Een fijne portie melodic death met gruntende vocalen die je trommelvliezen aan gort rijten maar tegelijkertijd overgoten met sprankelende gitaarsolo's. Dat is de formule van Solitary, de tweede single en titelnummer uit het aankomende debuutalbum van Hiraes. Release datum wordt 25 juni en Hiraes' partner in crime wordt Napalm Records.
Hiraes werd opgericht nadat de band Dawn Of Disease vorig jaar ter ziele ging en de vier muzikanten besloten om verder te gaan met vocaliste Britta Gƶrtz. Een schot in de roos want Gƶrtz beschikt over een gespierd stel stembanden.
Eerder verscheen ook al de single Under Fire.

German melodic death metal demon HIRAES is set to release its first sonic onslaught to the masses with the long-awaited, fearless debut offering, Solitary, on June 25, 2021 via Napalm Records.
Today, after unleashing their raging first single, āUnder Fireā, the unit - comprised of members of the disbanded Dawn Of Disease and with the powerful Britta Gƶrtz (Critical Mess, ex-Cripper) on vocals - sets free their second offering and title track āSolitaryā, along with an exciting official video. Heavy-driven riffs evoke a dark and explosive melodic death metal storm fueled by a fierce growling attack, dropping jaws and leaving a long-lasting impression.
HIRAES already established its own remarkable identity built upon a smashing femme vocal attack, intense melodies and charging guitars, led by guitarist Lukas Kerk as main songwriter. An atmospheric, instrumental intro introduces the album opener āShadows Break'', whilst showcasing the impressive vocal onslaught of seasoned frontwoman Britta Gƶrtz shortly after. āGrain Of Sandā sets the next exclamation mark while delivering an unrelenting attack of smashing riffs along with an inexorable vocal performance, followed by standouts such as brutal ā1000 Lightsā and razor-sharp āEyes Over Black'', proving that HIRAES donāt decelerate for a second.
This massive melodic death metal assault leaves no scope for weakness and serves an exciting take on the genre with hymnlike melodies, enthralling drums and guitar riffing as well as breathtaking hooklines. Topped with the distinctive and versatile performance of Britta Gƶrtz, this powerful new formation and its debut, Solitary, is a must have for fans of bands like INSOMNIUM, AT THE GATES, ARCH ENEMY and AMON AMARTH.
