Fast-rising British metallers Heriot have shown once again why they're one of the most exciting young metals bands in the game with a deightfully heavy new single. Titled Siege Lord, it's a lurching, grinding monster full of guttural low end and the bowel-churning roars of singer Debbie Gough. The single follows last year's Soul Chasm as the latest glimpse of the Swindon four-piece's next chapter, and was recorded with Sylosis and ex-Architects man Josh Middleton and Fit For An Autopsy guitarist/metal producer extraordinaire Will Putney.
"Siege Lord is a track we feel expands on our previous releases, leaning heavily into the more metallic elements of our sound," comment Heriot. "It’s a visceral yet atmospheric track. Lyrically, Siege Lord contemplates the fragility of soul searching."
Listen to Siege Lord below. Heriot were recently announced as support on the frighteningly badass-looking Sylosis and Fit For An Autopsy co-headline European tour, also featuring US melodic death metallers Darkest Hour. See the full list of dates for that trek under the video.
