ARIMEA
ARIMEA unleash a refreshingly raw approach to nu-metal, weaving the elements of 90s and early-2000s sounds that first inspired them into their already well-established take on modern alt-metal. The band have crafted a heady brew of nu-metal, alternative rock and progressive metal, with shades of hardcore and hip-hop thrown in for good measure, that promises to be your new favourite sound.
Since the release of their tech-heavy debut EP 'Castle Bravo', and the subsequent ethereal 'Wish' EP, ARIMEA have brought their high-energy live performances to venues across the UK, such as the O2 Oxford Academy alongside Chapter & Verse and Press to Meco. Through the powerful, energetic vocals of frontwoman Whitney Cooper, which flow seamlessly with ferocious guitarwork and crushing drums, ARIMEA have gone from strength to strength, amassing a respectable following of loyal fans.
newshapes
newshapes is a brand new project conceived by former members of Withdrones, WORLDEATER and Borderline, set to unleash a series of hook-ridden, pop-fuelled alt-metal singles. The band has designed its own universe around the releases, which is to be shared and constructed through a series of comicbooks, music videos and interactive assets connected by thorough, emotive storytelling in an iconic visual style which is unmistakably their own. Debut single ‘echoes’, released on April 1st 2022, combines soaring synths, layered vocals and infectious choruses with driving guitars, intricate patterns and heavy-handed breakdowns; a blend of fresh, modern pop production with arena-sized metal that makes newshapes an act sure to feel at home in the library of any music lover.
