Hesper Payne - The Strange Tale Of Samuel Gonzalez (2012)

-













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...

By Amelia Proud PDA: Eddie and Leann cuddled up and she also played with Brandi's younger boy at the match in LA today Leann Rimes and husband Eddie Cibrian engaged in an over the top display of affection at his son Mason's soccer game today... just yards from his ex-wife, Brandi Glanville. The star of the 39-year-old Real Housewife of Beverly Hills had to look on as Leann, 29 , indulged in affectionate horseplay with Cibrian, and larked around with her two boys. The two had a bitter divorce battle which still rages on over custody issues. Brandi sat with her back to Leann for the entire game, the two never exchanged a single word and an tension was palpable between them according to sources. Curiously Eddie seemed to have left his wedding ring at home, but there was no doubting the smoulder between himself and his wife, who refers to herself as 'a bonus mom.' The singer has recently gushed that she has the perfect life now that she's a wife and stepmother, having l...
