This Friday, on January 26, 2024, Germany-based melodic death metal force HIRAES – featuring former members of DAWN OF DISEASE and CRITICAL MESS – will finally unleash their sophomore studio album, entitled Dormant, through Napalm Records. In support of their upcoming album, the band has announced a series of live dates kicking off on Friday, followed by a tour with psy-core metal act Dymytry in March. Find all upcoming shows listed below! To shorten your wait, today, the band is presenting a video clip for the furious album title track “Dormant”!
With their very first offering, HIRAES already created an exciting new melodic death emergence, built upon a brutalized vocal attack, intense melodies and aggressive guitars. On Dormant, HIRAES flexes their own trademarks in an intensified way, ranging from versatile drumming, catchy riffs and hymn-like melodies to enthralling soundscapes and an impressive vocal onslaught by singer Britta. From the epic intro of album opener “Through The Storm” – which bursts into a thunderous melodic death metal assault – to fast-paced ragers like “We Owe No One”, HIRAES delivers a truly versatile album performance!
