Collisions crashed onto the alternative scene with the self-release of their debut single ‘Once Weary Eyes’ in the middle of 2011. Forcing together elements of Melodic Metal, Punk, Drum and Bass and Dubstep, they produce a distinctive and heavy sound that will compel you to move.

They are an impaction of rapid pulse-raising noise, crafted and layered to achieve something truly fresh. Collisions seek to blur the lines between digital and analogue, combining the raw power of distorted guitars and the rigid perplexities of digital synthesisers, to create a sound that is high octane and unique. Expect ambient synthesiser breakdowns, machine gun vocals and heavy grooves that lead into melody-driven choruses that will burn themselves onto the back of your brain. If comparisons need to be drawn, quotes of “Skindred meets Pendulum” and “Prodigy meets Arctic Monkeys” are uttered from the lips of stunned and sweaty gig goers leaving a show.

Cypher16 are a hugely talented, innovative organic rock band, who fuse electronic and metal influences with hints of industrial to create their own unique musical mix.
Having toured in the UK, Europe, India and America, Cypher16 have played with the likes of Lacuna Coil, Children Of Bodom, Mudvayne, Dark Tranquility and In This Moment
..
The ‘Determine‘ EP was released in April 2013 by Metal Hammer Magazine and has received further rave reviews, with the debut album expected early 2014. Cypher16 have recently played at this year’s Bloodstock Festival, featuring Slayer, Lamb Of God, Anthrax and many more, and off the back of their performance have been invited to play at Hammerfest 2014 (Kreator/Soilwork/Overkill), as well as several other festivals around the world which are still to be announced.

RSJ are a five piece metal band hailing from York, UK that have firmly etched their chaotic and brutal, energy ridden live shows deep in the underground metal scene.

Hailing from Portsmouth, five piece hardcore dub steppers Seething Akira are a highly motivated band who are determined to show the world their style. These guys breathe new life into an increasingly growing underground scene. Their primary influences are blatant, with hooking beats like The Prodigy and an unique style like Enter Shikari, this band create something personal but show the ability of becoming front runners in an ever growing popular genre.
