Epimetheus is a stoner/doom/sludge power trio hailing from Bristol, UK.

The difference between heaviness and aggression is crucial when entering Epimetheus’ orbit. The sound of Epimetheus is crafted via heady repetition, churning basslines and unexpected melodic hooks which drift in and out of the noise. “The kind of people that come to our shows will appreciate the fact that the guitar sounds like a train derailment,” says Cillian. “Our tone is a huge focus – that element is very present in our identity. People often ask how we do it with just the three of us.”

In keeping with the raw quality of their renowned live shows, »Perseus 9« was recorded live in practice rooms using a small flight-case with a total of 16 inputs – just enough for the drums, room mics and two guitars to go simultaneously. “We wanted to make something that sounds exactly like we do live,” says Cillian. Engineering duties were performed by Stan Braddock in the room, and then mastering was handled by Conan alumnus Chris Fielding.

Epimetheus is:
Ben Price – Vocals, Bass
Cillian Breathnach – Guitar
James Jackson – Drums, Vocals

FFO: Sleep, Deftones, Boris
