The Hirsch Effekt

Progressive Metal, Germany

Among the most prominent bands in German-speaking countries and beyond, Hanover-based THE HIRSCH EFFEKT is renowned for its uncompromising and extreme music. Its latest album KOLLAPS comes out in May 2020 and will probably be just as successful in the German charts as its predecessor ESKAPIST (number 21). Somewhere between progressive metal, electronica and core, the trio conjures up musical acrobatics that literally nail you to the wall.

THE HIRSCH EFFEKT has been part of the IMG STAGELINE family since 2017.

WHEN A LOT OF NOTES ARE NOT ENOUGH

Virtuosity. Complex. Emotional. The three Hanoverians Nils, Ilja and Moritz make music that engages the mind and touches the soul. At times brutal, at times disturbing, at times seeking the quiet nuance, THE HIRSCH EFFEKT meanders between genre boundaries and moves in a universe all of its own. The sometimes breathtaking technical skills never become an end in themselves: every note counts. Every word carries meaning. That is particularly evident in the captivating, high-energy live shows. THE HIRSCH EFFEKT are a great studio band—but even better live on stage.

The band's new, fifth album was finally released in May 2020. And we were able to support and accompany the boys in the production of their new music videos. But take a look and listen for yourself:

Nils, singer and guitarist:

"The endorsement at IMG STAGELINE has enabled us to take our show to new heights. Especially for a band that doesn't have an enormous budget at its disposal, but has lots of creative ideas and the drive to make things happen, it's worth its weight in gold that IMG STAGELINE provided us with the technical equipment. And if something breaks, we can be sure that we'll quickly have someone available to provide us with a replacement. Thank you!"
