American stoner/doom/sludge metal quartet Hibernaut share new music video for »Stygian Nectar«

Salt Lake City, Utah based stoner/doom/sludge metal quartet Hibernaut share new music video for the opening track »Stygian Nectar« taken from their debut album, »Ingress«, released on May 3rd, 2023.

Hibernaut features current and former members of SubRosa, Dwellers, Laughter, Oxcross, Oldtimer & more.

Hailing from Salt Lake City, Utah, United States. Hibernaut arose in a somnambulistic state in 2020 when Dave Jones began writing songs on guitar, a switch from years playing bass in Oldtimer, SubRosa, Dwellers, Oxcross etc. As well as switching to guitar he also began writing lyrics and singing. In 2021 Dave played the songs for his long time friend and bandmate Zach Hatsis (Dwellers, SubRosa, Laughter, etc), who jumped right in and began adding his unique powerful drumming to the songs.

Soon after Josh Dupree came in on bass with the thundering low end the band needed and the trio began regular rehersals. Demo recording began that year and they soon asked Joey Toscano (Iota, Dwellers) to fill a sonic void with his blisteringly psychedelic leads, thus, Hibernaut was complete. Recording studio dates were booked with Andy Patterson in 2022 and a week was spent laying down the bones of eleven tracks. In the following months all the extra bits were added and the album was mixed and mastered. The album entitled »Ingress« is the progeny of all the time and work put into Hibernaut.

In 2023 the lineup changed slighty. Joey Toscano had only planned to be a studio musician and Hibernaut decided to start playing live, leading to Matt Miller (Thunderfist, Oldtimer, Goatsifter) stepping in as the lead guitarist. Dave presented the band with demos for the next album, and each member contributed by writing their respective parts. During the spring, drum tracking took place, once again recording with Andy Patterson. By fall, all other parts were recorded. Hibernaut is currently in the process of working on the mix for their second album.

Line-up:
Zach Hatsis – Drums
Matt Miller – Lead Guitar
Dave Jones – Vocals and Rhythm Guitar
Josh Dupree – Bass
