Polyphia — INTERFERENCE

✘ POLYPHIA (Instrumental Rock/Prog/Trap - USA)

A Dallas quartet formed in 2010, Polyphia started out in metalcore before evolving into something much harder to name: instrumental rock that borrows just as much from fusion guitar as it does from trap and electro, with a melodic sense that appeals to seasoned guitarists and novices alike. 650 million streams later, their latest album Remember That You Will Die reached number 33 on the Billboard 200 in 2022.

✘ PERTURBATOR (Synthwave/Darksynth/Industrial - France)

James Kent, a Parisian trained in black metal before dropping everything for synths, has been building a dense and cohesive cyberpunk universe since 2012. Five albums with Nuclear Blast, an immediately recognizable retro-futuristic aesthetic, and a knack for selling out venues that few underground electronic artists can claim. His latest album Age of Aquarius was released in 2025.

✘ RJ PASIN (Metalcore/Deathcore/Hyperpop - USA)

A New York guitarist and producer who broke through via TikTok with over 3.4 million followers, RJ Pasin built a massive online fanbase before making the leap to the live stage. Metalcore, deathcore, and hyperpop in a single flow—hard to put in a box. His debut album The Indomitable Human Spirit was released in March 2026 on Isekai Records.
