Hymnomancer - [Crossover Prog, Stoner Rock]

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hymnomancer is a genre-bending amalgam of audio flavors, made up of a metal drummer, a punk rock rhythm guitarist, a funk and jazz bassist, and a psychedelic and blues lead guitarist.  Their sounds range from an alternative sound (Fed A Spider) to a classic psychedelic rock sound (Cats n' Dogs) to a full progressive implosion (Trees).  Their influences include Pink Floyd, Queens of The Stone Age, Ween, and Misfits to name a few.
Hymnomancer has just released their debut album, Holier Than Meow!  It is available on bandcamp:
https://hymnomancer.bandcamp.com/releases

They also have a Facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/hymnomancer/

and a soundcloud:
https://soundcloud.com/hymnomancer

they also have a hidden stash of live improvised jams under their old name (shhhh!):

	It's a pity that the recording quality is so low. This trippy stuff, especially that in the old name to me sounds quite Kraut, but it seems recorded on a stereo8 cassette...
	Curiosity killed a cat, Schroedinger only half. My poor home recorded stuff at https://yellingxoanon.bandcamp.com

	Hey thanks for your feedback! The older stuff under Luop Garou was recorded on an H1 or an H4 handymike. It is live and improvised, so the mix suffers quality control. The "studio" album, Holier Than Meow! was recorded track by track on an octa-capture and then sent to a mixer, but we had to master it ourselves as our mixer became preoccupied with real life and had to abandon the dream state :(

	Disclosure: I am the Finger of The Hymnomancer BIOGRAPHY: The band originated as an experimental band before my time as the Finger. When I joined, we were a motley crew. A metal drummer , a funk bassist, a ska rhythm guitarist, and a blues lead guitarist. Over time, our styles bled into each other and a fusion emerged. After some ashes-of-the-phoneix rebranding, the Hymnomancer was born. You can see more here You can read more here We've just released our first professionally-recorded EP: Happy Coloured Sermons (2017) Our most succesful song from our first DIY album, Holier Than Meow (2015) and finally, Hymnomancer LIVE at the HorseShoe Tavern in Toronto: Thanks for listening :)
