    Herod 'The Iconoclast' CD

    £16.99

Herod are a Swiss progressive post metal band formed in Vaud, Switzerland in the early 2010s. They are known for their dense, heavy sound that fuses sludge, groove metal, math-metal complexity, and post metal atmosphere into tightly structured, high-impact compositions.

Over their career, Herod have built a reputation for extremely heavy, rhythmically intricate songwriting, often drawing comparisons to bands such as Cult of Luna, Meshuggah, and Gojira-adjacent modern progressive metal acts.

Rhythmic Complexity, Sludge Weight, and Progressive Structure

Herod’s sound is defined by downtuned guitars, syncopated rhythmic patterns, and shifting song structures that move between groove-heavy aggression and expansive, atmospheric passages. Their music often balances technical precision with raw sonic force.

The band are known for their tightly controlled heaviness, where precision riffing and dense production create an intense and immersive listening experience.

Discography Highlights

They Were None (2014) – debut album introducing their blend of sludge-heavy riffing, math-influenced rhythm, and post metal atmosphere.

Sombre Dessein (2019) – expanded and more refined release showcasing greater dynamic range and compositional maturity. Their first release on Pelagic Records.

Iconoclast (2023) – latest album, featuring their most polished balance of groove metal aggression, progressive structure, and dense atmospheric layering.

Legacy and Fan Appeal

Herod are regarded as one of Switzerland’s most distinctive modern heavy bands, standing out for their fusion of technical precision and crushing heaviness within the European post metal and sludge scene.

Fans of artists such as Conjurer, Coilguns, and LLNN are likely to appreciate Herod’s intense, rhythmic, and cinematic heaviness.
