The Leeds, UK-based doom / post-metal collective known as Hundred Year Old Man has announced details of their upcoming full-length debut.
‘Breaching‘ will arrive via Gizeh Records on April 27 and is the long-play follow up to the band’s critically acclaimed ‘Rei’ EP [available now as an NYP item HERE].
A track titled “Disconnect” from the new album is streaming here today and finds HYOM further exploring ethereal atmospherics in their futuristic music. With sedate, calming underpinning that permeates the more ambient, drone sections of the song, it is a most powerful composition.
‘Breaching‘ was recorded and mixed by Tom Wright & Owen Pegg at New Craven Hall, Eiger Studios & City #1. The album was mastered by Magnus Lindberg and features artwork by Paul Broughton & Richard Knox. It will be available in varied formats including 2LP vinyl, CD, and Digital Download. Pre-order is active now at these locations: HERE and HERE.
Hundred Year Old Man is: Aaron Bateman, Paul Broughton, Steve Conway, Owen Pegg, Dan Rochester-Argyle, and Tom Wright.
