The Learning Curve

The Learning Curve

The Learning Curve is a section of ThePRP dedicated to up and coming talented artists. We hear countless new bands each week and as such, we will be showcasing the cream of the crop here in this section. Updated regularly, a variety of bands will always be on display here for those who are looking for something new and fresh.


Twin Zero
Official Website:
www.twinzero.net
Label:
Undergroove Recordings
Location:
????, UK
Similar To:
Earthtone9, Tool, Isis

Audio:
"Earthbound"

Twin Zero:
With former Earthtone9 vocalist Karl Middleton at the helm you just know Twin Zero will break down some walls and a few eardrums in the process. True to form, the band deliver an endearing sonic pummeling built upon weighty posturing and complex song structures. With their debut album "Monolith" already making waves in the UK, one can only hope that the ripple effect becomes strong enough to bring it over to North American shores.


Official Website:
www.bynightonline.com
Label:
Lifeforce
Location:
Falkenberg, SWE
Similar To:
Meshuggah, The Haunted

Mp3's:
"Between The Lines"
"Unseen Oppression"

By Night
By Night:
These Swedish upstarts have managed to combine some of the best elements of the unique metal their native country has to offer with bone-splintering results. With Lifeforce Records behind them and a devastating record by the name of "Burn The Flags" in stores now, Sweden has yet another thing to be patriotic about.


Feersum Ennjin
Official Website:
www.feersumennjin.com
Label:
Silent Uproar
Location:
Los Angeles, CA
Similar To:
Jane's Addition, Tool, Self

Audio:
"Dragon"

Feersum Ennjin:
Tool bassist Paul D'Amour returns with help from members of Self-fame to create a stunningly lucid EP heavy on instrumentation and expressionism. Dreamy, sonically challenging and cathartic in nature, the band successfully deliver material that bridges the gap between Failure and Tool.


Official Website:
www.screamsoferdia.com
Label:
Independent
Location:
Burlington, MA
Similar To:
Lamb Of God, Unearth

Mp3's:
"American Terrorist"
"Scorn"

Screams Of Erida
Screams Of Erida
Massachusetts has pretty much become to metalcore what Seattle was to grunge. One of the latest offspring from the Mecca of all that is mosh is Screams Of Erida; whose vicious brand of aural aggression comes complete with the production talents of Unearth's Ken Susi. Back to the pit you go.


Contra
Official Website:
www.contralovesmetal.com
Label:
Corporate Punishment
Location:
Ventura, CA
Similar To:
Norma Jean, Converge

Audio:
"Presence"
"Heart"

Contra:
If you have yet to learn the Konami code, you better get to it quick as you'll probably need 30 lives to survive the brutality in store on Contra's upcoming Corporate Punishment debut. With Logan Mader of Machine Head/Soulfly fame onboard to produce and a recently retooled line-up now in place, some serious firepower is sure to follow.
