Dead ButterfliesArchitects
Architects are a rock band energizing England’s metalcore scene.
Formed in 2004, they had been steadily building their career, but in 2016 they faced a crisis when their lead guitarist, Tom Searle, passed away from cancer.
One of their standout songs born from such experiences is Dead Butterflies.
Its sweeping, grandiose intro leaves a strong impression, and from start to finish the track maintains a serious, strikingly cool melody.
TyphoonsRoyal Blood
Royal Blood is a rock duo formed in Brighton, England, in 2013.
Compared to the legends, their career can still be considered relatively young, but they’ve already earned recognition from many artists, even serving as the opening act for Foo Fighters in 2015, just two years after their formation.
The work I’d recommend from them is Typhoons.
Be sure to check out its cool intro that evokes the vibe of glam rock.

Por amor al odioRafael Lechowski
Rafael Rekowski, a rapper from Spain.
He was originally born in Poland, but due to severe domestic instability, he moved to Spain with his mother when he was young, and he says he experienced poverty from an early age.
Though he’s a rapper, he’s a straight-up, decent person who hasn’t gotten involved in anything dangerous or criminal.
Because of that, his words carry tremendous weight.
He’s the very definition of a real rapper.
One of his masterpieces, Por amor al odio, is a stylish work that blends jazz and rap.
The coolness of the intro leaves ordinary jazz in the dust, you know?

Although he is originally from Vietnam, he is currently active mainly in France and is among the top talents in the French R&B scene.
His hit song “Trop Fresh” is a classic R&B production—highly sexy and groovy.
The intro, with a touch of neo-soul, is crafted to be sensuous as well, so if you’re a fan of Black music, be sure to check it out.
