The five piece band from Dudley and Wolverhampton have been together now for two years in their current format.

Falling under the progressive rock banner, the lads offer true diversity in their sound, ranging from pumping metal tracks to slower rock ballads, all featuring a range of riffs, beats and synths.

Speaking live on BBC Wm Introducing, vocalist Rob Harris said:

"Some people say our it's metal, some say it's 'this'... We just call it progressive music and hopefully people like it. We started off as a four piece and then added the keyboards.

"It was to bring a new dimension to the music. We've all got different influences and we try and bring them together."

Heresy have gigged extensively in some of the top West Midlands venues, including the Rock Cafe in Stourbridge, The Barfly and The Rainbow in Birmingham and JB's in Dudley.

Heresy have also played the 2008 British Rock and Metal Festival and have offers to play the 2009 Bulldog Bash, Bloodstock and Download.

Describing playing at JB's as akin to a "homecoming", Rob said:

"Metal Fest was a gig we did at JBs a couple of weeks ago. We did a 40 minute set - it went down pretty cool. It's always good to play JBs."
