modern groove metal

Many bands make metal drawing inspiration from what has gone before, but San Antonio-based Within The Giant’s Reach make music courageously drawn from the present, inspired by the reality of the world that surrounds them.

Theirs is a firestorm of fury, a searing sonic symphony of songs from the heart dealing, in songs likes “Scars” and “Faceless” with such subjects as bullying and internet trolls. Overall with songs like “Rise” and “The Summit”, Within The Giant’s Reach make music of strength, self-belief and empowerment, which will all be featured on their debut EP “In the Beginning” set for release on May 11th, 2018.

Swedish-based metal band Kill The Kong releases the full-length “Colossus” as follow-up to last year's self-titled debut album.

The new album, which will be the first in collaboration with Gain / Sony Music, will be released on November 24th, 2017.

Before the full length, consisting of ten tracks, the singles “Juggernaut (Wolfpack)”, “Snake Eyes” and “The Antagonist” with accompanying music videos during the summer and fall signaled for what is expected when “Colossus” is released to the public.

Kill The Kong is a Swedish rhythm based Metal/Hardcore band formed in 2015. With seven members including two singers and a percussionist their music is influenced by several different bands in the harder genre, such as Slipknot, Architects, Parkway Drive, Upon A Burning body, Every Time I Die.
 
They released their debut album during the summer of 2015 and now it's time for their second album. The album will be released in the end of 2017 by the Swedish record label Gain (Avatar, Europe, etc.), which the band recently signed with.
 

Dutch metallers Onegodless announce the release of their debut album “Mourner” on June 9th, 2017.

The CD is coming with earplugs, as the album is best to enjoy on volume at 11. The album is produced by Robin Zielhorst & Tymon Kruidenier (Cynic, Exivious, Skeletor, Codex). Mixed and mastered by Tymon Kruidenier and the artwork is made by GutsArt in cooperation with Zielhorst.

Isolation has most certainly bred inspiration in the shape of Slagduster. Hailing from Grand Forks, B.C, the band is name after a slang term local to their area for a piece of machinery that was used in the mines over a hundred years ago.

“We are the only four musicians in our small town driven to form a progressive metal band”, says vocalist Shane Sherman.

Inspired by such giants as Goijira, Sikth, Meshuggah, Dillinger Escape Plan, Between The Buried And Me, Slagduster offer a progressive, groovy, creative, unique and heavy sound.

Montreal, QC's Closer To Found bring melody, heart, and intellect to their music; their dual vocal approach gives an individual edge to their sound, which transcends their influences of Bring Me The Horizon, Issues, Norma Jean, Vanna, and Underoath, overall they are best described as “heavy, groove-driven metalcore”.

Their 10 track debut album “Always Just As Lost” was released during November of last year and has seen the band consistently touring and unleashing music videos such as “Remember When” and “Ashes” in support of the release.

Just about 2 months to February 24th, 2017, the day My Kingdom Music will release “Sacred / Scared” the debut album of the female fronted extreme metal band 5Rand.
