Heriot release new music video for ‘Recreant’

HERIOT have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Recreant, is the brand new single from the emerging UK metallers and comes on the back of their previous single, Cleansed Existence, which was released back in November. The new single was first premiered via Knotfest.

Speaking about the new song, the band says, Recreant reflects on the ever-growing abuse of power in today’s world. With governments, politicians and influencers wrongfully using religion, nationalism and wealth to divide communities, class and race. In this release we’ve tried to hone in on some of our darker influences to best suit the lyrical content in this song. As a band we’ve delved deeper into our doom and sludge roots. This track allowed for a lot more experimentation into the use of textures and industrial elements to embellish the intensity of our sound.

This track touches on the contrast between the privileged and deprived and how the system is carefully manipulated to cater for the wealthy, even showing encouragement for minority groups of people to subconsciously vilify themselves.”
