Hubris – Metempsychosis

Art As Catharsis – 2020

Rock, Post, Ambient, Progressive, Metal

Rated: ***

I wonder how many Swiss band we have mentioned over the past ten years? The amazing Feuerzeug ofcourse and the equally stunning Six Months of Sun. And now we get to mention Hubris. Their Metempsychosis album will be released somewhere back in March 2020 by Art As Catharsis and is once again a beautiful instrumental post rock and post metal record that celebrates all the good sides of ambient rock. The Fribourg quartet knows how to paint those wide and tranquil vistas and then expertly distort them into an impressionistic array of sentiments and moods. By sheer coincidence we are reading Mythos by Stephen Fry at this very moment; and the album stands tall as an exploration of Greek mythos and mortality through the medium of technical post-rock.
