Our Take
Our Take
Album: HIRAES - Solitary
Rating: 8.5/10
Channeling the fury and melancholy of a lone wolf prowling the desolate landscape of modern metal, HIRAES' debut album Solitary is a tour de force of aggression and introspection. From the haunting whispers of "Under Fire" to the blistering riffs of "Eyes Over Black," this German supergroup (featuring members of Dawn of Disease and Disbelief) proves that isolation can breed creativity of the highest order.
With production that hits harder than a sledgehammer to the skull and vocals that soar to ethereal heights, Solitary is a relentless onslaught of pure metal energy. The band's ability to seamlessly blend intricate melodies with bone-crushing breakdowns is nothing short of mesmerising, keeping listeners on their toes from start to finish.
Tracks like "Grain of Sand" showcase HIRAES' unique ability to blend moments of delicate beauty with sheer sonic brutality, creating a listening experience that is as cathartic as it is exhilarating. And let's not forget the anthemic "1000 Lights" with its infectious hooks and heart-pounding rhythm - a true highlight of an already stellar album.
In a world where isolation is becoming the norm, HIRAES' Solitary is a timely reminder of the power of music to connect us all. So grab your headphones, crank up the volume, and let the metal magic wash over you - you won't regret it.
