This band from Gothenburg in Sweden is one the metal fans out of our readers may find pretty interesting!
Their name is BatAAr and they started their activities in 2010.
Since they have a nice biography on their Official Facebook Page, I'm going to copy this for you:

BatAAr is a band from Gothenburg, Sweden, who strive to constantly renew themselves. Their music has been described as everything from alternative metal and djent to deathcore and electronic punk, but the only fitting label the band can think of is 'Art Metal'.

Seb (Twitter, Facebook), as an experienced and energetic frontman, merges everything from bloodcurdling screams to ethereal and painfully honest melodies with all the emotion his versatile voice can muster. Guitarists and bassist Patrik (Twitter, Facebook), Guitarist Simon (Twitter, Facebook) and Bassist Felix (Twitter, Facebook), all of them composers, bring their own different music tastes and backgrounds into the blend, focusing on elaborate song structures and thought-out personal styles of playing which creates a unique and complex sound, all to the extremely precise and creative drumming of Tobias (Twitter, Facebook).

Next to their Facebook Page, their Twitter Account and their Youtube Channel, the band has got a Facebook Group for their fanclub called "BATAARMY" as well!
For their Discography, please check out BatAAr's Last.fm page.

The members are:
Kota Tsukimoto : Main Vocal / Backing Guitar
Robert "Luobei" Luo : Bass
COHEI "The Spoken One" Hattori: Lead Guitar / Back Vocal

Last band for today is called Esprit D'air from London, UK, formed in 2010. I'm sure many of you have already heard of them, since they're very popular!

Here's a short description from their HP:

Esprit D’Air are a hard rock band highly influenced by the musical subcultures of both Japanese and Western rock. Their sound is unique and fresh in its ability to fuse hard-hitting aggression with melodic interludes and blistering guitar solos.

Based in London, Esprit D’Air are right in the heart of the current UK “J-rock” revival scene and have quickly garnered a cult following with their charismatic performances reminiscent of a young X Japan, and a style that can only be described as: “Shibuya meets the Sunset Strip”!

Esprit D’Air’s transcultural appeal has allowed them to lyrically experiment with both Japanese and English songwriting and, as a result, provide rock fans with something new and different within the current live music scene.

Members are:
海斗 (kaito) : guitars / composer / leader (TWITTER)
エリス (erisu) : bass / composer (TWITTER)
大志 (daishi) : drums / composer / illustrator
ヨシ (yosh) : lead vocals (TWITTER)
