20 Unsigned Metal Bands Everyone Needs To Hear
6. Skyharbor
Probably the most well-known band on this list, Skyharbor has already released two amazingly proggy albums, both of which were unleashed on Basick Records. However, they remain on this list as they are currently independent, set to release full-length number three in 2017 without a label.
Originally a bedroom project for Indian guitarist Keshav Dhar, over the past ten-plus years the band has evolved from a casual solo outfit to a niche international sensation, having had members from not just India but also the US and UK throughout its history.
As for their music, it's perfectly ambient prog, blending the softer end of the likes of TesseracT with acts like Plini and Nick Johnston. For those who want a little metal without all the machismo and petulance, this is where to go.
