Silent Planet
Silent Planet is a metal band from California formed in 2009; known for their unique fusion of story-telling lyrics and modern metal, the band returns with a new chapter set against a backdrop of bleak cinematic soundscapes. After nearly a decade of relentless worldwide touring, the band entered the studio in the summer of 2020. On their upcoming full length IRIDESCENT, the band explore themes of grief, impermanence, and the timeless nature of love. Blending the traditional sonic staples of heavy music with inventive electronic elements and intentional sound design, Silent Planet create an immersive world sonically, all while lyrically and thematically unraveling the tale of album titles:
"The Night God Slept, Everything Was Sound, When the End Began, Iridescent. . ."
SeeYouSpaceCowboy
Every single song SeeYouSpaceCowboy have released since forming in 2016 has been deeply rooted in the life experience and trauma of frontwoman Connie Sgarbossa. It's one of the things that makes the San Diego band's music so compelling and visceral, because those oftentimes harrowing experiences flow through its veins. Whether that's existential anguish, substance addiction or suicidal ideation (and attempts), Sgarbossa has never been afraid to detail her pain and torment in excruciating detail. She holds nothing back, and combined with the band's intensely dark (and darkly intense) blend of sasscore, punk, mathcore and metalcore, it's always made for profound and devastating listening. Coup De Gr�ce is no exception to that rule. The band's third album, it follows on from 2019's The Correlation Between Entrance And Exit Wounds and 2021's The Romance Of Affliction. But unlike those two records, which were unadulterated, no-holds-barred accounts of her life at the time, Coup De Gr�ce takes a different approach to its lyrics. Rather than Sgarbossa baring her most private and innermost thoughts for all to hear, on these 12 songs they're funneled through the lives of fictional characters within a noir-inspired world of the singer's invention.
Like Moths to Flames
LIKE MOTHS TO FLAMES have set the underground music scene ablaze in just a few short years, thanks to a decidedly unique, fresh and original take on an otherwise well-worn genre. Stomping sing-a-long anthems, pulverizing metal chaos and crystal clear/soaring shiny pop dance together with delicious freedom within the band's sound. Bring Me The Horizon, Devil Wears Prada and Miss May I are some of the only bands doing it at the same level of intensity, precision and passion as Like Moths To Flames, who have taken their rightful place alongside their scene counterparts while steadily maneuvering a career that is uniquely their own.
