Bursting out of the isolated peninsula of Zeeland at the southwestern point of the Netherlands, Dutch groove hardcore youngsters Inherited have announced their new EP, ALL 4 ONE, which will be released on October 2 via Mascot Records.
Leading the charge for Zeeland Hardcore (ZLHC), Jamie Versprille (vocals), Marvin Wesdorp (guitar), Midas Giele (guitar), Lucas Camonier (bass), and Neill Ray (drums) are battering down the doors of the underground circuit and carving their name into every stage they touch. On their new song, "INHERITED," the first to be taken from the EP produced by Robin Adams (Architects, Guilt Trip, Blood Youth) and mastered by Adam 'Nolly' Getgood (Periphery), they celebrate everything that came before them.
Hardcore surges through their DNA. Vocalist Verprille explains, "The song 'INHERITED' is about this. It's all about where we come from: Our family, our blood, everything that shaped us. It is what we have been given, and we owe it everything. That's why we carry that legacy forward."
Their pathway was laid out 30 years ago by Zeeland's death metal firebrands, Polluted Inheritance. Inherited's Camonier and Wesdorp are the sons of Polluted Inheritance's Ronald Camonier and Erwin Wesdorp.
Identity is everything to them. A sense of community is at the heart of Inherited, both of their hometown of Zeeland and their roots. Nature and nurture are the pistons working in tandem, propelling Inherited forward.
Formed in 2024, the high school friends’ - three of which are still in their teens (Neill, Midas and Marvin) - played their sixth-ever show was on the hallowed stage of Germany’s Wacken Open Air festival, the result of them winning the Dutch Metal Battle 2025, which saw the band hire a double-decker bus to transport 100 fans, 200 miles from their hometown to the final. They don’t see obstacles; they see only opportunities. The band’s ‘group chat’ caught alight. “It spread like wildfire. People were fighting for spots. The whole place was filled with our people. We were able to get everybody in the room jumping,” remembers Marvin.
This sense of togetherness is directly linked to their hometown of Zeeland — the least populous province of the Netherlands — which is made up of a number of Islands and peninsulas, much of it below sea level.
"We want people to stand up and pay attention to Zeeland. It's really isolated. Even people from the Netherlands forget about it. The only thing that connects us to the rest of the country is a five-mile tunnel. We're proud to be from here," says Jamie.
The EP was recorded at Robin Adams' studio in Leeds, UK. It was from here that the five tracks, totalling just over 15 minutes of lightning rod energy, were crafted.
It whiplashes its way through the band's roots on "Inherited," and keeping friendship circles tight on "Wasted Space," whilst "Won’t Break" is a call for empowerment. The title track is an emotional call to arms. "If you're going through hard times, you help each other. Life can be tough, but we will always stick together," affirms the singer.
Forged in the underground scene, they've journeyed across the Netherlands underbelly; dive bars, a Skate Park, a barbershop, and a giveaway store. They've played underground bunkers in France and a youth-oriented chapel in Belgium. The underground ethic runs deep in the band, but they’re also headlining 400-cap venues with people pouring out of the door. They've supported Pro-Pain, Dark Angel, Bodyfarm, Master, and hit the festival circuit: Wacken-Open-Air, Dynamo Festival, South of Heaven and more.
"Inherited" will feature on BandCamper, a Dutch national TV show filming in spring 2026 that travels across Zeeland in search of new musical talent.
Their music carries a message of empowerment, perseverance, community, brotherhood, and family. The bloodline runs strong.
