[news] Sweden’s The HERO Releases "Monster Hunter" and "MMXX"

The HERO, from Stockholm, Sweden, delivers heavy, dark and melancholic hard rock and metal with a broad appeal that reaches beyond genre boundaries, blending gothic, power, symphonic, progressive and doom influences. Formed in 2003, the band has evolved over the past two decades into a dynamic and commanding presence.

At the heart of The HERO’s sound are moody, melodic baritone vocals, crushing guitars, thunderous bass and powerful drums. Together, they create strong, memorable melodies that stay with the listener long after the music stops. The result is both solid and distinctive, sometimes majestic, other times haunting. Each instrument plays a defined role, rather than simply building a wall of sound, striking a balance between hooks, groove and drama as each track unfolds with twists and turns. The vocals, brooding and smooth, bring a sombre depth that perfectly complements the music.

In the summer of 2017, The HERO toured the United States, including a show at the legendary Whisky A Go Go in Hollywood. In August 2020, they released the album "MMXX", which was initially available only as a digital release due to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. That has now changed.

In 2024, the band returned with a brand-new album titled "Monster Hunter", marking a powerful new chapter in their journey. The HERO is ready to strike. Heavy music is their weapon. Prepare to rock.
