He Is Legend

Wilmington, NC, US · 2001–present · active
Wilmington, North Carolina's He Is Legend defy easy categorization, lurching between southern-fried hard rock, sludgy stoner grooves, and progressive post-hardcore with Schuylar Croom's wild, theatrical vocals tying it all together. Albums like 'I Am Hollywood' and 'White Bat' showcase a band that thrives on unpredictability, equal parts Queens of the Stone Age and Every Time I Die.

Heriot

Swindon, England, GB · 2014–present · active
Heriot formed in Swindon in 2014 and developed into one of the most exciting British heavy bands of the 2020s by making metalcore feel claustrophobic, industrial, and physically dangerous again. The group's early lineup built the foundation, but Debbie Gough's arrival in 2019 sharpened the band's identity through her guitar work, screams, and visual presence. Profound Morality announced Heriot as more than another revivalist act: the songs fused metallic hardcore, sludge weight, death-metal violence, and noise-scarred atmosphere into compact bursts of pressure. Devoured by the Mouth of Hell expanded that world with tracks like "Foul Void," "At the Fortress Gate," "Siege Lord," and "Opaline," allowing melody and ambience to appear without reducing the threat. Heriot fit metal scope directly through riff density, harsh vocals, extreme dynamics, and their place in contemporary heavy touring. What makes them stand out is control. The band understand space as well as impact, letting silence, feedback, and texture make the heavy sections feel even heavier. Their music sounds less like release than containment finally failing.
