Apocalyptic lounge act from Bristol, playing transgressive art rock while redefining the lines between music, self-exorcism, and surrealist architecture.

Drawing on disparate elements, from industrial to world music, ESOP's sound is sewn together by frontman Thomas Hawtin's baritone voice that ascends from crooning drawl to manic caterwaul above the angualtion below.

Their lyrics, full of symbols and slogans, are charged with unsettling, grotesque imagery, exploring both society and the self. Their dramatic live performances incorporate Old Testament fervour and man's earthy, obscene appetites.
