Just in case you don't know Turisas are the mighty Finnish viking metallers who gave us the phrase 'battle metal'; Deathstars are the Swedish cyber goth metal crew who look like Marilyn Manson's evil twins and drink like Zakk Wylde – carnage-erous; The Zico Chain are the London-based part-punk, part-sleaze, part metal trio who's new album is cutting a swathe through all the lightweight indie shite; and Breed 77 are the stalwart Gibraltan metal heads who's genre-spanning tunes are exciting a new breed of listener.
