Description:

The foursome of the Swisse heavy (avantgarde / atmospheric) groove metal band Herod are artists who have true in-depth understanding of the musical paradigms of the scene theyâ??re a part of, and use that intel to create something truly special; â??Iâ??m obsessed with late 90â??s Meshuggah, early Dillinger Escape Plan and early Cult Of Lunaâ?, explains guitarist Pierre Carroz deftly about the influences behind the sound of his brainchild. Combining the sonic agility of the American mathcore pioneers with the relentless ferocity of the Swedish progressive metal innovators, Herod produce a brand of heavy music that is truly face melting. Having played with legendary metal acts like Obituary, Napalm Death and Carcass, Herod are no strangers to the international metal scene, and it shows in the calibre of their music. Their upcoming third album â??The Iconoclastâ? puts the full power of their artistry on display, redefining musical heaviness and atmosphere at every turn imaginable. â??The Iconoclastâ? comprises an unsettling vision of the future - aptly captured by Benedikt Demmer on the album cover - with the slight promise of a new future in mind. Carroz: â??Every destructive act is in itself a creative act of transformation. Recreating something new out of broken elementsâ?. Indeed, destruction and obliteration are in the bandâ??s nature, going by the Swiss quartetâ??s previous outings, but the new album is also an act of the highest form of creativity. Contrary to the iconoclasts of old, Herod have created an effect beyond destruction, ushering you into a new world beyond the known. -
