Metal Underground

[Graveless Soul]

Assuming people hunt down and have an interest in unsigned bands. What are your top three unsigned/underground bands at the moment that deserve a record deal?

Prodigal Son (power metal from mexico)
Nocturne (L.A. BM)
Imagika (SF thrash) they have had associations with various labels, but they deserve one that will promote them properly.
Deadfood (wierdos from Burbank. Jazzy, noise, grind, acid rock, bizarre-o wierd shit. Not sure if they are still around but a demo from a year ago was great)

Also, anyone else heard of PORE? I got a demo of this french band about a year an a half ago (though it was done in 98 or so) and it's amazing! Its a combination of harsh BM, techno, cold industrial, dance (!), and neo-classical guitar virtuosity, with a dab of dark-ambience. Phenomenal album that is one of the harshest, coldest sounding albums I've ever heard. The demo is called De Profundis, BTW. Their site hasnt been updated in a LOOOOOOOONG time, and no responses to my e-mails have been recieved...anyone have ANY info, by chance? Thanks!-Sadistik

October Thorns - extremely talented and original progressive metal act from Brooklyn, but unfortunately their leader left just as the band was close to getting a contract. Their entire six-song demo is available at www.mp3.com
