Lotus Eater - 5 reasons to love the metal band

The five-piece from Glasgow play tech-metal, and their vocalist Jamie McLees lists five reasons why we should like his band: the first British heavy band to be signed to Hopeless Records (home to Avenged Sevenfold and All Time Low) in their 25-year history; they’re fearless, "gloom is our home... It’s a space that’s the worst place imaginable, but it’s where you feel at home"; They’re the start of a new wave of heavy bands - Modern Error, Holding Absence and God Complex are on the horizon; "we are the future of heavy metal".
