READ MORE: Heriot are ready to raise hellThe British metal band are on this weekâs (September 30) edition of The Cover, a renewal of NMEâs commitment to supporting emerging talent across the globe on a weekly basis. Every week, a rising artist will feature on The Cover â you can read the profile of Heriot here, written by Emma Wilkes and featuring photography by Tom Oxley.
Heriotâs appearance on The Cover follows the release of their debut album, âDevoured By The Mouth Of Hellâ. Accompanying the story is an exclusive playlist that sheds light on what songs inspired the record, by the likes of Korn, Slipknot and Slayer â and Billie Eilish. Listen to the full playlist on Spotify below and on Apple Music.
In their Cover story, Heriot reflect on how the influences theyâve absorbed, from other music and the world at large, have led to the enigmatic, cataclysmic mood of their album. âIf everything was happy and peaceful and good, then weâd probably make really happy music,â vocalist and bassist Jake Packer says. Adds vocalist and guitarist Debbie Gough, âThe world gets more and more grey as you get older â itâs not black and white. How do you navigate that?â
The band also weigh in on the state of metal music, from pop starsâ flirtations with the genre to thriving scenes in both the UK and US. âA lot of people are realising they need something a bit harder or more abrasive and raw in their life,â Packer theorises. âMetal gives that on a plate. Itâs not as commercialised and people are discovering that thereâs more [music out there] than just whatâs in front of them.â
