Barbarian Hermit are a five piece doom/sludge/stoner band based in Manchester, England.[1] They were formed in 2013[1] and are currently signed to APF Records[2], through which they released their debut studio album Solitude and Savagery.[3]

History

First Years (2013-2018)

Barbarian Hermit were formed in Manchester, England in 2013. Their first lineup consisted of Ed Campbell (vocals), Mike Regan (guitar), Chris Wood (bass) and Loz Brindley (drums).[4] The band quickly became a five piece with the addition of second guitarist Adam Robertshaw.[4] Only a few months after Barbarian Hermit's formation, Ed Campbell had to step aside to focus on other personal commitments.[5] He was replaced by Si Scarlett.[5]

The band's first release, the six track BARBARIAN HERMIT 01 demo, was released on Bandcamp on 22nd February 2016.[6] The demo was engineered and mixed by Bernie Steer at the Hermitage, Biff at WR Audio and Luke Clarke at SSR, with the 6th track, 'Widowmaker', remastered by Bernie Steer.[6] A limited physical release of the demo was available at the 2016 edition of the Manchester Metal Collective Weekender which the band played.[7] The third track from the demo, 'Burn the Fire', had a music video produced for it by Massive Badgers.[8]

2017 saw Barbarian Hermit go through a series of lineup changes. Firstly, on 1st March, it was announced that Si Scarlett was leaving the band.[9] He was replaced by original vocalist Ed Campbell, who returned to the band.[9] 9th March 2017 saw the band announce that bassist, Chris Wood would be leaving the band due to health and work related issues.[10] His full time replacement was Rob Sutcliffe of Fantasist.[10] On 15th June it was announced that drummer, Loz Brindley, would be taking a sabbatical from the band, with Gaz Manning taking over as drummer in his absence.[11] Manning would, however, take over drumming duties full time for the band and would mark the solidification of the band's lineup to the present day.[1] On Saturday 30th September, Barbarian Hermit would play at the second edition of HRH Doom Vs Stoner.[12][13]

The 24th June 2018 saw Barbarian Hermit crowned as winners of the Manchester Metal 2 the Masses competition.[14][15] As winners of the competition, the band earned a spot on the New Blood stage at that year's Bloodstock Festival.[15]

Solitude and Savagery Onward (2018-present)

On 13th November 2018, Northern Monk, an independent brewery based in Leeds, England, released the Solitude and Savagery IPA to commemorate the launch of the band's first album of the same name.[16] Three days later, on November 16th, the launch party of said album, Solitude and Savagery, was held at the Northern Monk Refectory in Manchester, with support from Battalions, 1968 and Dead Retinas.[16][17] The album, released through the band's label APF Records, was recorded and produced by Chris Fielding at Skyhammer Studio, and mastered by James Plotkin at Plotkinworks.[3]

Barbarian Hermit returned to Bloodstock Festival on Thursday 9th August 2019 as the first band to play the Sophie Stage at that year's festival.[18] The show was, undoubtedly, the largest crowd Barbarian Hermit had played to thus far. As of November 2019, the band are in the process of writing for their second album, continuing to play dates across the UK.
