Cosmic Ninja never fail to leave an impression with their high-octane mash up of alternative and electronic sounds.
They like to shout about politics, equality and all things queer!

Blending nu metal with rap rock is our number 12 entry, Southampton's These Septic Stars.

The closest to the '90s that this list gets, the band feels like something of a blend between Korn, Limp Bizkit and Faith No More. Easily the greatest takeaways from any These Septic Stars show, song, EP or otherwise are the fast-as-lightning vocal delivery of frontman Savage LoK and the slap-bass style of the four-string maestro, Jonathan "Fishi" Salter.

In fact, going through These Septic Stars' oeuvre, these guys do feel very nu metal-ish. From the nicknames to the on-stage half-casual-half-costumed get-up (as shown by Fishi wearing a mask as he smacks his bass around) to the bass-orientated, hip hop-inspired sound, it feels like the bygone days of Hed PE and Drowning Pool are back in full swing whenever you blast out a little Septic Stars.

Thenationalstudent.com 4 stars review-

Bassist Jonathan Salter’s slapping style of playing is guaranteed to impress audiences, while the band’s vocalist – simply known as ‘Savage LoK’ – delivers an interactive and passionate performance, encouraging the audience to dance and scream along to their visceral music and energetic delivery.

While they may play a style of metal that might turn away hardcore fans, in reflection, These Septic Stars are – like them or not – the most memorable band of the night. The rapping, the heavy, djent-infused riffs of Thomas Moore, the playing and attire of Salter (who for some reason wears a gas mask throughout the entire set), and the manner in which the band interacts with its fans all stick in the brain.
