First time at BA
With their debut album "Devoured by the Mouth of Hell", UK powerhouse Heriot have set a new benchmark for intensity and artistry in contemporary metal. Known for their crushing sound and atmospheric depth, the band – Debbie Gough (vocals/guitar), Erhan Alman (guitar), Jake Packer (bass), and Julian Gage (drums) – meticulously crafted the album over nearly a year of writing and recording. Working with a dream team of modern metal luminaries, including producers Josh Middleton (Sylosis, ex-Architects) and Will Putney (Fit for an Autopsy, End), they’ve created a dense, oppressive, and diverse masterpiece that pushes their sound into bold new territory.
Heriot’s unrelenting drive is audible in every track, balancing abrasive heaviness with moments of vulnerability. This dynamic range reflects the intense pressure they felt, channeling their ambition and fear of fleeting success into their music. "Devoured by the Mouth of Hell" cements Heriot’s position as one of metal’s most compelling rising stars, poised to become a defining force in the genre.
