Inretrospect’s ’Top 10 bands of 2021′

Periphery

They are at the forefront along with few other bands, defining a whole new genre of progressive music and this alone is huge inspiration to us, as well as the music.

Loathe

This is a band coming straight out of Liverpool and one of the most exciting bands from the UK. It’s great to see local music getting the recognition it deserves.

The City is Ours

TCIO are on constant rotation at the InRetrospect camp and they’re latest singles leading up to their album are incredible.

From Sorrow to Serenity

If there’s a band that brings the heavy. It’s FStS, these guys are absolutely killing it.

Lastelle

Lastelle have such an emotionally involved and driven sound that is so unique amongst the UK metal scene right now. Truly captivating.

Silent Planet

Taking a moment to look outside of the UK, Silent Planet are one of the best bands out there speaking about important issues and blending it with incredible grooves and clean sections.

As Everything Unfolds

A incredible example of perfectly blended melodic post-hardcore emerging from the UK. Their most recent album “Within Each Lies The Other” is one of Nathan’s favourite albums of the year.

Borders

Their debut album was absolutely blistering from back to front and has been on repeat since dropping it! We can’t wait for more from them and to hopefully see them on the road in the future!

Spiritbox

This band have cemented their place within all of our playlists. Since they released “Rule Of Nines” they have grown from strength to strength becoming one of the most exciting bands in metalcore right now.

Sleep Token

Since releasing their debut album in 2019 (“Sundowning”), Sleep Token have remained on heavy rotation since we first heard them. Everything about this band is incredible and captivating.
