The German post-black metal masters Heretoir unveil  their upcoming  fourth full-length offering, „Solastalgia“, in its entirety. It will be released in various formats on September 19th  via AOP Records. The pre-orders are still  active at this link:  https://shop.aoprecords.de. The album artwork was done by the incredibly talented Rudolf Hima.

With their fourth full-length “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. While some of the albums’ 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.

The joint songwriting of David, Matthias and Nils creates the new sound of Heretoir. After exploring their dark and grim side on “Nightsphere”, Heretoir have gone in a different direction this time. The songs of “Solastalgia” cover a wide range of emotional and heavy music. From Modern Metal to Black Metal to Post Rock to maybe even Screamo. Whatever you want to call it: essentially, this is pure melancholy and a spark of hope in utter darkness.
