Hesper Payne describes itself as a death doom band, hailing from Newcastle upon Tyne on the north-east coast of England. To label this band as stricktly "death/ doom" would be quite wrong & absolutely right at the same time. This is no Winter, Autopsy, Coffins, Hooded Menace,... but there are refined elements of death metal in here. I think Hesper Payne is an oddball creature amidst different genres of heavy music. These guys are the weird, slimy, Lovecraftian tale of doom, death, stoner, sludge & progressive metal. Behold their eccentric artwork & hear their filthy experimental style on their latest EP: The Strange Tale Of Samuel Gonzalez. This one grabbed me instantly after hearing it on Bandcamp.
The first track sounds like a swampy bastard child of Baroness & Mastodon, followed by 'Ospreys Jar'. A dark, sludgy riff monster following in the footsteps of (early) Morbid Angel. 'Litany Of The Drowners' left me with a haunted feeling & ends with a dready amount of slow, pounding riffage. This EP is quite a trip! I would highly recommend it to anyone that's looking for something utterly heavy, but also very different & special in a well-known genre. My first filthy favorite for 2012...

Great! Closest association is Unexpect from Canada. These guys have some similarities in how the sound :) Still fucking awesome and sick! It's like listening to moss grow on Cthulhu!
Hey man. No SOPA/PIPA protest? Check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page if you don't know what I'm talking about.
Nice album.
Hey Robin, I was wondering if you know about a band called OJM. They have been around for almost a decade and they sound like something you would like.
