Emerging from London’s underground metal scene, Harbinger have spent the past decade carving out a reputation as one of the UK’s most uncompromising and forward-thinking modern metal acts. Formed in 2015, the band’s sound is defined by razor-sharp precision, groove-laden intensity, and an unflinching social conscience.

From the chaos of Paroxysm and Human Dust to the melodic weight of A Letter to Anguish, Harbinger have evolved without losing the aggression that put them on the map. Their new era — marked by a partnership with Prime Collective and the single A Thousand Faces — shows the band at their most dynamic yet.

“A Thousand Faces really captures everything we love about modern metal,” says guitarist Charlie Griffiths. “There’s groove, blast beats, breakdowns, atmosphere and big melodic hooks that people were already humming back to us on tour.”

Bassist Kris Aarre adds: “The song draws from The Hero with a Thousand Faces — a reflection on humanity repeating the same mistakes and mistaking movement for progress.” Vocalist Dilan Alves continues: “It’s a proud display of our influences and a message that the fight against oppression is never over.”

Having toured with Decapitated, Rivers of Nihil, Sylosis and more, and played Bloodstock, RADAR and UK Tech-Fest, Harbinger’s live shows are as precise as they are punishing. A decade in, they stand as a defining force in modern metal — blending old-school heaviness with forward-thinking songwriting and pure riffcraft.
