Today, German rock/metal trio The Hirsch Effekt release their newest single, 'Die Brücke'. It is the third track to be released from their new studio album, Der Brauch, which is out 30th January via Long Branch Records.
"'Die Brücke' – matching the music – takes on a less heavy theme," says singer Nils Wittrock. "It’s more of an everyday scene. Two people meet at home after a long day and ask each other how it went. One decides to go straight to bed with the child. The other chooses to keep working. Amidst the everyday stress, the protagonist – realizing how much the close environment depends on him – tries to remain a safe harbour." [photo credit: freakshot]

Since their formation The Hirsch Effekt have carved out a unique niche in heavy music, embracing limitless possibilities. Yet, despite - or perhaps because of - their elusiveness, the band have captivated a devoted audience.
While earlier works, despite their diversity, were still labelled “metal albums,” this new record explores paths first hinted at on the multi-layered second album, Holon : Anamnesis - the same album regarded as one of the best German-language records of all time. Der Brauch can be seen as a return to that pivotal point - and simultaneously as a bold step forward. Drummer Moritz Schmidt doesn’t entirely forgo blast beats, but the record demands a new heading. In the end, though, there is only one truth: it unmistakably sounds like The Hirsch Effekt.
The Hirsch Effekt are:
Nils Wittrock - Guitar, Vocals
Ilja John Lappin - Bass, Vocals
Moritz Schmidt - Drums
