HIRAES have announced their debut album!

Titled Solitary, the upcoming album from the German-based melodic death metal band is their debut full-length offering and is scheduled to be released in June this year, via Napalm Records.

Speaking about the upcoming album, the band says, “our debut album Solitary is the result of the collaboration of five musicians who burn with passion for melodic death metal. With its incredible emotional energy, it will captivate fans of the genre in no time. Hymn-like melodies and catchy riffing meet versatile drumming and the very varied growls of our singer Britta. The result is a unique blend of the best that melodic death metal has to offer. Rounded off by stunning sound, refined at Fascination Street Studios under the direction of Jens Bogren, and strong artwork by Costin Chioreanu, we are really more than satisfied with our first album. We can’t wait to finally present Solitary to the metal community on June 25, 2021!”

Alongside the announcement of the debut album, the band have released a new music video for the first song lifted from the upcoming album; Under Fire.

Speaking about the song and its accompanying music video, the band adds, “we are more than proud to finally present you our first single. Under Fire is a monumental melodic death metal neckbreaker that combines a mixture of very different elements of our music: from catchy and melodic-melancholic parts to groovy headbang passages and fast up-tempo drumming – there’s something for everyone here. Together with the very cool video, Under Fire is guaranteed to blow you away!”
