Keeping up with new rock and metal bands and artists isn't always easy, especially with bands that haven't yet been discovered by the general public. As part of Wikimetal's mission to strengthen our community and showcase new talent, we've compiled this list of the best discoveries we've made recently on Groover, a music curation platform.

Killing in Apathy
Hailing from Texas, the band Killing In Apathy aims to "bring something new to the metal scene" by blending elements of deathcore, metalcore, and hardcore, adding a dash of melodic metal to the surprising combination – and the result can be seen in the intense and powerful "Across the Flashlight Beam".
Alaska
Intensity and a powerful chorus. These are two characteristics that define well the sound of "In Search of Lost Time", a track from the debut album by the French alternative metal band Alaska , called Subsequent (2016).
With no new releases since then, the band is currently working on their second album.
After Us
Classic hard rock and metal (with a touch of glam) meet in "Get Out," a single from the French band After Us . Despite the grandiose, 80s-inspired vibe of the track, the band cites Alter Bridge, Linkin Park , and In This Moment as some of their main influences.
Solar Mantra
Formed in 2017, the Italian stoner rock band Solar Mantra is preparing to release their debut album with "Monster From The Abyss," a track about the masks people wear when interacting with society.
