1) BIRDEATSBABY – HEX
If you’re a fan of post-metal, avant-garde, or British-based culture, then you’re going to love Birdeatsbaby‘s latest single HEX.
A group of musicians called Birdeatsbaby combine elements of rock, metal and cinematic music into an original and striking sound, which is a perfect blend of elements from rock, metal and cinematic music.
With HEX, the title track of Birdeatsbaby’s forthcoming album, Birdeatsbaby showcases their latest infernal song inspired by texts such as the Ars Goetia, one of the most infamous of demonic texts.
In exploring the realms of post-metal, the band has created a sound that is at first celestial, but then quickly escalates into something that can only be described as a living nightmare once the song begins.
The main vocals of the song are provided by Mishkin Fitzgerald who alternates between ethereal melodies and menacing growls during the song’s course.
Garry Mitchell’s guitar riffs and Hana Piranha’s cello arrangements drive a hypnotic, polyrhythmic synth pattern. Anna Mylee’s drum arrangements would sit well with Tool or Porcupine Tree. Cage9’s Evan Rodaniche produces.

Instead of following in the footsteps of others and trying to dominate fields that are already dominated by others, he decided to create his own, unique, and exciting path for fans to follow that will be exciting and new to them.
This album was inspired by the idea of creating a new genre of music that sounded like nothing ever existed before, and that true music lovers would enjoy listening to so much.

They’re an alternative rock band based in London, UK. Their sound is hard rock with influences from noise rock and metal. They have a really unique style
The band’s sound can best be described as an amalgamation of rock genres like punk and metal, with hints of noise rock and alternative rock. If you’re into bands like NOFX or Rancid then this band will definitely be a hit with you!
Their lyrics are like a riot, which makes them very relatable to me when I listen to them, and it will be relatable to you also! Their lead singer has an amazing voice.
They have a crazy way of carrying themselves and talking to the fans (on the good side): ”The barbarity of your leaders who bartered your bliss for power. This made the beasts go berserk, bludgeoning your ears with their bombastic riffs and bestial death screams.” – They shout!
I think this approach is very interesting, and we are experiencing a band with unbelievable talent here, if you love screaming voices and screaming guitars this is for you!

9) BAD ASS BEAUTY – Broken
In the world of alternative rock, there are not a few artists that have a sound as unique as BAD ASS BEAUTY. The artist, based out of Los Angeles, California, creates music that combines hard rock and soul to create an anthem.
When you ask her about toxic, manipulative, obsessive, controlling, abusive relationships, she can write a book about them, maybe a few years down the road she will do that, but for now, here’s a song about all of them combined into one depressing 3 minute and 28 second tune.
The song is heavy on the guitar and drums, but also incorporates soulful vocals and a catchy chorus that will have you singing along in no time.
”Don’t ask me for any love/relationship advice. I have no clue what a decent, happy true love relationship is because I’ve never had one.” – Says the artist.
There are plenty of elements that are dark, emo, uncomfortable, creepy…and it is vocally disjointed and linear in its execution. If you’re interested in checking out more from BAD ASS BEAUTY, visit her website, and follow her on Spotify!

10) GOOD GOD FATHER – Prince Of The Air
Good God Father is an alternative rock band from Sheridan, OR. Their music is a mix of grunge and hard rock with psychedelic and gothic elements, heavy metal riffs, punk beats, thrash metal solos and noise rock vocals.
‘Prince of the Air’ is a dynamic thrash metal anthem about the problems associated with evil as well as empire. We are taking a stab at a subject that has otherwise been dominated by the metal and extreme music genres for a very long time.
In regards to the theme of the Satanic and the demonic, and how those ideas affect the human experience, the track is intended to pull back the veil so that the listeners can see how the sausage is made.
There is a comfort that comes from this song to the tensions between the sacred and profane, holy and unholy, reverent and irreverent just to scream out, “I feel this pressure now.”.
It’s hard to believe that these guys are a small band; their music sounds like it could be played on the radio alongside some of the biggest artists in the world right now.
If you haven’t heard them yet, check out their website, or follow them on Spotify. Also listen to our entire playlist, where this artist and many great ones are featured, you won’t regret it!
