GORE.

AZ, US · 2023–present · active
GORE. build metalcore around emotional exposure as much as impact. Led by Haley Roughton with guitarist Alex Reyes and bassist Devin, the band arrived with A Bud That Never Blooms, an EP that frames femininity, family strain, grief, and self-denial through crushing riffs and unusually theatrical melodic turns. "Pray," "Babylon," and "Heaven Is Above Me" show how the project shifts from detuned low-end pressure to fragile clean vocals, choral atmosphere, and sudden breakdowns without making those contrasts feel pasted together. Roughton's voice is central: she can sound wounded, confrontational, devotional, or furious, often using melody to make the heavier moments hit harder. The band also pulls from nu metal, shoegaze, and post-metalcore textures, giving the songs more shadow and space than a straight breakdown-driven approach would allow. Later tracks such as "Sepsis" lean further into that dynamic range. GORE.'s strongest material feels personal before it feels polished, using heaviness to expose pain instead of simply decorating it.

Graphic Nature

Kent, England, GB · 2019–present · active
Graphic Nature are a Kent-based nu metalcore band whose music turns psychological pressure into a dense, hostile sound. Emerging at the end of the 2010s, the group developed a style built from low-tuned riffs, industrial texture, electronic noise, screamed vocals, and breakdowns that often feel abrupt and suffocating. Their records a mind waiting to die and Who Are You When No One Is Watching? show a band focused on anxiety, trauma, dissociation, and the darker mechanics of self-perception. Songs such as "White Noise," "Killing Floor," "Into the Dark," "Sour," and "Human" connect nu metal's rhythmic bounce with the weight and precision of contemporary metalcore. Graphic Nature fit metal scope directly through heaviness, genre, and live context, while the electronic elements sharpen the sense of unease rather than softening it. Their strongest material is claustrophobic by design. The guitars hit like machinery, the vocals sound cornered, and the production leaves little air, making the band's music feel less like release than confrontation with the inside of a panic spiral.
