HERIOT comment: "We’re beyond thrilled to be a part of Trivium’s Ascend Above the Ashes tour on our first adventure into the US. We’ve all been huge fans of the band from a young age and we’re very grateful to have this opportunity".

HERIOT's first tour across the ocean sees the young UK quartet continue their ascendancy following the smash success of their incredible debut album Devoured by the Mouth of Hell (Century Media, 2024).

'Siege Lord': https://youtu.be/771l_1Tpzkk
'At The Fortress Gate': https://youtu.be/Oa6SICQj_Mo

Devoured by the Mouth of Hell was recorded and produced by HERIOT's Jake Packer with Josh Middleton (Sylosis, Architects) and mixed and mastered by GRAMMY Award-winning Will Putney (END, Fit For An Autopsy, Better Lovers), with additional engineering by Justin Hill (SikTh, Betraying the Martyrs).

NMEKerrang! and Upset magazine cover stars, Devoured by the Mouth of Hell has been critically acclaimed worldwide as the breakthrough metal album of the year. Celebrating the release, HERIOT performed an intimate album release show in Bristol on 27th September, which instantly sold out. Following the album release, HERIOT have since been on the road in the UK and across Europe supporting Fit For An Autopsy and Sylosis, alongside Darkest Hour.

In April HERIOT celebrated their album release with their UK headline tour across five sold-out dates, including a show at London's iconic The Underworld.

HERIOT's debut album continues their ascendancy as the pre-eminent new force in the UK heavy scene. The album 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 have since supported Lamb Of God, Thy Art Is MurderRolo 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 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) rock-solid. 

HERIOT have 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 NailsKnocked LooseCode Orange, and Vein.fm combine and collide to exhilarating effect, creating a sound that is truly groundbreaking, fully worthy of the notice the band are achieving.

In their short recent history HERIOT have caught the attention of NMEPitchfork, 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".

HERIOT are:

Jake Packer - Vocals/Bass
Debbie Gough - Vocals/Guitar
Erhan Alman - Guitar
Julian Gage - Drums

”The album represents change, a new beginning,” says guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Niklas Karlsson. “It brings up a lot of good and bad emotions but it’s a big change for the better. It feels like a rebirth.”

Hailing from the small town of Eksjö, Sweden (located between the revered metal cities of Gothenburg and Stockholm), the quartet (guitarist and vocalist Niklas Karlsson, guitarist Richard Hansson, bassist Fredrik Lennartsson and drummer Christopher Wallerstedt) have grown into a global force, melding together riffs that are equal parts thrash, death metal and industrial with arresting hooks and a layered atmosphere that invites comparison to Gojira, Metallica and Static-X while carving out something that is uniquely their own.

Orbit Culture’s 2023 album Descent and their subsequent EP release The Forgotten topped many year-end lists in 2023, including Metal Hammer who described the album as: “a formidable entwining of modern metal’s most effective and exciting strands into an impressive milestone.” Exhaustive worldwide touring and a steady stream of crowd-pummeling festival slots across the globe, have set the stage for something much larger. 

Orbit Culture are a band poised. They are the sound of metal in the most modern sense.

LIV SIN announce new album Close Your Eyes; sign to Seek and Strike

Swedish modern metal band LIV SIN have signed a worldwide record deal with Seek and Strike for the release of their new album, Close Your Eyes, set for release on 8th August. 

Fronted by Liv Jagrell (ex-Sister Sin), LIV SIN blend aggressive riff-driven metal with soaring melodies, steadily building their presence on the international metal scene.

The album’s title track, 'Close Your Eyes', is streaming now and offers a first glimpse of what fans can expect from the new album. Tackling the harrowing subject of human trafficking, the song features a guest performance from Lars Palmqvist of Scar Symmetry. The album was mixed by the renowned Tue Madsen, known for his work with Babymetal and Meshuggah.

Watch the video for 'Close Your Eyes' here: https://youtu.be/HzmNFS0atRc

Pre-save here: https://orcd.co/livsincye

LIV SIN states: “We chose the album’s title track, ‘Close Your Eyes,’ as the first single/video for mainly two reasons. We got the amazing vocalist, Lars Palmqvist from Scar Symmetry, to join us, and the song has a straight up melodic chorus that everyone was instantly hooked on.

"The song also has a darker edge to it, since it covers the topic of human trafficking.
Liv got the idea for the lyrics after watching a documentary about people being tricked into trafficking across eastern Europe. 

"In the video, we tried to recreate the feeling of being all alone in a dark room with different strangers coming and going. 
Liv sings and screams out her inner frustrations reflecting on the world today with a deep longing for a better world."

A dynamic five-piece born from the ashes of Sister Sin, LIV SIN deliver a sound steeped in modern metal, melodic hooks and uncompromising intensity. Since their formation, the band has built a reputation for soul-stirring live shows and an authentic connection with fans.

Alongside Liv Jagrell (vocals) are Per Bjevoluk (drums), Daniel Skoglund (bass), Sonny Larsson (lead guitar) and Ante Mäkelä (rhythm guitar), each bringing unique musical influences and personal passions to the table, from painting and folk music to animal rescue, yoga and music education. Their collective energy is channeled into creating cathartic anthems for a global audience.

Rooted deeply in Swedish culture, several members of LIV SIN are dedicated to preserving the nation’s rich tradition of folk music, community art and craftsmanship. Sonny is an accomplished folk guitarist and painter, while Ante works in cultural education, championing the music and arts institutions that have helped define “the Swedish music wonder". Their love for traditional sounds and storytelling often seeps into their songwriting and creative aesthetic.

Driven by purpose and powered by riffs, LIV SIN are not only forging new paths in heavy music, they’re carrying pieces of Sweden’s cultural soul with them along the way.

Psychonaut announce new album World Maker and unveil first single, 'Endless Currents'

Belgian psychedelic post-metal masters Psychonaut return with news of their highly-anticipated new album World Maker.

World Maker is due 24th October via Pelagic Records - and, in celebration of the news, the trio have unveiled the first glimpse of the record, with single 'Endless Currents'. 

Watch the video for 'Endless Currents' here (premieres 18:00 BST 12th June): https://youtu.be/x2lxwwzkLCM
Pre-order World Maker and stream 'Endless Currents' here: https://orcd.co/psychonaut-worldmaker

The traditional, three-piece line up of Belgian, psychedelic post-metal collective Psychonaut has long belied the compositional prowess, captivating narrative depth and crushing live presence of a band now operating at the forefront of forward-thinking, contemporary heavy music.

A record born of insurmountable joy and simultaneous profound loss; World Maker marks a time of great change for Psychonaut, both personally and musically, as the band burn away the philosophical narrative complexities of previous offerings with a searing, panoramic clarity that implores us to savour the beauty of the now as a means of leaving a legacy for the future.
 
The seed of World Maker took shape just as the campaign for previous record Violate Consensus Reality came to a close, with the news that guitarist/vocalist Stefan De Graef was to become a father. This tilting of life’s axis led De Graef, like most fathers-to-be, to re-assess what was really important. As such, the music he was inspired to write felt free of the band’s previous philosophical and spiritual foundations and instead took the form of life lessons for his unborn son, a legacy of love in case something were ever to happen.
 
This hopeful euphoria shines keenly throughout World Maker as an uncharacteristically optimistic warmth; from the reverberating Rhodes organ on the titular opening track and the meandering, free-jazz inspired guitar solo that introduces ‘Everything Else is Just The Weather’ to elements of world music, electronica and the otherworldly voice of Dutch multi-instrumentalist and old friend Anthe Huybrechts (Anthe/Helion Creek) most notably on tracks like ‘Origins’ which also features tabla, a pair of indian hand drums, as its propulsive heartbeat.
 
Whilst Psychonaut’s giant riffs, punishing polyrhythms and guttural vocal rage are more resplendent than ever, there is a wider dynamic spectrum to World Maker that sees the band proudly exploring their more delicate, intimate extremes as well as their most aggressive and abrasive. Not long after the birth of De Graef’s son came the devastating news that both his own father and Psychonaut bassist/vocalist Thomas Michiels’ father had been diagnosed with advanced cancers. Living day-to-day and torn between joy and grief, the band found themselves shedding the grand scope and world-shattering agenda of Violate Consensus Reality to focus on the here and now.
 
Lead single ‘Endless Currents’, the first full track on the album, explodes in a barrage of staccato guitar tapping but mellows to let the powerful, newly pared back lyrics ring out as a call to embrace the flow and follow joy. The song’s final few words ‘Lead the way. / Soar. / Everlong.’ double as both a greeting and a goodbye as the trio build their formidable post-metal might to a thunderous breaking point.
 
Amidst such turbulent times, the band found strength and support within their post-metal community. The album was recorded and produced by the band alongside their long-time collaborator and close friend Chiaran Verheyden (Hippotraktor) with help and advice from Psychonaut’s live engineer Victor, who will no doubt make this album sound just as awesome on stage. Even the artwork for World Maker was a family affair, being designed by close friend Sam Coussens of Belgian cosmic sludge metallers Pothamus.
 
In the face of life’s soaring highs and desolate lows, World Maker is direct and brave without sacrificing any of Psychonaut’s raw power, creative innovation or inimitable musical depth. Where their previous full-length offerings have charted grand introspective courses through time and space, World Maker is breathtaking in its uncompromising clarity: a father singing to his newborn son as a son bids his own father farewell.

Having sent a shockwave through the post-metal and prog scenes with their three times repressed Pelagic Records debut Unfold The God Man in 2020 before following it up with the transformative metaphysical complexities of 2022’s Violate Consensus Reality, Psychonaut have played prestigious Belgian open-air festivals like Alcatraz, Rock Herk and Boomtown Festival as well as boutique events such as Soulcrusher, Roadburn Redux and A Colossal Weekend whilst sharing stages across Europe with the likes of Amenra, Brutus and Pelagic labelmates The Ocean and PG.Lost.

Profiler release highly-anticipated new single 'Waste'

Profiler are thrilled to release their highly anticipated new single 'Waste', continuing to redefine nu-metal. Following the success of 2024’s debut album, A Digital Nowhere (SharpTone Records), the band is busy in the studio working on its successor. 

About the powerful and dynamic single 'Waste', vocalist Mike shares: “'Waste' is a track that discusses the theme of manipulation within relationships. It’s based around discovering your own self-worth from the stillness within. We tend to overlook the external environment which creates suffering. It is only when we have suffered enough, we finally realise everything we are seeking is already within ourselves.”

Listen to 'Waste': https://profiler.ffm.to/waste

Watch the music video: https://youtu.be/Eznpcf4usU4

Profiler’s nu-metal-grunge-alt-rock sound is for anyone who misses or missed the contagious nineties Seattle grunge movement, or the explosion of nu-metal that dominated the 00s and the genre-bending bands they made a path for. 

The band is known for unforgettable live shows and has previously opened for bands such as Memphis May Fire, Monuments, Vower and joined Vended for all 34 shows on their EU tour. 

Profiler will shortly be performing alongside Northlane and Whitechapel at the following dates:

16/06 Electric, Bristol
17/06 O2 Academy, Islington

Tickets available here.

Tallah put experimental spin on their nu-core roots with new single 'augmented'

Photo Credit: Vanessa Valadez

Following the chaos of their last two singles, Tallah return today with 'augmented' - a brutal, groove-heavy offering that throws back to their nu-core roots while flexing the wild experimentation that defines their upcoming album Primeval: Obsession // Detachment, out 5th September via Earache Records.

Stream 'augmented' here: https://earache.lnk.to/augmented
Watch the video to 'augmented' here: https://youtu.be/0A98cl_rwkQ

Pre-order Primeval: Obsession // Detachment here: earache.com/tallah

Max Portnoy comments: "In the studio, we wanted to use Josh's VHS camera to film some cool content, and we decided on 'augmented', as it was the first song we jammed together as a unit for this session. It was the song that really got us situated and in the right headspace for this record, so it made sense to film the studio video of this track."

He continues: "Probably the most ‘nu-core’ track on the record. It feels very reminiscent of where we came from but still steps into the sonic world of Primeval, with acoustic guitars and live strings at points. The experimentation is sprinkled on every song this album. I also wrote ‘augmented’ at the peak of my slap bass interest, and it made for the most intricate bass track in our discography. So many weird techniques crammed into this one. It’s a bitch to play."

The new track is Tallah at their most rhythmically unhinged—toggling between jagged grooves, acoustic breaks, and dense basswork that cements Max’s evolution as one of heavy music’s most creative rhythmic masterminds. Paired with Justin Bonitz’s raw, one-take vocal performance and a recording process that scrapped all editing and click tracks, 'augmented' captures the primal, chaotic energy that’s earned the band over 29.7 million Spotify streams and 66 million YouTube views to date.

Like its predecessors 'What we know' and 'A primeval detachment', 'augmented' also ties directly into the album’s layered sci-fi narrative. The concept follows two characters, Ana and Sheelah, on a morally destructive journey across an alien world. Fans can dive deeper into the lore through The Primeval Game, a playable story-world that’s updated monthly with new clues, song teasers, and narrative expansions. Explore the game, built in collaboration with Enzo Interactive at primevalgame.com

Primeval: Obsession // Detachment arrives 5th September via Earache Records. Tracked completely live with no edits or safety nets, it’s Tallah’s most dangerous and defining work to date.

Primeval: Obsession // Detachment is a concept album rooted in narrative and boundless in scope. Set on an alien planet, it follows Ana, a nurse, and Sheelah, an assassin—two strangers pushed to the brink of their morality by the same mysterious group of beings. Their journeys spiral through tests of belief, identity, and loyalty, building toward a finale laced with twists, dualities, and mirrored consequences.

Architect of the exceptional and intricate world-building Tallah have become known for on each of their albums, vocalist Justin Bonitz shares: Primeval: Obsession // Detachment is a concept album taking place on an alien planet. The story follows two characters, Ana (a nurse) and Sheelah (an assassin). Both are approached by the same group of beings, who ask the main characters to each perform a task that will test their values and push their morals to the limit before ending with twist after twist. The album explores morality, duty, personal beliefs, duality, and understanding one's place in society.”

Tracked live in Michigan with longtime producer Josh Schroeder, the record captures Tallah in their purest, most unhinged form. No click. No edits. No polish. Just instinct and execution. It also sees founding member, Max Portnoy, making a major creative shift from drums to bass and Justin recording the vocals for the whole album in one, continuous take.

Providing further context, Max shares: “For me, this album is Tallah finding our voice. During the writing process, no boxes were in place. No rules were set. Whatever felt uniquely us, that was what made the cut. I'm not sure how to even label this record's sound beyond 'Tallah'. It's weird. It's experimental. It's driving, and energetic. It's raw. We recorded live, every instrument at the same time, with no click. That's how we play shows, so why would we record differently? This album also marks my first recording dedicated to bass. I translated my drum knowledge to a new instrument and it was a huge creative breath of fresh air for me.”

For vocalist Justin Bonitz, the experience was equally intense. "I practiced for months and was able to record the entire album in one huge, continuous take with no edits or redos or anything! And I was recovering from pneumonia! Nobody is gonna believe me! It was honestly the highlight of my entire vocal career. I was unsure if I could pull it off, but I went into the booth, grabbed an SM57, turned off the lights, and whatever happened happened. I think it feels more intimate and naked with all the flaws and imperfections, which is perfect for the raw, organic sound of this album."

From mirrored track titles to reversed riffs, Primeval: Obsession // Detachment is Tallah at their most deliberate and deranged. It’s a labyrinthine listen made for close listening and repeat immersion. As with everything they do, the chaos is crafted, and the madness is methodical.

Primeval: Obsession // Detachment arrives 5th September via Earache Records.

Emerging from Pennsylvania in 2018, Tallah fuse the percussive force of second-generation drummer-turned-bassist Max Portnoy with the unpredictable dexterity of vocalist and viral phenom Justin Bonitz and the phenomenal guitarist duo of Derrick Schneider and Alex Snowden to form a sound that’s part brutalist nu-metal, part theatrical meltdown, and entirely their own. What began as a raw homage to the early-2000s metal they were raised on—Slipknot, Korn, Linkin Park—has since evolved into something far stranger and far more singular.

After making waves with their 2020 debut Matriphagy, a twisted concept album soaked in trauma and noise, the band were hailed by Knotfest as delivering “one of the best metal releases of the year” and by Metal Hammer as “leading the charge on the new wave of nu-metal.” The follow-up, The Generation Of Danger (2022), saw them push their hybrid sound further into chaos—earning millions of streams, high-profile festival slots, and nominations at both the Heavy Music Awards and AIM Independent Music Awards.

But it’s on album three, Primeval: Obsession // Detachment (out 5th September 2025 via Earache Records), that Tallah truly shatter what’s left of the mould. Decamping to Michigan to record the entire project live with longtime producer Josh Schroeder, the band abandoned edits, clicks, backing tracks, and rules. What remains is pure instinct—feral, volatile, and unrelentingly human.

To date, Tallah have clocked up 29.7 million Spotify streams and 6 million YouTube views.

Swedish metalcore outfit ADEPT unveil explosive new single / video

Photo Credit: Pontus Gustavsson & Martin Öberg

Swedish metalcore heavyweights ADEPT continue their triumphant return unleashing the heartfelt and groovy hook-laden new anthem 'YOU' alongside an official music video. Following the release of their crushing comeback single 'Heaven', which marked their first new music in nearly nine years, 'YOU' dives deep into the emotional wreckage of love lost, with swelling, cathartic guitar leads and honest, bleeding heart lyricism.  

Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/o-e0HAjD-pQ

Stream here: https://lnk.to/Adept-YOU

The band first re-emerged in 2024 with a breathtaking live appearance at Core Fest in Stuttgart, Germany, igniting the stage, and thrilling fans with a powerful display of fury and fire. Now with two new singles under their comeback belt, ADEPT has their foot on the gas, and show no signs of slowing.

The band comment: “‘YOU’ is a classic breakup song built around the lingering ‘what if’ - a reflection on love, loss, and how time eventually swallows everything. It’s probably our most accessible track so far, combining a catchy topline with heavy riffs in a way that still feels true to our sound. We had a lot of fun experimenting with new elements on this one, and we’re incredibly proud of how it turned out.”

This new visual arrives on the heels of ADEPT’s recent announcement of their 20 Year Anniversary Tour, marking two decades of explosive live shows and heavy-hitting anthems. The tour features an extensive run across major cities in Europe and the UK, kicking off in Berlin, Germany on 27th November. 

UK dates:
02.12.25 UK - Manchester / Club Academy
03.12.25 UK - London / O2 Academy Islington

Originally formed in the early 2000s in Trosa, Sweden, ADEPT played a pivotal role in shaping the early European metalcore landscape. Known for their explosive live energy, the band quickly rose through the ranks, earning international acclaim and touring alongside genre giants like A Day To Remember, Underoath, and Bring Me The Horizon. Now entering a bold new chapter, the band stands ready to once again leave their mark on the global metalcore scene.

With major festival appearances across Europe and new music on the horizon, 2025 marks the beginning of an exciting new era. Make sure you don’t miss ADEPT live to celebrate this glorious comeback.
