What does modern metal look like today? The best opportunity to verify this will be September 30 - Proxima club in Warsaw. Northlane, Novelists and ten56 will sweat on stage.

Northlane approach metal in such a way that they go for their own way, they do not care about common sense and they certainly do not fawn over anyone. The group from Australia practices alt-metal in a very carefully arranged form. On the one hand, there's killer catchiness and hummable choruses, and on the other... almost everything. Futuristic electronics, an equally futuristic universe in the non-musical sphere, a lot of industrial, and even djent for good measure. Future is now, that's for sure!

Novelists also focuses on what is contemporary. The French are focused primarily on songwriting, and since it's easy to see their perfectionist tendencies, it's easy to assume that their songs are perfect. From elaborately arranged choruses and cleverly invented riffs to skillfully woven melancholy. Hard work pays off.

ten56. their mission is to wipe you off the face of the planet. Compared to the other two bands, they are definitely the heaviest, furiousest and most bloodthirsty. Drawing on an angry mix of nu-metal and metalcore, they pack punches, keep their guard up and maintain a constant level of weight at all times. It's supposed to be stuffy here, it's supposed to be negative - and it is.
