chronology
Holon: Hiberno
(2010) 		Holon: anamnesis -

Holon: Anamnesis is the second studio album by the artcore band The Hirsch Effekt . It was released on August 31, 2012 and is the 2nd part of the Holon trilogy.

style

In Holon: anamnesis , the band combines progressive metal , indie rock , math and emocore with musical styles outside of these styles as electronica and orchestral music. The title of the album (in German: " Holon : Reminder") is linked directly to the name of the debut album Holon: Hiberno .

Texts

The album is without exception written in German-language texts, with the exception of the question "What took you so long?" In the piece Limerent . The subject of the long-distance relationship that has ended is lyrically taken up by Holon: Hiberno and continued. After the initial euphoria that breaks lyrical I in the course of the album rapidly to the situation and his fears ( Ligaphob lat. League , "binding" and Greek. -Phob , "anxious").

"... maybe that will cleanse me of my fear of looking us in the eye."

- agitation

Eventually the other person ends the relationship,

"... if nothing remains, to tell me, to show me: That was once and for all."

- madness

which leads to an outburst of anger ( Ira , Latin "anger"),

"What do you think, who you are, to fuck my ego like that?"

- Ira

which eventually ends in acceptance.

"Maybe it's much better that way, better for you anyway."

- Ira

The final datorie ends the album with resignation and confidence that it will improve:

"As long as I suffer for my own heart - what am I proving to whom?"

- Datoria

The album opens and closes with the words: "If you turn around now, it's your own fault." The sentence has two meanings: on the one hand the euphoria, but also naivety at the beginning of the relationship, on the other hand the struggle with coming to terms with the end.

After the piece Datorie you can hear the audio track of a video message that singer Nils Wittrock once received from his girlfriend. A shorter sample of this was already on Holon: Hiberno in the song Laxamentum. to listen.

Arrangements

The album begins and ends with orchestral sounds. String and wind instruments were arranged using full scores , and The Hirsch Effekt with Tim Tautorat and Max Trieder were assisted by a production team. 32 guest musicians can be heard on Holon: Anamnesis .

reception

The German-speaking music media emphasize the maturity and professionalism of the record's consistently positive criticism. Fabian Broicher from the music blog Rote Raupe thinks Holon: Anamnesis is "three to four tracks more amazing than the debut" and writes:

"On top of that, I'm pretty sure that there won't be a comparable record this year that so cleverly combines the styles of an entire record collection so coherently."

- Fabian Broicher

Carsten Sandkämper from Visions awards the highest number of points (12 points) in his evaluation and finds:

"Up to the congenial clarification of a role reversal (this spoiler would simply be too much of a good thing), Holon: Anamnesis has trumped its predecessor."

- Caarsten Sandkämper

Mark Read from Plattentests.de awards 8 out of 10 points in his review and writes:

“The Hirsch Effekt are still a very exciting band. (...) Weird riffs rub against each other, while the band softens every emotional drama with odd rhythms and Wittrock oscillates inimitably between lamentation and wild barking. "
