Band of the week 27/2025
Origin: Munich, Germany
Genre: Hardcore
Hier geht’s zur deutschen Version.
The band about itself:
DRØVER is a five-piece metal/hardcore band from Munich. With a sound that is both brute and relentless, their music is a sonic assault that pushes the boundaries of the genre.
Editorial commentary:
Hard riffs, brutal shouts, in your face dynamics. Combine all this, throw it in a blender, and you get DRØVER, the finest Munich hardcore with DIY essence.
With socially critical lyrics, lyrics about problems such as domestic violence, depression and the like, DRØVER perfectly embodies hardcore and at the same time creates an atmosphere at live shows that is unparalleled in the underground hardcore scene. Brutal pits, crowd killing and stage dives. Everything you’re looking for at an underground hardcore show, you get at DRØVER.
Discovered at the Family&Friends Fest in Ingolstadt, I almost immediately took the band to my heart and added all the music available on Spotify directly to my playlist. Defined by their hard riffs and shouts and in your face dynamics, combined with an old school Knocked Loose energy with a splash of Paleface Swiss, DRØVER deliver what I’ve been looking for from German underground hardcore for a long time and combine all of this perfectly.
Also live DRØVER are an absolute recommendation, which has already been discovered by Heaven Shall Burn, so that they are allowed to support Heaven Shall Burn on their release show in Memmingen.
