A band is only as strong as the bond between its members…

An unbreakable brotherhood, shared personal history, and proven creative chemistry fortify the bond at the heart of OBEYER. Leveraging the strength of their union to maximum effect, the Northampton, UK quartet—Carl Brown [vocals], Jamie Steadman [guitar], David Bartlett [bass], and Lewis Niven [drums]—pummel with unmatched power, fusing bone-rattling metallic grooves with intricate, yet infectious musicality, subtle melody, piercing screams, and pure pit-ready intensity.

This future-facing signature sound surges to life on their 2024 full-length debut, Chemical Well [3DOT RECORDINGS], and more to come.

“First and foremost, OBEYER is a collective of friends who like making music together,” says Carl. “We’ll always have our friendship. No matter what happens, nothing will stop us from hanging out and creating. We want to push this as far as we can.”

The band cultivated their chemistry and friendship over two decades. The guys connected through the scene in the Midlands. Initially, they congregated under the name LAY SIEGE during 2010. Fan favorite releases followed, including Obolus EP [2012] and hopeisnowhere [2015]. They laid waste to stages and garnered acclaim from the likes of The Guardian and more. Even as the members started families and held down day jobs, they religiously adhered to a weekly jamming schedule, getting together every Sunday.

With Chemical Well out, I had the pleasure to talk to the guitarist Jamie Steadman on the new album and much more on behind the release and more on Obeyer. Check out the complete coverage on the below YouTube Video.
