Hob mask, Metgumbnerbone

3D Model

A 3D photogrammetry model of the eerie mask created by Alan English. It is actively used with several other masks by the seminal obscure 1980s industrial experimental group Metgumbnerbone, who are based in northern England. This model has been uploaded on 1st February 2020 to coincide with the release of Metgumbnerbone’s latest album “Anthropological Field Recordings for the Dispossessed”, which features new clean versions of previous materials and several previously unreleased tracks.

Background sound for hob features an extract from “For the Raven” by Metgumbnerbone (1984 cassette version).

Photographs taken 2017. Many thanks to J.M. Mylotte, creative director of Metgumbnerbone, for allowing me to capture this spirit of folkhorror and for permission to use an extract of “For the Raven”.
