10 Punk, Rock And Metal Bands You Need To Hear Right Now

8. Give Up To Failure

Give Up To Failure are a gothic metal band from Wroclaw, Poland who, with the release of their debut album "Burden", have shown they're a band deserving of far more attention than they've received to date.

Released in September 2020, "Burden" displays a masterful grasp of mood and tension with the band using a mixture of echoing gothic vocals and filthy, grime encrusted instrumentals to evoke a powerful feeling of despair and impending doom.

It's an album best enjoyed in a single sitting with each song a long drawn out experience ebbing and flowing from beginning to conclusion. For fans of doom or post-rock and metal, this won't be a problem but it might put some less patient listeners off initially.

Stick with it though and you'll be rewarded with some crushing riffs, haunting synths, shrieking guitar leads and spooky '80s horror vocals. Give Up To Failure are definitely worth keeping an eye on.
