German purveyors of soaring post-metal, Heretoir, released a new single/video, "You Are The Night". The track is taken from the upcoming album, Solastalgia, which will be released on 19 September via AOP Records. "You Are The Night" is already the third single taken from the upcoming Heretoir album.
Straightforward, uncompromising and melancholic, the song embodies all the facets for which the band has been known for more than 15 years. Heretoir present themselves as a modern melodic metal band in the year 2025, but connoisseurs will immediately notice that the emotional depth and atmospheric density of earlier albums are also transported by a heartbreaking and honest song like “You Are The Night”.
With Solastalgia, the German purveyors of soaring post-metal work their way to their innermost core and deliver what is easily their most vulnerable and accessible record to date. "Solastalgia describes the grief over the loss of the natural world", the band explains. The very existence of such a term brutally exposes our alienation from this planet – easy prey for these uncompromising analysts of human misery. While some songs deal with environmental issues, others focus on personal feelings and the challenges of human existence in a rapidly changing world. Heretoir has always been pure emotion. The pain of modern life set to music. And yet the desperate beauty of Solastalgia proves to be an unlikely source of comfort. Link
