HILLTOPS ARE FOR DREAMERS - Drops "Hyacinth"

UK-based metal band Hilltops Are For Dreamers is excited to reveal a new single and lyric video, "Hyacinth", from the upcoming EP, The Tragedy Of Being Human, of which more details are coming shortly.

The band comments on the new track: "Hyacinth is a short-lived flower; it blooms in spring and probably lasts only three to four years. It's the short path of life, the narrow middle part of the hourglass where the sand passes through before it settles. A more up-tempo song with a blackened/death approach on guitar riffing but melodic vocals as a lead. Couple of Opeth references with clean guitars at parts and a catchy chorus to accompany it".

Hilltops Are For Dreamers is an ambitious metal project that features a sound with goth and prog atmospheres. The goal is to create influential music following the vision of a no-boundaries-physical or not-world where people connect with sounds and emotions.

Since 2018, the band has self-released the self-titled EP (January 2020) - mainly focused on a post-hardcore direction, it successfully blended early 00s metalcore elements with blues licks and catchy melodies. During the first Covid-19 lockdown, the band released the split digital EP, A Transition (July 2020), with the fellow Repent For Joy, pushing its music a step further. The band's debut full-length, In Disbelief, was released by Rockshots Records in March 2022, achieving acclaimed success and positive reviews - with a worldwide distribution in physical and digital format. The album was a world of extremes and vastly different to the band's musical past. It blended black metal with acoustic blues melodies while flirting with progressive structures and heavy riffing, explored electronic and cinematic paths, but often visited post-hardcore roots.
