The Hirsch Effekt release new music video for ‘Palingenesis’

THE HIRSCH EFFEKT have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Palingenesis, is taken from the German progressive metal trio’s upcoming new EP, SOLITAER, which is scheduled to  be released in August this year.

Speaking about the new song, bassist Ilja John Lappin says, “Palingenesis is my contribution to the SOLITAER EP, on which each band member wrote a song. It’s the memory of a path that I inevitably had to take. When life as we knew it suddenly came to a stop with the first lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic, I was forced to confront a very dark place that I had mentally arrived at. A crisis of purpose, sealed by a cycle of loneliness and depression as well as the tireless, and at the same time, unstable routine of the previous years, unfolded with full force in a new, unknown surrounding.

During this long period of isolation, I took a desperately needed break for myself. Unable to stop. Unable to understand who I actually had become over the years and where I had landed in life. Palingenesis is a hymn to the battle itself. To your own strength, of which you’re often sure you no longer have, especially when greater, darker clouds are gathering on the horizon once again. A hymn to the fight back to your own heartbeat.”
