Hymn is a Norwegian band rooted in the heavy and atmospheric realms of sludge metal with an infusion of doom elements and a penchant for monolithic riffs. The band's aural identity is characterized by its crushing soundscapes, slow-burning intensity, and an overarching sense of bleakness, rendering their work a dark and immersive experience. Consisting of Ole Ulvik Rokseth and Markus Støle, Hymn has been actively contributing to the darker quarters of the metal scene since their formation.
Their discography showcases a steady evolution in their heavy sonic approach, with the albums "Perish" and "Breach Us" being formidable examples of their craft, and the single "Exit Through Fire" further cementing their reputation. Released in 2017, "Perish" was a powerful statement of intent, an unyielding force of weighty tracks that delve into introspective and existential themes. Following up with "Breach Us" in 2020, Hymn continued to refine their sound, delivering a more intricate and explosive mix of slow, churning guitars and thunderous drumming. The music of Hymn is a cathartic outlet that demands active listening, often exploring motifs of human frailty and the inexorable passage of time. Through their expansive sound and brooding lyrics, Hymn stands as a torchbearer for those who find solace in the heavy and the harrowing.
