HEMINA have revealed new details about their upcoming album!

Last month, the Aussie progressive metallers had confirmed that their new album Night Echoes would be released in August this year alongside releasing a new music video for We Will. Now, the band have released further details about their upcoming album.

The concept of Night Echoes reintroduces the son born to the protagonist of their 2011 debut Synthetic, following the son’s journey approximately 10 years after his father’s suicide. Despite his best efforts, the central character of Night Echoes appears to be retreading the emotional footsteps of his deceased father, fumbling to keep hold of the shattered pieces of a life that has been made for him against his will.

Speaking about the upcoming album, vocalist and guitarist Mitch Coull says, “you could say this album is a decade in the making; A culmination of all our efforts, both individually and collectively. The song writing, the hours of practise to develop techniques that would lead to particular riffs, lead passages or chord progressions,the rhythms and harmonies we’ve crafted over the past decade have all led to this one moment in time…which is the release of Night Echoes. Although this album is very HEMINA, we are treading new waters adding new elements to our sound. 80’s synth soundscapes, 90’s soul and pop… we’ve added so much, while keeping close to our fundamental sound – grooving metal with monster melodies, harmonies and syncopated riffage. It’s somewhat a departure from Venus, but at the very essence of it all, the grooving, prog-metal heart is still beating underneath. I can’t wait for this album to infect the ears of our fans and the public. I am proud of the achievements we have made as a band and I’m humbled by the journey that has lead us here.”

Also, the band have revealed both the track list and artwork for the upcoming album; both of which are available to view below:
