ryan Struck, calling his band Scary Hours “Political and Introspective Punk from New Jersey” makes perfect sense. But often reality is stranger than fiction, something which came to light in 2022 when we reviewed their album “Symptoms of Modern Hegemony“. A mash up of fast 80’s Hardcore Punk like Minor
