UK metal quartet HERIOT reveal new single, 'Commander of Pain'

The UK's most exciting new heavy band, HERIOT, have released their new single 'Commander of Pain'. 

Debbie Gough (vocals/guitar) comments: "'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.'"
