- 2 Bands starting with the letter E, my choices are:

# 1) Eths

Style: **Metal / Metalcore**
Country: **France**

This barely known and obscure band was love at the first sound, for me. 😍

As soon as I heard the **addictive intro riffs** of the song **[Crucifière](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S97oUM_fjs8)** I loved it... and when **Candice Clot started singing in French with such a sweet and melodic voice, I knew I had found a hidden gem**.

Around the 1 minute mark, **Candice switched to growling vocals**... and I was addicted.

Unfortunately, Candice left the band in 2012... and that was the beginning of the end of this great band. Still, they have **3 excellent albums with Candice Clot on the vocals** and a 4th good album with **Rachel Aspe** as the lead singer.

However, the fans of the band truly adored Candice. With Rachel on the vocals, their success faded away... and they decided to call it quits on 2016. 😞

Here's **[Crucifière](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S97oUM_fjs8)**, the song that got me addicted from the very first second...

As a curiosity, **Rachel Aspe was discovered during the auditions of France's Got Talent, with this performance that left the judges shocked:**

I love the faces of the judges when she started to growl!!! Simply hilarious! 😂

# 2) Expellow

Style: **Metal / Hardcore**
Country: **Switzerland**

**Expellow was a band which I had never heard about when I went to one of their concerts in Lenzburg, Switzerland**, very close to their hometown.

What an amazing discovery. These guys are fast and furious and **Mik Dean** has the **perfect vocals and punk attitude** that makes this band a great one! Although they are **super underrated**! 🤔

Their lyrics are superb and very anti-establishment. Here's a small example, from the song **[Heavy Rain](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3EKTKaJgX4)**:

> You call that making music? We call it prostitution!
> Nothing wrong with being loud. But act the way you scream about!
> You don't want to sell this out. Go out there, kid... and make it count!

Unfortunately, there's no videoclip for that song, so I leave you with another of their excellent songs, called **[Game Insane](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrKl3vFi7Pw)**:

I hope you have enjoyed these bands. 😈
