The Hirsch Effekt

The Hirsch Effekt have realized their philosophical dream of outdoing perimeters and pigeonholing. The band's musical spectrum, ranging from Progressive Metal, Hardcore, Chamber Music, Death Metal, Jazz, Electronica & Indie to any other imaginable genre, is being completely deconstructed, and woven into an highly individualistic mash-up of its own. The trio, hailing from Hanover, Germany, seem eerily to embody the musical resonance chamber of the black hole. The artcore group, consisting of multi-instrumentalists Nils Wittrock (i.a. vocals, guitars), Ilja John Lappin (i.a. vocals, bass, cello) and Moritz Schmidt (drums), plays an extremely variable style of music, as well as combines various elements to the utter peak of sophistication. The end result is nothing less than a homogenous and enormous sound monster, nearly beating your speakers to death. Although the very first impressions coalesce into an epic, aggressive, and sinister sound, there is a specific personal touch and frankness in the band's German lyrics. They signify authenticity and closeness and stand out as a counterpart to the musical periphery. Disguised as Progressive Metal, The Hirsch Effekt are again twisting their habits sicker than ever before on their sixth full-length album "Urian" that sees the light of the day on September 29th 2023. The new album dives musically deep into the increasingly obtrusive ambivalence between crises and everyday life. www.thehirscheffekt.de
