The Iconoclast

Description

The four members of heavy (avant-garde/atmospheric) groove metal band Herod are artists with a deep understanding of the musical paradigms of the scene they are a part of, and they use that information to create something truly special. “I’m obsessed with late-90s Meshuggah, early Dillinger Escape Plan and early Cult Of Luna,” explains guitarist Pierre Carroz about the influences behind the sound of his creation. Combining the sonic agility of American mathcore pioneers with the relentless ferocity of Swedish progressive metal innovators, Herod produce a brand of heavy music that truly melts faces. Having played with legendary bands like Obituary, Napalm Death, and Carcass, Herod are no strangers to the international metal scene, and it shows in the quality of their music. Their upcoming third album, "The Iconoclast", showcases the full power of their art, redefining musical heaviness and atmosphere at every imaginable turn.
