German prog metal act The Hirsch Effekt will join Caligula's Horse on their extensive European tour, including UK dates. Following the trio's recent appearances on stage as support for Leprous as part of their Urian album tour, they will now be joining the Australian prog band for 17 dates in May.
Hitting #21 in the German album charts, appearances at Wacken, ArcTanGent, UK Tech-Fest, Full Force and as headliners at Euroblast, The Hirsch Effekt have recently caused quite a stir in the scene. In September 2023, Urian, the band's sixth studio album, was released via Long Branch Records.
UK dates as follows:
May 29: Nottingham, Rescue Rooms
May 30: Bristol, Thekla
May 31: Manchester, Gorilla
May 01: London, O2 Academy Islington

Following the completion of their Holon trilogy (Holon: Hiberno - 2010, Holon: Anamnesis - 2012, Holon: Agnosie - 2015), the 2017 album Eskapist, the 2020 album Kollaps and the subsequent cementing of their reputation as a live band that smashes everything to pieces, Urian brings together everything that has allowed The Hirsch Effekt to evolve over the years on a whole new level. Thematically, the band take up current world events on the new album and deals with all the crises we are currently surrounded by.
The trio's complex, metal and yet incredibly unique sound is a one-of-a-kind phenomenon in the German music scene. Extreme metal stands alongside anthemic choruses and orchestral arrangements. However, virtuosity is not degraded to a meaningless vehicle with The Hirsch Effekt. Every song lyrically touches places that emotionally impact the listener - as a result, concerts by The Hirsch Effekt often turn into a collective frenzy of movement and love.
With four chart albums in the bag and more tours in the pipeline, 2024 promises to be a memorable year for The Hirsch Effekt.
The Hirsh Effekt are:
Moritz Schmidt (Drums)
Nils Wittrock (Guitar, Vocals)
Ilja John Lappin (Bass, Vocals)
