Why should major label bands be the only ones who get love? Unsigned & Streamed is a column where we stream a song from an unsigned band we at Metal Insider really dig.
This week, we’re excited to showcase .Gyre. from the New York/ New Jersey area. Comprised of former members of Junta and Thy, this five piece group joined forces about a year ago to push their creative bond even further. After spending most of their time rehearsing and writing, .Gyre. self-recorded and released their debut self-titled EP in December of 2011. .Gyre.’s fresh take on progressive metal reminds us heavily of Gojira with a thrash kick to it. So without further ado, give the song “Evacuate,” the first track off of .Gyre,’s self-titled EP, a listen in the stream below.
