HMLTD is a British art punk band from London, formed in 2015. The band consists of Henry Spychalski on vocals, Duc Peterman on guitar, Nicolas Mohnblatt on bass and keyboards, Achilleas Sarantaris on drums, and Seth Evans on keyboards since 2021.
With their unique blend of artistry and punk influences, HMLTD has gained recognition for their captivating performances and thought-provoking lyrics. Their music pushes boundaries and challenges societal norms, making them a standout presence in the music scene.
Since their formation, HMLTD has been making waves with their energetic live shows and experimental sound. They have garnered a dedicated fanbase who appreciate their fearless approach to creating music that defies categorization.

Ever since their emergence in early 2016&nbsp;HMLTD, avid advocates of the Gesamtkunstwerk,&nbsp;have always striven to give audiences more. On their wildly ambitious second album,&nbsp;they are realising these aims on a truly epic scale.

Created over the course of two years with a cast of 47 musicians – including a gospel choir and a 16-piece string orchestra –&nbsp;The Worm&nbsp;is less a concept album than a fully-fledged musical universe, transcending genre and medium. Set in a disorienting anachronistic version of Medieval England – as steeped in dystopian sci-fi fantasy as it is folklore and Old English mythology – it’s part political polemic, part deeply moving psychological journey.

Though always admired for their defiantly genre-agnostic approach,&nbsp;The Worm&nbsp;sees HMLTD pushing sonic experimentation to a whole new level, from dissonant free jazz riffing to vintage soul and English folk fusions to rock opera. Major musical touchpoints included Stravinsky’s ‘Rite&nbsp;Of&nbsp;Spring’, Pink Floyd and Nina Simone’s rendition of ‘Sinnerman’ and references for the world of The Worm included 14th century texts&nbsp;The Canterbury Tales&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Decameron, Aleksey German’s 2013 sci-fi film&nbsp;Hard To Be A God, Bergman’s&nbsp;The Seventh Seal&nbsp;and Tarkovsky’s&nbsp;Andrei Rublev and the hopeful narrative arc of 90s mecha anime series ‘Neon Genesis Evangelion’.&nbsp;
