About YHWH Nailgun

YHWH Nailgun have carved a distinctive niche in the alternative rock scene since their formation in the early 2010s, rapidly evolving from underground darlings to a band with a formidable national presence. Hailing from the industrial heartlands of the North, their sound is a potent cocktail of driving riffs, atmospheric textures, and the raw, impassioned vocals of frontman Elias Thorne. They draw influences from post-punk intensity and grunge’s melodic angst, creating a sound that is both ferociously powerful and deeply introspective.

Their breakthrough album, “The Iron Harvest,” propelled them into the wider consciousness, featuring fan favourites like “Screaming Silence” and “Electric Echoes,” tracks that perfectly encapsulate their blend of sonic aggression and lyrical depth. The current lineup, featuring Thorne on vocals and rhythm guitar, Chloe “Hex” Maxwell on bass, Liam O’Connell on lead guitar, and Ben Carter on drums, is a tightly coiled unit of musical precision and explosive chemistry. Each member contributes to the band’s signature sound, delivering intricate yet impactful performances that elevate their studio recordings and truly shine in a live setting.
