Salt Lake City, Utah based doom/sludge/stoner metal outfit Hibernaut (with members of SubRosa, Dwellers and more) has released new music video for the song »Lantern Eyed« from their debut album, »Ingress«, out on May 3rd, 2023.

About the band:
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 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. Song writing never stopped and Hibernaut is working on their next album.
About the music:
Hibernaut wanted the advancing sonic wall that is the music, no matter the gait, crawling, trudging or galloping, to push and pull listeners ever onward. Dave Jones’ riffs are sent swirling from the primordial sludge of the pineal and his gutteral vocals, full of loathing and disgust, are urgent and aggrieved. Josh Dupree’s bass slithers through tracks like Sloe and Nor’easter creating an undulating sense of movement. Zach Hatsis’ drumming thunders down the tracks and climbs steep grades to open upon vast barren plains, creating a dimensional feel to the songs. Joey Toscano’s leads weave throughout the songs bringing fevered texture and wavering visions of audible darkness and light. Coagulation of these elements resulted in the music for the recording of »Ingress«, Hibernauts debut album.
Hibernaut’s debut album »Ingress« was released on May 3, 2023. Available now on Bandcamp and all streaming platforms.
