20 Unsigned Metal Bands Everyone Needs To Hear

12. These Septic Stars

Blending nu metal with rap rock is our number 12 entry, Southampton's These Septic Stars.

The closest to the '90s that this list gets, the band feels like something of a blend between Korn, Limp Bizkit and Faith No More. Easily the greatest takeaways from any These Septic Stars show, song, EP or otherwise are the fast-as-lightning vocal delivery of frontman Savage LoK and the slap-bass style of the four-string maestro, Jonathan "Fishi" Salter.

In fact, going through These Septic Stars' oeuvre, these guys do feel very nu metal-ish. From the nicknames to the on-stage half-casual-half-costumed get-up (as shown by Fishi wearing a mask as he smacks his bass around) to the bass-orientated, hip hop-inspired sound, it feels like the bygone days of Hed PE and Drowning Pool are back in full swing whenever you blast out a little Septic Stars.
