Artist 1:
Vollition//Impulse
Song - "Exsanguinate"
I asked Vollition//Impulse, "what makes your band unique?" This is what they had to say;
"We are a dual-fronted (female and male mixed) melodic nu metalcore. We incorporate a plethora of elements from all of our respective inspirations. Sultry and powerful cleans with aggressive and ominous screams."
A bit more about Vollition//Impulse (taken from their Spotify):
"Formed in 2024, this dual-fronted five piece hails from Savannah GA and the surrounding area. Each V // I member contributes aspects of their own respective musical influences such as Spiritbox and Invent Animate, with subtleties from an early era of rock music such as Linkin Park.
With a love for melody, while maintaining aggression, this cohort brings a high impact live show to mimic the high energy music they write and release. In their music you can be sure to find evocative, intricate lyricism coupled with complex, yet listenable instrumentals sure to give you a visceral reaction."

Artist 2:
ÆMBR (Budapest, Hungary)
Song - "EDEN"
I asked ÆMBR, "what makes your band unique?" This is what they had to say;
"We're a fresh new band from Budapest, Hungary. We took time to find the sound we can identify ourselves personally and show the "best" side of us. Musically we're pushing boundaries by mixing electronic music with metalcore/nu-metal/modern metal elements. Our debut Single EDEN (released Jan 29) is a taste what we want to show the world. It's a bit in the Northlane/Thornhill/The Plot in You vein, very EDM driven."

EVERBLOOM (Rochester, New York)
Song - "The Luxury Of Decency"
I asked EVERBLOOM, "what makes your band unique?" This is what they had to say;
"We are really focused in on modernizing the posthardcore sound from the early 2000s"
A bit more about EVERBLOOM (from their Spotify):
"EVERBLOOM is an emo/melodic hardcore band from Rochester, NY, formed in the summer of 2025 consisting of members of the progressive metalcore outfit Aphasia. EVERBLOOM crafts a fresh and intricate sound by blending the lyrically charged elements of emo, the dissonant instrumental textures of progressive-metalcore, and the raw passionate energy of melodic hardcore. Their music resonates with fans of Casey, Being As An Ocean, Silent Planet, Static Dress, mewithoutYou, and Invent Animate. Lyrically, the band explores themes of addiction, mental health, relational turmoil, isolation, and the enduring fight to overcome personal darkness. EVERBLOOM is not just a band, but a cathartic outlet forged in vulnerability and delivered with unrelenting intensity."

Artist 4:
Dead Within Days (New York)
Song - "The Cutting Edge"
I asked Dead Within Days, "what makes your band unique?" This is what they had to say;
"DeadWithinDays is a metal quintet emerging from the NY music scene, delivering Metalcore you wish you heard of sooner, while also demolishing the handicap stigmas of the world. THE WORLDS FIRST BLIND LEAD METALCORE BAND! Drawing influence from classic metal, Hardcore punk, with nostalgic vibes of 2000s metalcore. DWD plans to make a bold statement in the modern metal genre by showcasing a blazing blend of melodic riffs, blistering vocals, and a flare of technicality and authenticity. Dead Within Days stands as a beacon of resilience and accessibility by converting life's hardships into art, and embracing the differences between us all and delivering a fresh dynamic, with a powerful message: To embrace the disarray of life and keep moving forward."

Artist 5:
Trauma Therapy (Charlotte, NC)
Song - "Fix My Heart"
I asked Trauma Therapy, "what makes your band unique?" This is what they had to say;
"We are a band that advocates for mental health but also we tell the stories of our traumas in our songs in hopes that each one we write is relatable to someone else going through it, or something similar. Our first song of many is called Fix My Heart and it depicts our lead singer in a very vulnerable situation going through therapy and the start of his healing journey. As long as it helps someone realize they arent alone, or the only one going through it, maybe it will give them help and hope that they need to keep pushing forward"
More about Trauma Therapy (from their Spotify):
"Charlotte, NC based metalcore/rock band! Formed in 2022 by frontman, Chris Carrington. The project is new to the scene, but the members are not. Comprised of four members, Chris, Ayden Augustine, Travis Ely, and Aaron Kirkland, Trauma Therapy aims to connect with its listeners through their music relating songs based off of real life experiences and the events that have caused us trauma. The bands inception in early 2022 reignited a burned out flame with Chris, as he went on a mission to record and write new music. No one track sounds the same, as he set off to collaborate with several different producers such as Colt Crevar (Forever May Fall) Pangea Creative Group (Killakoi), Cody Weissinger (The Funeral Portrait) just to name a few. "We hope to break some barriers of every genre with our music, and we love the experimental aspect collaborating with different producers each time. It really allows us to explore our true potential and maximize our creativity to provide the best results we can" says Chris. With the addition of Ayden, Travis, and Aaron each member brings their own special talents and powers to the table, opening up new ways to explore music."
