Hundred Year Old Man are a British post metal band from Leeds, formed in 2015. They are known for their crushing heaviness, slow-burning compositions, and immersive atmospheric structures that blend sludge, doom, and post metal influences.
Their music is defined by long-form structures, immersive dynamics, and a balance between crushing weight and introspective ambience.
Hundred Year Old Man’s sound relies on gradual progression, layered instrumentation, and extended compositions that evolve from minimal passages into dense, emotionally overwhelming climaxes.
Breaching (2018) – debut album introducing their heavy, immersive post metal and sludge-driven sound.
Live at Epic Fest 2019 (2020) – live release capturing their intense and expansive performance style.
Sleep In Light (2022) – critically acclaimed full-length album featuring longer, more refined compositions and heightened emotional depth.
Portrait of the Sleep Deprived (2024) – latest release, expanding their cinematic and atmospheric approach with greater dynamic contrast and textural complexity.
Hundred Year Old Man are regarded as one of the most compelling modern UK post metal bands, praised for their ability to merge crushing sludge heaviness with expansive, cinematic atmosphere.
