5 Great South African Metal Bands You Need To Hear

5. Treehouse Burning

With one of the most distinct and explosive metal approaches in the entire South African metal scene, Treehouse Burning could be destined for big things. For fans of Converge and Alpha Wolf, Treehouse Burning have already made a great name for themselves thanks to releasing a number of great tunes since their emergence in 2017.

Over the past four years, they have managed to accumulate quite a formidable following for an underground, unsigned metal band. Instead of commiting to full length studio albums, Treehouse Burning have been gradually releasing one ferocious single after another, almost like clockwork. The latest of which, ‘Suffocate’, was released just a few days ago and already generating quite a buzz on streaming services.

Treehouse Burning are a prime example of what the dangerously underrated South African metal scene can offer. In turn, songs like ‘Floating Donuts’ and ‘Endless’ bring to light exactly what the band can offer to the scene in return.
