about

Penance Stare is an experimental black metal band based in and around Newcastle Upon Tyne, established in 2017.
Vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Esme Louise Newman has been active in music since the late 00’s, performing punk and noise rock with the bands Etai Keshiki and Commiserations, as well as electronic music as Melting, among several others.
In 2017, Newman began to self-record and release solo material under the Penance Stare name from her new home in the North East of England, eventually issuing an EP and two full-length albums. In contrast to the sounds of her former projects, this new project explored influences from black metal, shoegaze, darkwave and doom metal.
In 2019, drummer Sklyar Gill, formerly of doom metal band Proboscis, was recruited, and work began on a third album as a duo, as well as several live shows and a short tour.
The project has received positive attention from press outlets such as Wire, The Quietus and Noisey, and have shared stages with like-minded acts including Big Brave, Wrekmeister Harmonies, Bong and Plague Rider.
Outside of the band, the duo maintain multiple additional projects, Gill is a vocalist in the ambient drone band Möbius, plays drums in Black Holes Are Cannibals, and has appeared on several Lovely Wife recordings. Newman produces noise and dark ambient music as 1727 and black metal as Petrine Cross.

Esme Louise Newman - vocals, guitar, synthesiser, electronics
