UK Metal Quartet HERIOT Announce Debut Album
The UK's most exciting new heavy band, HERIOT, are proud to announce their long-awaited debut album. Devoured by the Mouth of Hell will be released 27th September 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 comment:
"‘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 their 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 have since supported Lamb Of God, Thy Art Is Murder, 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 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 Nails, Knocked Loose, Code 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 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".

Jake Packer - Vocals/Bass
Debbie Gough - Vocals/Guitar
