Hope Drone is a Brisbane, Australia-based atmospheric metal band formed in 2011. Fusing elements of atmospheric black metal, post-metal, sludge, and post-rock, the band crafts expansive, emotionally charged compositions built around crushing heaviness, haunting melodies, and immersive soundscapes. Their music explores themes of impermanence, nihilism, and the human condition, earning acclaim through releases such as *Hope Drone* (2013), *Cloak of Ash* (2015), *Void Lustre* (2019), and *Husk* (2021). Hope Drone has become one of Australia's most respected acts in the atmospheric extreme metal scene through its dynamic songwriting and deeply evocative sound.
