Run With The Torch

Lately I’ve been listening to a cluster of metal genres who are all the offspring of industrial metal, these are Tech-, Math- and Cyber- metal. And mostly crossovers between these sub-genres with others and often progressive and experimental.

Here’s a list of bands I truly enjoy and suggest you to have a listen to.

• myGRAIN: Melodic Death with some Cyber metal
• Black Comedy: Melodic Death + Cyber + Industrial
• Sybreed: Cyber + Industrial
• Sikth: Progressive Math(core)
• Periphery: Progressive Math(core)  + tech
• Animals as Leaders: Progressive + instrumental + experimental + math metal
• Hacride: Progressive Death + Tech metal
• Eths: Female Fronted Metalcore + Industrial

And offcourse the usual suspects such as Fear Factory, Gojira, Dedicted, Textures etc…

These are just a selection, look em up on Last.fm to find more of the likes of these.

Also worth noting; not so long ago the new band Arkaea released their debut album Locust, who you might ask? Well these lot are Fear Factory’s Christian and Raymond teamed up with Threat Signal‘s Jon Howard.
