Green Witch + Terbium + District 13 + Silen

Green Witch – beautiful big ass thumpy drums and stylishly screeching guitars over pround, probing bass… this is some really swaggering metal…metal, more or less-  although GW like to describe themselves as ‘a 4 piece alternative rock band.’ Terbium –  ‘progressive metal’ they say, certainly floats between speedy thrash and more convoluted passages…beasting drums and twisty turny bass,…they sound more like Rush gone math rock on their single ‘Hey Ya’- not that Hey Ya…a 7 minute epic where singer Carine takes things into neo folk realms with her vocal. Great musicianship throughout must be said. District 13 – Sabs oriented hard Rock riffmeisters who calm it all down on ‘Forever this way’, current single on Curtain Call Recs, with some mountain glade hewn acoustic folk rock meditation almost a la CSN & Y. Silken – Hard crunching three piece power metal experience with some nice psychedelic shoegaze trippy touches…not afraid to be progressive and misty eyed and a little drifting, but ‘Kerrang’!…always returns to the granite hard rock base.
