Hippotraktor announce new album ‘Stasis’
HIPPOTRAKTOR have announced a new album!
Titled Stasis, the upcoming album from the Belgian post-metal band is the follow-up to 2021’s Meridian, and is scheduled to be released in June this year, via Pelagic Records.
“Stasis tells a story of human nature,” explains percussionist/vocalist Stefan De Graef about the album’s narrative, which continues where Meridian left us. “As the main character enters a new world in which he is confronted with other humans for the first time, he acquaints himself with their customs and ethics, discovering generosity and empathy, but also greed, jealousy and hatred.” Rather than chronologically, the story unfolds in retrospection as our protagonist looks back upon his life among his kin, his struggle with good and evil, and his fight against the stasis of living a selfish, amoral life.
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Silver Tongue.
