Darko US
In 2020, amidst the chaos of a global pandemic, Tom Barber of Chelsea Grin and Josh “Baby J” formerly of Emmure, now Spite joined forces to create their metalcore project Darko US – an innovative collaboration that has only grown in strength over time.
Since releasing their debut single “Electric Body” back in April 2020 they have released two albums; Darko (2021) and Oni (2022) and have collaborated with the likes of Ben Duerr (Shadow Of Intent) and Darius Tehrani (Spite), Ryo Kinoshita (Crystal Lake) Kyle Anderson (Brand of Sacrifice) amongst many more.
Time, The Valuator
Drawing on elements of progressive metal, alternative rock, djent and pop, Time, The Valuator create a unique sound that pushes genre boundaries and touches emotionally. Their 2018 debut album, How Fleeting, How Fragile (Long Branch Records), received international critical acclaim and singles like “Elusive Reasons”, “When I Meet Death” or “Vibrant” have since been streamed millions of times.

Insurgent
Finely-crafted and fully mature songwriting belies the quartet’s youth – a foursome who met in music college and who in their short time together have already toured as far afield as Ukraine. Elements of prog metal in the vein of TesseracT and The Agonist meld with stadium-filling anthems not far removed from Alter Bridge, Trivium, and Jinjer.
See Insurgent Live At The Primordial General Mayhem
Saturday 29th April, KK’s Steel Mill, Wolverhampton.

Iman
Originally hailing from Bahrain, Iman is a London-based multi-instrumental alternative musician and songwriter. She writes honest, raw and relatable lyrics over a mixture of Shoegaze and Progressive Alt Rock style riffs based upon a combination of her own personal experiences and general observations of life; often with a heavy dose of metaphor.
Teeth
Born from a musician’s desire to re-envelope their life in the heaviness that is metal and to refamiliarize with a conduit that could be considered detrimental amidst today’s destructive society, the gritty powerhouse that is TEETH emerged from the sludge of a foul generation.
While many bands are enslaving themselves to the algorithm, TEETH simply allows their music to be a conductor for the inevitable pain and violence that is reality.
