While a relatively young band in terms of time since formation, British metal outfit Heriot boast an impressively mature sound. Uncompromisingly heavy, their debut EP Profound Mortality packs in eight tracks of unbridled chaos, driven chiefly by the one-of-a-kind vocal partnership of Jake Packer and Debbie Gough, but also by the stellar electric guitar work of guitarists Gough and Erhan Alman. Utilising elements of sludge, hardcore and modern metalcore, Gough and Alman drop tune their guitars and lay waste to Profound Mortality with a barrage of brutal riffs, which help bolster the already savage vocals of frontman and bassist Jake Packer.
