Emerging from London, UK, Harbinger has been a driving force in the UK’s metal scene since 2015. Underpinning righteous fury with thick, groove-laden riffs, anthemic choruses and shredding guitar solos, Harbinger package high-minded concepts and techniques with primitive savagery and raw heaviness. Backed by big riffs, untamed heaviness and technicality, Harbinger are pushing the boundaries of modern metal, but with a lot of consideration and respect for the foundations and roots of the genre.
The net result is compelling and exhilarating in equal measure, marking Harbinger's ascent to the vanguard of bands pushing the boundaries of the UK's underground metal scene.
Harbinger have released two EPs, a mini-album titled A Letter to Anguish in 2022, and a full-length album, Compelled to Suffer, showcasing their growth and maturity. Following a lineup change, Harbinger returned with renewed ferocity, focusing their ire on societal injustices and manipulations.
No Vermin is a raw, scathing exploration of corruption, apathy, and the consequences of both. It serves as a wake-up call, demanding the listener confront the chaos around them rather than seeking solace in ignorance or sedation. The lyrics' bleak yet thought-provoking tone challenges you to break free from cycles of destruction and actively reclaim integrity and justice, albeit with the acknowledgment that such a path is fraught with pain and sacrifice.
Their latest single, No Vermin, produced by Jeff Dunne, reflects their evolution and solidifies their position at the forefront of the UK’s underground metal scene.
