†HYMNS† is a 2 piece atheist rock band comprising of Samuel Manville and
Peter Reisner.†HYMNS† is an interpretation of classical music through the
medium of vocals, guitar and drums. Taking inspiration from the
classical works of Arvo Pärt, Ludovico Einaudi and Steve Reich fused
with the garage rock of Forget Cassettes, Des Ark and Nick Cave.
†Hymns† create a unique, yet timeless sound. Live is where†Hymns†excel,
rigging the guitar through two guitar amps and a bass amp. They slip
between bold and brittle, brash and delicate with precision and
conviction putting most bands of more conventional member numbers to
shame.
There is also a video for the track “A Punch to the Temple”.
