STTWTT Review - UK Horror Scene

Review of See The Thing Within The Thing from UK Horror Scene

"It’s obvious this band is a well-oiled machine"

"the production is great...stellar drumming..."

"Hiram is not your average doom band... These guys think outside the box. They’re phenomenal musicians and they play very well together... Very good musicians, a great vocalist and good writing, both musically AND lyrically."

"Those first four songs just blew me away. I’ll be listening to this album a lot more."

Awriiiight! Cheers to UKHS... cool!

STTWTT Review - NineHertz

Review of See The Thing Within The Thing by Mike from Nine Hertz.

"Once they get going it's like a prog steamroller"

"it's just dizzying (and brilliant as it happens)."

"...you'll need to put aside some time to absorb See The Thing... Whatever, keep your (third) eye open for Hiram..."

What a gent...!


STTWTT Review - Stoner Hive

Review of See The Thing Within The Thing from Stoner Hive...

"...expertly navigating down the Doom/Sludge/Prog continuum over the course of an album..."

"Do not fear any of the pretentious, Progressive Sludge bad connotations! Hiram does it right."

"Rated: ****

Bostin' stuff... cheers to the Hive!

STTWTT Review - Heavy Planet

Review of See The Thing Within The Thing from Heavy Planet...

"Hiram is passionate about their music and that passion rings true and clear..."

"'It Can't Come Quick Enough' shows the bands genre-defying influences, an absolute jam showcase."

"Take a listen to these guys and then become a fan. I did."

What to say? Go check out the Heavy Planet and Heavy Planet Radio and burn one to Hiram! Yup...

STTWTT Review - Echoes and Dust

Review of See The Thing Within The Thing from Echoes and Dust 'zine...

"‘See The Thing’ opens the album with a sense of foreboding; strings flap against fret boards with a gut wrenching rumble as if Black Sabbath have taken a load of mogadon, eaten a load of and been left alone in a graveyard (with recording gear obviously)...

...There is clearly great musicianship in this band and they have the potential to do great things..."
 
Can't win 'em all... Cheers!

STTWTT Review - Ride With The Devil

Review of See The Thing Within The Thing from Ride With The Devil 'zine...

"Whatever Hiram plays is characterised by a passion for their music. No glitter, no glamour, no fame nor money, the music is what counts. Every single member is heard putting their heart and soul out there just because they want to do so...

...Hiram is a band I can't quite wrap my head around, and I'm happy I can't. It makes all of the band that much more interesting...

...What is created by Hiram has gone unnoticed for too long already. Go and then give these men a shoutout, they deserve it..."


Humblin' stuff... thanks so much!



STTWTT Review - Temple of Perdition


"HIRAM is a singular and mysterious English band from Sheffield who has just released an interesting new album "See the Thing Within the Thing"...

... Truly unpredictable but still cohesive (would be curious to see how some parts are maybe adapted for Live duties!), those guys know amazingly how to craft very personal songs..."

Thanks for the kind words!
