EXCLUSIVE FEATURE - House Of Hosts 5 Songs That Influenced Them

 

Welsh hard hitters, HOUSE OF HOSTS, are rising fast. The band have just released their scorching new single and video, 'Pedestal' - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yjDs_qCmLg

The track is lifted from their forthcoming EP, 'Reckoning', out on Friday 26th September. With this in mind, we exclusively caught up with the band and asked them to give the tracks that have greatly inspired their sound:

Daniel Foley-Griffiths (vocals) Track Choice:

Five Finger Death Punch - Wrong Side Of Heaven, Righteous Side Of Hell.

"The double album was beautifully constructed in a way that not only harnesses the pure rage and drive of the screams but balances out with the contrast of melodic choruses and harmony. For me it demonstrates perfectly that you can both be heavy and sinister but also delicate and tranquil."

Beth Goodwin (drums) Track Choice:

Avenged Sevenfold - Unholy Confessions

"The Rev plays incredible melodic and syncopated drums that emphasise and compliment the rest of the song, making the music heavy but groovy. Something to dance or headbang to."

Ross Davies (guitar) Track Choice:

Doom Eternal OST - Mick Gordon/Andrew Hulshult

"I want absolutely stinking, fat riffs that really get them gurns out. Through My Eyes is very Doom Eternal like."

Jack Hunt (bass) Track Choice:

Killswitch Engage - My Curse

"The perfect mix of heavy riffage, emotional depth, and chorus that makes you want to sing to the heavens, something we try to capture in a lot of our music."

James Russell (guitar) Track Choice:

Funeral for a Friend - All The Rage

"I honestly could have picked any song by FFaF. They are masters of heavy, emotive songs with big choruses, but I went with All The Rage because that Riff is incredible. What a way to start an album!"
