Zu Träumen wecke sich, wer kannDornenreich
They’re an alternative rock band.
It’s a style I personally love—the wistful melody, the clean sound design free of unnecessary noise, and the song’s development all showcase a high level of quality.
It’s a track I definitely want you to listen to at least once.
AfterglowOur Ceasing Voice
This is a track by a cutting-edge post-rock band.
From the intro to the ending, it’s meticulously focused on atmosphere, with attention paid to even the smallest details.
The main rock section evokes the vibe of the later periods of both LINKIN PARK and LUNA SEA.
Stoned WallART BOYS COLLECTION
It’s a track by a psychedelic band.
It’s a ballad, but the song is extremely well-crafted, and I think even people who aren’t very interested in the genre can enjoy its vibe.
You can hear the quality and storytelling in the sound—it’s a great piece that feels ready-made for films or visual works.
Chapter IVEstatic Fear
They’re a band that falls under categories like epic metal, melodic metal, and symphonic metal.
Their emotive melodies are wonderfully pleasant, and even people who don’t usually like metal could enjoy that aspect alone.
If you’re into symphonic metal like Rhapsody, you’ll definitely love them.
GravityHUNGER
They were featured in an overseas article as an epic band, but they’re one of those groups that’s hard to categorize by genre depending on the song.
This track, however, has the feel of a pop ballad.
It’s the kind of sound that’s been hitting big in K-pop, and I think people who like artists such as Justin Bieber will be able to take to it easily.
Der Mann Mit Dem KoksStahlhammer
It features a hard rock sound with catchy, pop-friendly melodies, giving it a classic rock vibe.
The music video is filled with a suspicious atmosphere, depicting scenes of making dubious drugs.
The work places strong emphasis on storytelling, so even if you don’t understand the lyrics, I think you can enjoy it through the visuals alone.
The Moment Is NowEdenbridge
They’re a band with a classic hard rock sound.
The vocalist is female, but the band has a commanding presence and a quality you can listen to with confidence.
I personally think they epitomize true, straightforward hard rock with a broad appeal—something even people who usually only listen to pop or dance music can enjoy and grow to love.
