Hibernaut’s Obsidian Eye: A Cosmic Horror Trip You Can’t Unsee
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7vey2zQgBA
Mark your calendars—Salt Lake City’s riff-summoning lunatics, Hibernaut, are back from the void with Obsidian Eye, a six-track plunge into cosmic dread that could make Lovecraft scream into his pillow. Dropping July 11, 2025, this doom-soaked monolith lands via DIY digital or vinyl conjured by Olde Magick Records (because obviously, this kind of sonic sorcery deserves wax). Think Alien meets a Canterbury Tale rewritten in blood and static—only with more fuzz and existential trauma.
From the parasitic growl of “Engorge Behemoth” to the soul-crushing finale “Beset,” Obsidian Eye asks the big questions—like, Who gave death a veto vote? Picture villagers resurrected as puppets of an alien god, necromantic pool parties, and leviathans that’d make Poseidon file for retirement. It’s a concept album so thick with atmosphere, you’ll need a machete to hack through it.
Frontman Dave Jones warns us: “We’ve found our cursed groove.” Meanwhile, producer Andy Patterson mutters, “My studio’s survived decades of chaos… until these guys showed up.” Ouch.
Their 2023 debut Ingress already carved them into doom’s hall of fame, but Obsidian Eye? It’s the kind of album that’ll have Mastodon fans nodding approvingly while YOB stans light candles in reverence.
Pre-order the vinyl (while it lasts), stream the singles—“Goner” lands May 9 with a music video that looks like Dali and Giger had a fever dream—or just meditate on Jordan Barlow’s stunning cover art until your pupils dilate. Either way, this isn’t music. It’s a ritual.
Obsidian Eye isn’t for the faint-hearted. But hey, when the veil between life and death starts fraying, wouldn’t you rather face it with a soundtrack this gloriously unhinged?
