Heavy Metal Underground

The Best Of Underground Singles You May Have Missed in January

Phil Demmel

As part of our monthly underground round up, I'm here to bring you all the best from smaller bands we featured on the site this past January!


CONTRACULT COLLECTIVE

This LA-based industrial band throws it back to the good old days of rivet living and leather whipping, while bringing a fresh new metalic perspective that feels so damn good! They just released two tracks on Roadrunner Records, here is their single "Hogtied"


ABRAMS

Abrams will be releasing their debut, Modern Ways, and it is chock full o riffs and good times that ride the line between post rock and alternative metal in the best way.


Ritual Dictates

Containing members of Revocation and ex-3 Inches Of Blood, you really have no idea what to expect from this killer blackened melodic death prog creation that will infect your head with a tune you won't forget.


CAGE FIGHT

Tesseract's James Monteith completely re-wrote the script of what to expect from a musician when he released his hard core crossover band Cage Fight, and if you're into a pummeling good time, you ought to check it!


HUNTSMEN

Huntsmen released a crunchy new progressively mind bending song, "Ride Out" and it's getting us super stoked for their upcoming album Mandala of Fear out March 13th!


Phil Demmel

Ex-Machine Head guitarist Phil Demmel and drummer Dave McClain recently revealed they had some music sitting around, and recruited Bleeding Through's Brandan Schieppati and Megadeth's Dave Ellefson to give it a proper send off.


TĒTĒMA

The electronica band featuring Faith No More wild man Mike Patton just released their crazy new track "Haunted On The Uptake" and it's every bit of odd you'd come to expect!


VOLUMES

Volumes dropped a crazy groove machine of a track titled "Holywater" last month, and was rejoined by original vocalist Michael Barr to bring it to life.


SAUDADE

Their latest single "Lions" features none other than Lamb Of God's Randall Blythe lending his signature screams on the the track to create a very different feel for an already mixed bag sonic journey into the unknown, from this musical collective. Grab a digital copy of the song here.


THE AMITY AFFLICTION

The band will release their new album Everyone Loves You… Once You Leave Them on February 21, and dropped a melodic banger to whet that appetite. Check it out below.


TRAUMA

This Polish death metal unit will release their new record Ominous Black on March 6, and we got to stream their crushing new track "Inside The Devil's Heart" which you need to spin now!


Barishi

It's been four years since we've heard new Barishi tunes, but that ended with the release of their blistering new track "Blood Aurora" off their upcoming release Old Smoke.
