German prog metal trio The Hirsch Effekt share their new single 'Urian' via Long Branch Records, a gloomy portrayal of present-day humans’ togetherness and opposition. The first track released following their Gregaer EP (2021) and Solitaer EP (2022), 'Urian' takes darker approach than their previous work.

After charting at #21 on the German album charts, and formidable performances at Wacken Open Air, Full Force Festival, ArcTanGent and as recent headliners at the renowned Euroblast Festival, The Hirsch Effekt give us an impressive taste of their new material with 'Urian'.

Bass player Ilja John Lappin comments: "We’re glad to release our new single 'Urian', which presents our first song in 2023 and the first since our latest release Solitaer EP (2022). This time we dived musically and thematically a little deeper into grimmer abysses as well as into the madness of many, but were able to return - albeit a little haunted - with a song that represents and combines the classic Hirsch Effekt elements."

The Hirsch Effekt, consisting of multi-instrumentalists Nils Wittrock (vocals, guitars), Ilja John Lappin (bass, vocals) and Moritz Schmidt (drums), play an extremely variable style of music, performed to the peak of sophistication, resulting in a homogenous and enormous sound monster. Their epic, aggressive, and sinister sound, is complimented with a personal touch and frankness in the German lyrics. They signify authenticity and closeness, and stand out as a counterpart to the musical tapestry.

The Hirsch Effekt have also announced their Urian Tour 2023, which marks their first major headliner since their Eskapist album tour (2017) due to the pandemic. Check online for dates.

The Hirsch Effekt are:

Moritz Schmidt (Drums)
Nils Wittrock (Guitar, Vocals)
Ilja John Lappin (Bass, Vocals)
