The search for the best new music in the UK has led me to discover Liverpool metal band, Quandrant. And I have to say, it’s a shame these guys have not garnered much widespread attention because judging by their debut EP – Elements – they are seriously talented.

Over the course of 4 cool progressive tunes, the record has so much to offer: terrific riffs, sick bass lines, some damn good drumming, great vocal work, hypnotic melodies and addictive choruses, with the highlight undoubtedly being the opening title track, which brings out the best of this combination.

A smashing little EP from a humble and heavily underrated band, one that has injected a welcome breath of fresh air in the country’s metal scene.
