THE HIRSCH EFFECT

Mathcore, Black Metal, Art Rock, Progressive Metal

Disguised as progressive metal, The Hirsch Effekt once again twist habits on their sixth full-length album. Musically, the new album dives deep into the increasingly intrusive ambivalence of crises and everyday life. "Urian" is the name given to the uninvited guest, whose encounter is usually quite unwelcome.it captivates you sonically for just under an hour and cleverly points out all the crookedly wound crap with a sly embrace!

Urian takes his time, letting us breathe and catch our breath between powerful continuous pattering. Hard approaches in front of atmospheric collages - sometimes sensitive-acoustic, with sophisticated vocals and groovy passages - until Urian hits you hard in the side again.clearly less conceptual than the 2020 album "Kollaps", it is nevertheless an absolute further development. Lyrical ciphers seem more intimate, references and references are seemingly obvious. Socio-political topics are discussed, in which the musicians critically question themselves and current developments. In addition to bots that nestle into human minds in Insta-comments in a democracy-destroying manner, The Hirsch Effekt give a voice to those who have none or to those for whom all the good things in life are still waiting.

From this dystopian, yet clear understanding of the world and values, a sane hope emerges, thanks to which Urian can still linger for tea.Urian reflects and looks back:New material has been released in each of the last 4 years - despite the contaminated years, The Hirsch Effekt have surfed a concert wave as best they could.They opened the Columbiahalle for Knorkator in Berlin, recently in front of Our Mirage and left an enthusiastic audience at several club concerts on their multi-part headliner tour.2021 a high-quality acoustic session was created with "Gregær", which was followed by arrangements for piano by Anthony Williams, performed live at many concert openings. 2022 brought the EP "Solitaer" with individual productions of the songs otherwise written as a team. In between, back in the studio, rewiring with companions, roadies and sound engineers and reflecting on the processes in the podcast of the "Deer Radio Show", all mercilessly driven by the curse and blessing of extensive liveness and the determination to pursue supernatural songwriting, dance has established itself in front of the stage despite sudden rhythm changes, communal warmth and exuberant-aggressive joy.
