The Hirsch Effekt announce new album ‘Urian’
THE HIRSCH EFFEKT have announced a new album!
Titled Urian, the upcoming album from the German progressive metal band is the follow-up to 2020’s Kollaps, and is scheduled to be released in September this year, via Long Branch Records.
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Agora. The new song is the second single to be released from the upcoming album, following on from the title track which was released last month.
Speaking about the new song, the band says, “during a stay at a vacation home in 2021, we developed a number based on a short guitar riff with acoustic guitar and electric bass. It’s no coincidence that you can tell that Ilja and Nils listened to Californication a lot when they were young: Road Trippin was definitely in the back of their minds at the time. When Ilja‘s cello parts came in, however, Agora drifted into another, almost Celtic atmosphere.
In terms of content, it is a very personal, autobiographical song. Agora not only reflects finally arriving in the age of crises, but also a literal and genuine, humane tightness. Triggered not least by the pandemic, which lasted throughout the entire album writing phase and influenced everything, and all the lockdowns and isolations that went with it.”
