Following the release of their “A Letter To Anguish” EP earlier this summer, London metal band Harbinger will return to the EU/UK in November and October for the “Rising Merch Faces Of Death” Tour. Fresh from a springtime support slot with Decapitated and their performances at Purgatory Festival and Tech-Fest, Harbinger will also be heading out on their own UK headline tour in September. See full list of shows below.
“A Letter To Anguish” sees Harbinger return to active service after a couple of years away, with a slew of music, a new face and ferocious intent. We know this pandemic has taken its toll on all of us. Some artists have used this time to create a dazzling array of new music – Harbinger are no different. In 2020, with the world locked down, Harbinger welcomed new vocalist and long time friend of the band Dilan Alves to the fold.
Speaking of the new addition, the band said “With Dilan onboard, our mantra still remains the same. Big riffs, thought-provoking lyrics, and a whole lot of heavy. This new release really broadens our influential palette. Dilan brings a wealth of inspiration – from the most brutal of metal genres to more vulnerable emotional styles like post-hardcore, and the music behind the vocals is dipping more into old school thrash and nu-metal. This all comes together to give you a post-pandemic Harbinger in 2021/22.”
Here’s what press have to say about Harbinger:
“[Guile] is a proper skull-crusher of a metal anthem, brimming with heavenly solos and devastating riffs..”
ROCK SOUND
“Harbinger are leading the next generation of tech metal wizards.”
METAL HAMMER
“Metal scientists Harbinger arrive with a pocketful of dread and a fistful of blast beats”. KKKK
KERRANG!
“From soaring pitched screams to volleys of gritty growls it continues to be full of surprises. HARBINGER have managed to cram more creativity into this mini-album than most bands can handle in a more extensive release.”. 9/10
DISTORTED SOUND
“If this is a taster of what the group is capable of creating, things look very exciting for the future.”
