Holon: Hiberno is the debut album by the Hanover-based band The Hirsch Effekt and part 1 of the Holon trilogy. It was released on March 19, 2010.

construction

The album is designed as a concept album and consists of related pieces. The songs are arranged in closed chapters, similar to a stage play. The multipart prelude ( epistle ) is followed by various other chapters, interrupted by occasional interludes ( interval ). The album ends with the multi-part final movement ( epitaph ). 17 guest musicians and a choir can be heard on the album.

Style and reception

Holon means "memory" in German. Lyricist Nils Wittrock deals with themes of love and relationship pain. According to Liner Notes, some text fragments come from poems by Herbert Hindringer .

On "Holon: Hiberno" the band uses influences from various pop-cultural, chamber music and jazzy styles of music, including indie rock , progressive metal and choir . The texts are often only a few lines long and their expression and mood are influenced by emocore and German-speaking emopunk. The album received positive criticism and attention mainly from punk and hardcore media such as the Ox-Fanzine or the Babyblauen Seiten . The magazine eclipsed or the influential magazine Visions also noticed the band and write:

"Here is the album of the moment, the debut of a monstrous band, a frighteningly great game with no limits."

- Carsten Sandkämper

The e-zine Plattentests.de also praised "Holon: Hiberno":

"" Holon: hiberno "sucks the listener in from the first second and hurls them through extremes. (...) Are they allowed to do that? To publish such an atmospherically dense, high-class debut album? A record full of contrasts and chaos, but which remains incredibly homogeneous in itself? "
