Hametsü, the name taken from a Japanese word meaning ‘Doom’, are a Manchester based heavy metal quartet focused on creating brutal but forward-thinking music. Taking inspiration from a wide range of metal subgenres such as, Thrash, Prog and Death Metal, Hametsü present a new and unique flavour to the metal scene, showing no sense of apprehension toward experimenting with their sound and warping the boundaries of the metal genre. Taking inspiration from a wide range of bands such as Gojira, Death and Opeth as well as taking influence from different genres entirely, they have managed to craft their own unique sound in a now saturated industry.
Hametsü are comprised by members: Matthew Mason (Lead Guitar), Tim Garner (Vocals + Bass), Matthew Allwood (Rhythm Guitar) and Kyle Fulton (Drums) who all contribute to every aspect of the band’s artistry weather that be: the instrumentation, the lyricism or the cover art.
