It’s been a while since our last update, but that doesn’t mean the Caribbean scene has slowed down. Quite the opposite!

Our current Caribbean champions A Burning Rose and former champions, LEFT-ÖVR have been hard at work in the studio, recording their highly anticipated next albums. Meanwhile, last year’s runner-up MOTHS continue to make waves on the road, recently opening for Avenged Sevenfold at the Coliseum in Puerto Rico! Another incredible milestone!

Big things are happening across the region, and this is just the beginning. Stay tuned for more news from the Caribbean bands pushing the scene forward. 🤘🍻
