The UK's most exciting new heavy band, HERIOT, is proud to announce its long-awaited debut album. Devoured by the Mouth of Hell will be released on September 27th via Century Media.
Accompanying the album news, HERIOT today have released their Hadean new single 'Foul Void', recorded with Josh Middleton (Sylosis, Architects) and GRAMMY Award-winning Will Putney (END, Fit For An Autopsy, Better Lovers).
The band commented: "‘Foul Void' was one of the last tracks written for our debut album, Devoured by the Mouth of Hell. Sonically influenced by '90s and early 00’s metalcore, the song delves into the inner struggle of an individual facing uncertainties about their faith."
HERIOT's debut album will continue its ascendancy as the pre-eminent new force in the UK heavy scene. The new single 'Foul Void' follows 'Siege Lord' and late 2023's 'Soul Chasm', the first two glimpses of new material following their signing with Century Media and support shows with Architects in summer of 2023.
HERIOT's debut EP Profound Morality (2022, Church Road Records) catapulted the quartet into the global spotlight, with praise worldwide and a debut, sold-out, headline tour across the UK. The band has since supported Lamb Of God, Thy Art Is Murder, and Rolo Tomassi and performed to packed tents at Download Festival, 2000trees, Wacken Open Air, Bloodstock, Mystic Festival and many more, gathering a legion of fans in the process. They have since followed Profound Morality with the ferocious standalone single 'Demure' (February 2023, Church Road Records).
Fully focused and with a razor-sharp edge, the awe-inspiring double-vocal attack of Jake Packer and Debbie Gough is all-conquering; the titanic support of Erhan Alman (guitar) and Julian Gage (drums) is rock-solid.
HERIOT has deservedly been grabbing attention with all four pairs of hands, weaponising metallic sludge and hardcore, unholy levels of distortion, speed, and gut-punching talent. Elements of Nails, Knocked Loose, Code Orange, and Vein. Fm combine and collide to an exhilarating effect, creating a sound that is truly groundbreaking and fully worthy of the notice the band is achieving.
In their short recent history, HERIOT has caught the attention of Pitchfork, The Guardian, Metal Hammer UK, Rock Sound, Brooklyn Vegan, Kerrang!, Revolver, and Knotfest, among many others, heralding the quartet as "one of the most promising young bands in modern metalcore", and "probably the best new metal band in Britain".
