Description: The fact that Heretoir are themselves deeply moved by their new single, Wastelands, and hold it close to their hearts accounts for the high level of sentimentality they achieve on the song. They comment: "This song means everything to us. Wastelands deals with the destruction of our source of life – planet earth. Humans seem to have a 'suicidal urge' to destroy what keeps us alive. The song is a requiem on the downfall of this world." The German band draws on the darkness of the doom/death metal scene of the nineties as well as the melancholy of shoegaze and post rock to showcase their post metal expansiveness in a very melodic and moody way.
