A Low Winter's Sun

by HERON

supported by

WaitingfortheTurningPoint This is a devastating doom trip. I’m sure my neighbors hate hearing it. Favorite track: Uncomfortable Silence.

Justin@BlindMouse Press play and watch the filaments in the lightbulbs flutter and arc. The air pressure will drop and you will know you have summoned an ungodly sound that will cave in your walls and swallow you in filth.

Cheveu Miracle ↪ (sludge doom metal / 2018 / Canada // )

Darknight Doomster riffage of the highest order to melt your speakers! High horns for HERON the masters of doom. This is one stunning sludge fest record, AMAZING!! Favorite track: Parallels of a Knife Fight.

Sleeping Villager Heron’s mix of sludgy riffage, tortured vocals, and a post-metal approach to song structure make for a highly enjoyable experience.This well-executed album has been on pretty constant rotation since last April. Full review here: www.sleepingvillagereviews.com/features/sleeping-village-sampler-1 Favorite track: Of Gods And Goats.

about

HERON is an atmospheric sludge band from Vancouver, British Columbia. Focusing on growth through repetition, HERON takes musical influences from bands such as Isis, Sleep, and Corrupted and combines them with existential lyrical content and audio samples. The result is a swirling miasma of oppressive guitar tone, cannon-like drums, and bestial howls. HERON carries as much gear with them on tour as possible in a never-ending search for perfect tone and will absolutely destroy your live venue.

Following two acclaimed EPs, HERON released their debut full length entitled "A Low Winter's Sun" on 13th April 2018, a crushing and suffocating blackened doom masterclass

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this. Luke

This album is an absolute banger. The riffs are especially groovy this time, the vocals are amazing, and the overall thing is supercatchy. If I'd have to list one downside, it's that the mix is so bass-heavy that the sound only truely comes into it's right when listened on good headphones or extremely good speakers. On anything less it can sound like the bass drowns the rest of the music out. 9/10 Buzzario
