PIJN.

Pijn, a Manchester-based collective, combines elements of prog, post-rock, and symphonic music to create sweeping and evocative compositions. Their latest album, "From Low Beams Of Hope," is more progressive and free-flowing compared to their previous release, "Loss." The band was founded by guitarist Joe Clayton and former drummer Nick Watmough, who drew inspiration from bands like Russian Circles and Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Clayton's personal experiences, including the loss of a loved one, have influenced the band's music, and he hopes that others who have gone through similar hardships can find catharsis in their music.
