“A hellish alliance of stoner doom from Utah and hardcore, grind, and OSDM from Arizona.”
Utah’s stoner juggernauts Hibernaut and Arizona’s grinding death-dealers Face Pulp to release split LP March 6th!
In Spring 2026, out of the American West rises a two-headed beast of riffs and rage. Joining forces for a split LP, Utah’s stoner juggernauts Hibernaut and Arizona’s grinding death-dealers Face Pulp join forces to release an album made of noise and nasty intentions.
Following up Hibernaut’s lauded »Obsidian Eye« and Face Pulp’s split with AZ native grind thrashers DogsThrowSpears, the two outfits deliver a collection of 9 tracks from their respective dark corners of the heavy underground, captured on vinyl through Colorado Springs’ What’s Left Records.
Hibernaut guitarist and vocalist Dave Jones about »Mark Of Shame«: “The song »Mark Of Shame« is about the cyclical nature of child abuse and domestic violence. From the angry parent that is unable to reconcile their own feelings of inadequacy and lash out when their authority is challenged, to the child who is conditioned to the behavior. The guilt and shame that accompany it become the same rage that was directed toward themselves.”
Hibernaut:
Hibernaut is a doom/sludge/stoner metal band from Salt Lake City, Utah, known for their crushing riffs, psychedelic edges, and progressive heaviness. Formed in 2021 by guitarist/vocalist Dave Jones (SubRosa, Dwellers) and drummer Zach Hatsis (SubRosa, Dwellers), the lineup solidified with bassist Josh Dupree and lead guitarist Matt Miller (Thunderfist, Oldtimer). Their debut album »Ingress« (2023) earned strong acclaim and reached #15 on The Doom Charts.
Their follow-up, »Obsidian Eye«, was released on July 11, 2025, and immediately landed at #7 on that month’s Doom Charts – marking a major leap forward for the band. With towering riffs, immersive dynamics, and deep underground roots, Hibernaut continue to carve their own path in modern doom.
Hibernaut will also be playing the first annual HUFR Fest in Denver, Colorado on April 24th at Bar 404 and are working on their 3rd full-length studio album.
Face Pulp:
Face Pulp started (officially) in October of 2021. Prior to that, guitarist MT and drummer Randy had tried to start the band back in 2019. When the epidemic hit, they took a year and a half away from it, and by October 2021 they had their first full band practice as Face Pulp. In 2023 they released their full-length »Eye Grabbing Detail«, played a series of regional shows in the southwest including a 10 day SW tour, and were pivotal in booking the “Burning Pines” festival in Flagstaff, AZ in an attempt to bring some of their favorite near by bands together all under one roof from every corner, reservation, and major city in Arizona.
In 2024, reaching for higher ambitions they released a split 7″ with their friends in DogsThrowSpears from Fort Defiance, AZ, and in Sept/Oct Landyn (from DogsThrowSpears) joined the band. Throughout 2025 they have been playing consistently all over the region, ran another southwest tour, and had the opportunity to open up for acts like Gatecreeper, Soulfly, and Go Ahead And Die. With big tour plans for 2026 in the midwest and Europe, the release of this split LP, and recording for a full-length, who knows what will come next. Face Pulp mixes genres of hardcore punk, grindcore, thrash, and hints of OSDM.
