The track offers a glimpse into the variety of elements on the album, including powerful and varied drumming, poignant and melancholic melodies, infectious choruses, and breathtaking soundscapes \u2013 all complimented by Britta's versatile vocals.\n\nThe band comments about the track and video:\n\u201cIn a way, the video is a continuation of our first single, \u2018Under Fire\u2019, from the last album. It\u2019s dedicated to a storm and its indomitable energy. Experience this debut single and join us as we navigate \u2018Through The Storm\u2019 together!\u201c\n\nThe band adds:\n\n\u201cWe are far beyond proud to present our second album Dormant to you! The album will grab you with its intensity from the first second on and won't let you go. We invested a lot of energy, dedication and passion to create this monumental and melancholic piece of melodic death metal. Having played countless shows over the last two years, Dormant captures the energy of HIRAES\u2019 live performances and places the songs right between heart and gut.\n\nOnce again, none other than the talented staff of Fascination Street Studios under the direction of Jens Bogren are responsible for the refinement of our sound. We are so much looking forward to unleashing Dormant upon all those metalheads out there!\u201c\n\nWatch the new HIRAES clip for \u201cThrough The Storm\u201d, now premiering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PnFwBzDtpoc\">HERE<\/a>\n\nCompared to their lauded 2021 debut, Solitary, it's immediately evident that HIRAES did not only grow within their sound due to countless live appearances, but have invested more time and energy into developing their sophisticated songwriting and production, leaning further into their own unique sound profile. Due to the use of varying keys and sonic elements, Dormant is undoubtedly fresh without sacrificing the nuances that caused their first album to connect so successfully with fans.\n\nWith their very first offering, HIRAES already created an exciting new melodic death emergence, built upon a brutalized vocal attack, intense melodies and aggressive guitars. On Dormant, HIRAES flexes their own trademarks in an intensified way, ranging from versatile drumming, catchy riffs and hymn-like melodies to enthralling soundscapes and the impressive vocal onslaught of singer Britta G\u00f6rtz. Dormant is a stirring, intense and dynamic death metal affair that is both heavily brutal and dark, yet full of melodic melancholy. This album is highly recommended for fans of Insomnium, Dark Tranquillity, Arch Enemy, Amon Amarth and At The Gates!\n\nPre-Order Dormant <a href=\"https:\/\/napalmrecords.com\/hiraes\">HERE<\/a>!\n\n<strong>Dormant track listing:<\/strong>\n1.
