Swansea-based riff merchants, HOUSE OF HOSTS, continue their climb in supreme style, releasing their highly absorbing new single, Pedestal, out now. The track is a stunning preview of their forthcoming EP, Reckoning, which arrives on Friday 26th September. Check out the video for Pedestal above and listen to the band at https://open.spotify.com/artist/5DGQkBDGVhIAzKYwSC7AIV .
Known for their emotionally raw and sonically intense sound, the Welsh five-piece — Daniel Foley-Griffiths (vocals), Jack Hunt (bass), Beth Goodwin (drums), and guitarists James Russell and Ross Davies — channel the spirit of metal legends like Avenged Sevenfold, Slipknot, Disturbed, and Dream Theater, while carving out a sound uniquely their own.
Following the acclaim of past singles Oblivion, Bound by Fate, and Darkest Days, HOUSE OF HOSTS now deliver, Pedestal, a layered and hugely emotive track that showcases the band’s evolving emotional depth and musical maturity. Paired with a gripping music video, the song encapsulates the darkness and hope that defines their upcoming EP. Guitarist James Russell comments: “The making of Reckoning made us look into ourselves and ask what made us who we are and what we stood for. As a result, this is our darkest and grittiest release to date — but there’s a prevailing theme of hope and rebirth running through the entire record.”
Featuring four powerful tracks, Reckoning captures HOUSE OF HOSTS’ signature live ferocity — loaded with formidable riffs, thoughtful guitar work, dynamic breakdowns, and a vocal performance that hits like a sledgehammer to the soul. With a rapidly growing fanbase and their boldest release to date on the horizon, HOUSE OF HOSTS are poised to make 2025 their defining year. Get ready for the Reckoning.
EP track listing: 1. Through My Eyes; 2. Darkest Days; 3. Pedestal; 4. Confession.
