The band also assembled an exclusive playlist to accompany the story, made up of songs that inspired the album. Artists included in the selection included Korn, Slipknot and Slayer – and Billie Eilish. Listen to the full playlist on Spotify below and on Apple Music.

In their Cover story, Heriot reflected on how the influences they’ve absorbed, from other music and the world at large, have led to the enigmatic, cataclysmic mood of their album. “If everything was happy and peaceful and good, then we’d probably make really happy music,” vocalist and bassist Jake Packer said. Vocalist and guitarist Debbie Gough added: “The world gets more and more grey as you get older – it’s not black and white. How do you navigate that?”

The band also weighed in on the state of metal music, from pop stars’ flirtations with the genre to thriving scenes in both the UK and US. “A lot of people are realising they need something a bit harder or more abrasive and raw in their life,” Packer theorised. “Metal gives that on a plate. It’s not as commercialised and people are discovering that there’s more [music out there] than just what’s in front of them.”
