Zero 9:36

Philadelphia, PA, US · 2018–present · active
Zero 9:36 is the heavy rap-rock project of Matthew Cullen, whose songs fuse clipped hip-hop delivery with hard rock impact, electronic pressure, and nu metal tension. You Will Not Be Saved introduced a direct, anxious style built around tracks like "Leave the Light On," where fast vocal patterns meet guitar weight and melodic release. ...If You Don't Save Yourself expanded the formula with bigger hooks and collaborations, including the Ice Nine Kills version of "Adrenaline," which pushed the project further into active-rock territory. Later releases such as None of Us Are Getting Out and They Were Always Here sharpened the darker mood, pairing distorted riffs, trap-influenced rhythm, and shouted choruses with lyrics about self-sabotage, anger, and survival. Zero's strength is the way he treats heaviness as rhythmic punctuation. The guitars often land like impacts around the vocal cadence, while the drums and programming keep the songs moving with the urgency of modern hip-hop. The result is compact, confrontational music that can swing from melodic vulnerability to blunt aggression within the same hook.

Škwor

Prague, CZ · 1998–present · active
Škwor are a Prague rock and metal band that grew from late-1990s Czech heavy music into one of the country's durable mainstream hard rock acts. Formed in 1998 under the name Skwar and later adopting the Škwor spelling, the band initially worked with heavier and nu metal elements before settling into a broad rock sound built around muscular guitars, direct choruses, and Czech-language lyrics. The lineup centered on Petr Hrdlička's voice and guitar, with the band's early development tied to local contests, support slots, and a steady climb through the domestic rock circuit. Škwor fit metal scope through their heavy metal and nu metal roots, as well as their continuing hard rock identity. Their albums move between crunching riffs, chant-ready refrains, ballad-like dynamics, and songs that speak plainly to frustration, loyalty, conflict, and everyday pressure. For listeners outside the Czech Republic, part of the appeal is hearing modern hard rock shaped by a different language and market, without losing the universal grammar of big guitars and crowd choruses. Škwor's importance is regional as much as stylistic: they represent a Czech path for post-1990s heavy rock, built through persistence, live work, and recognizably local voice.
