Microraptor

Striding the lines between post-hardcore, metalcore, and alternative metal, Microraptor is the offspring of vocalist Ben Wilson and guitarist Alex White. Inspired by everything from <a href="spotify:artist:6vwjIs0tbIiseJMR3pqwiL" data-name="Beartooth">Beartooth</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:38LdIuxB548zgHoEY2AN7a" data-name="While She Sleeps">While She Sleeps</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3ZztVuWxHzNpl0THurTFCv" data-name="Architects">Architects</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:7rZJ1D1ERxrHNKTWwpZFVU" data-name="AVOID">AVOID</a>, to electric acts like <a href="spotify:artist:1WNoKxsp715jez1Td4vthc" data-name="Electric Callboy">Electric Callboy</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7MqnCTCAX6SsIYYdJCQj9B" data-name="Pendulum">Pendulum</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:31jvzuB4ikftPQZJwrYfCF" data-name="Enter Shikari">Enter Shikari</a>, the duo bring a high energy, crushing sound, and a dream of mosh pits as far as the eye can see.

Featuring a programmed drum kit, synthesisers and the guest vocals of Milly Farouki, their debut single <a href="spotify:track:6GlnG45WwCn98e91cYpP4F" data-name="Anybody Out There">Anybody Out There</a> skirts the boundaries of pop punk and alternative metal to deliver a powerful sound. Subsequent releases (<a href="spotify:track:3jMvCOPjDnYHZaoyuj88dP" data-name="The Measure of a Man Is the Rate He Runs His Mouth">The Measure of a Man Is the Rate He Runs His Mouth</a> and Blitz) incrementally strive to push production quality and brutality ever higher.
