The Hirsch Effekt announce new EP ‘SOLITAER’

THE HIRSCH EFFEKT have announced a new EP!

Titled SOLITAER, the upcoming EP from the German progressive metal trio is the follow-up to last year’s Gregær EP, and is scheduled to be released in August this year, via Long Branch Records.

As a result of the social distancing restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic, this prompted the band to take a radical step: what if you not only recorded by yourself for the next release, but also wrote the songs completely alone? One song per band member. And so came about the concept of SOLITAER, which means “living individually”. In the end three songs were created and is rounded off by a band version of the song Gregaer, which was originally created as an orchestral version.

Also, you can view both the track list and artwork for the upcoming new EP below:

Track List: 

1. Palingenesis
2. Nares
3. Amorphus
4. Gregaer – Solitaer Version
