The Hirsch Effekt release new song ‘Torka’

THE HIRSCH EFFEKT have released a new song!

The new song, titled Torka, is taken from the band’s upcoming new album, Kollaps, which is scheduled to be released in May this year, via Long Branch Records.

Speaking about the new song, the band says, “Torka is another composition that was written by Ilja solely. Except for the drums and one guitar double part, all instruments were played by Ilja. The song’s root can be found in the Industrial-like electronic bass figure that is first introduced in the intro and later picked up by the bass guitar and even later by the guitars and drums. The ending is nothing less than a reprise of the interlude Moment, just as a band (instead of a strings) arrangement. The lyrics of the song tell a fictional story that is settled on the Easter Island and deals with the extinction of its inhabitants. The same story is later continued on the album’s title track Kollaps. Torka is one of the more melancholic songs on the album.”

Kollaps is set for release on May 8th via Long Branch Records.
