Finnish progressive metal outfit THE HYPOTHESIS is gearing up to release their new album "Evolve" on October 18th via Noble Demon. The band has just unleashed the second single "Here I Stand", along with an official music video that can be viewed below.
"'Here I Stand' narrates the story of a ruler who, despite warnings, builds an empire only to see it crumble under the weight of his own greed and selfishness," the band reveals. "As his kingdom collapses, he is left to face the consequences of his actions, surrounded by destruction and plagued by an unending torment. In the end, he stands alone, confronting the inevitability of his demise and the perpetual suffering it brings."
Hailing from the darkened realm of Kouvola, Finland, THE HYPOTHESIS was founded in 2009 as a melodic metal entity driven by the desire to break free from genre constraints and evolve with each musical endeavor. With former members now playing in renowned bands such as Opeth and Stratovarius, THE HYPOTHESIS is a powerhouse quartet with a relentless drive for musical excellence.
Emerging on the scene with their debut album "Origin" in 2016, followed by successful single releases in 2018, THE HYPOTHESIS signed with Noble Demon in 2024, marking a significant milestone in their musical journey. With the album "Evolve" just around the corner, fans of bands like Gojira, Textures, and Tesseract can anticipate a captivating sonic experience that pushes the boundaries of progressive metal.
