With a debut album due out in 2021, Fellowship have been hailed as the future of power metal by some of the best bands in the genre, and have the musical chops to live up to that standard. In the words of the great Herman Li, they’re “upliftingly awesome!”

IRONSIDE
IRONSIDE, formed in 2021, are a progressive metal story-telling band.
This three-piece from the West Midlands, UK sets out to take their audience on a tonic journey on the wings of heavy prog metal riffs, melodic synth and tender vocal moments. Orchestral support inspired by their own piano compositions adds an oft pompous cinematic aspect to support the scale of some pieces.
