BLACKGOLD
Ever find yourself yearning for a renaissance of nu metal's golden age? Meet BLACKGOLD. An anonymous quintet of troublemaking misfits, brought to life within "remand centres and community service programmes", they're attempting to spearhead a revolution. Taking the power back within a swaggering flurry of riffs, bars, and old school nu metal magic - get behind them or get out of their way.
RELEASE: 'It's Art', self-released. Out now
CAGE FIGHT
In a world of uncertainty and frustration, we all need somewhere to vent, and that's exactly what Cage Fight are about. With members including Tesseract guitarist James Monteith, the quartet channel their anger into songs that pay homage to the rage of the thrash metal and hardcore they grew up with, providing a defiant antidote to our modern age anxieties.
RELEASE: 'Cage Fight', Candlelight Records. Out May 13
FES
Pushing the sonic unpredictably of math-rock through an infectiously melodic pop filter, this UK trio are here to shake up their scene. Displaying their virtuosity through slick tempo changes, grooving bass lines, and glossy vocal sections within songs that capture the nostalgia, grief, and struggle of human existence, FES are proving that music sounds best when it's made without compromise.
