HERIOT Pay Tribute To 90s Death Metal With New Single “Commander Of Pain”

UK post-metalcore unit Heriot have unleashed their latest single, “Commander Of Pain,” a track that serves as a full-force homage to the 90s death metal era.

Vocalist/guitarist Debbie Gough explained the inspiration behind the song, stating:

“‘Commander Of Pain‘ is an ode to 90’s death metal. This is a song born of the inspiration we’ve gained from playing live alongside many different genres of metal bands. We wanted to write a track paying tribute to our favourite aspects of heavy music.”

The single was produced by Erik Bickerstaffe (Loathe) and mixed by Randy LeBoeuf (Kublai Khan TX, Gideon).

The release arrives as Heriot continue their North American tour supporting Trivium and Jinjer, before heading back to the UK and Europe for a run with Fit For An Autopsy, Sylosis, and Darkest Hour, and later joining SikTh to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Death Of A Dead Day.
