Heredes

HEREDES is an English-Chinese bilingual independent heavy metal band formed in 2016 by five individuals from Johor, Malaysia. The band -- comprising lead singer-songwriter Adam (<a href="spotify:artist:4oWRuu99bL5OaTwQirxg00" data-name="巫建尊">巫建尊</a>), lead guitarist Kong (陈光豪), rhythm guitarist Jack (陈俊吉), bassist Kabi (苏茁荣), and drummer John (胡宏玮) -- played in different bands before they meet each other. Heredes was originally formed by Kong and John; the departure of the other members resulted in the recruitment of Adam, Jack, and Kabi along the way through networking. Heredes&#39; style of music is heavily inspired by big name bands such as Avenged Sevenfold, Trivium, and As I Lay Dying.

In 2017, they released their first EP titled [Yi], on which they used to perform in various underground scenes in Malaysia. They participated in the Battle of the Bands organised by Hard Rock Cafe and successfully made it into the finalists. Since then, they have been performing actively in both underground and music festivals scenes.

The theme of their songs are mainly topics surrounding dark reality in our everyday lives. Combining heavy metal screamos and melodic singing, they are able to create songs that reflect the dark side of life but also commercially appealing at the same time. In addition, they are not shy in exploring new elements to add into their music in order to create a more versatile listening experience for their audience. From orchestra choir to traditional Chinese instruments, they have it covered in their track list.
