Beyond Creation's First Song in 8 Years + 7 Underground Metal Bands You Need to Hear — reacting to new music from Barrage, Intent to Harm, Guhn Twei, and more. Full metal reaction breakdown inside. (199 characters)
In this episode of Metal Maniacs, we're reacting to 8 brand new tracks spanning the full spectrum of metal and hardcore — from Canadian Grammy-nominated tech-death veterans Beyond Creation dropping their first new single in eight years, to underground acts fighting for their first real shot.
We cover Beyond Creation's comeback single "Reverence," Kansas City heavy outfit Barrage's claustrophobic new single "Closing In," Australian death/hardcore project Intent to Harm and the incredible true story behind founder Matt Turkington — a musician who lost the ability to perform extreme vocals after multiple back surgeries and taught himself guitar while recovering, flat on his back. We also dig into politically-charged French-Canadian metal/punk band Guhn Twei (two-time GAMIQ Metal Album of the Year winner), Georgia rockers Perrish 9, hard rock band Whisper to Scream, tech-death act Omittance, and DIY teenage garage band Desolate.
This is what The Metal Maniacs is all about — giving underground bands a real platform alongside bigger names, breaking down the songwriting, production, and stories behind the music, and helping you find your next favorite band before everyone else does.
