The Hirsch Effekt bassist Ilja John Lappin on PALINGENESIS:

"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. In able to stop. In able 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."

THE HIRSCH EFFEKT Announce New EP 'SOLITAER' Coming August 26th, 2022

German progressive metal trio The Hirsch Effekt have announced their new EP, 'SOLITAER', for August 26th, 2022.

The social distancing restrictions of the Corona era prompted The Hirsch Effekt to take a radical step: what if you not only recorded by yourself for the next release, but also wrote the songs completely alone? One song per band member. And so came about the concept of SOLITAER, which means "living individually" and thus represents the antonym to gregarious - Social distancing as a songwriting concept. The opinion of the other band members was welcome, but required no necessity and didn’t need to influence the work of the respective musicians. In the end, three songs were created - all of which showcase typical characteristics that are part of The Hirsch Effekt recipe, but do not sound like typical The Hirsch Effekt songs. It not only sounds like an extremely exciting experiment, but also frankly speaking: exceedingly extreme. The SOLITAER EP is rounded off by a band version of the song "Gregaer", which was originally created as an orchestral version.

'SOLITAER' will be released as:

limited and serially-numbered LP Edition incl. black vinyl
Exclusive Napalm Records Shop Edition incl. colored vinyl
CD Edition incl. both 'SOLITAER' and 'GREGAER' EP's
Streaming/Digital

Also, The Hirsch Effekt's latest vinyl EP, 'GREGAER', is now available again as a limited reissue with a red-colored LP.
