Hubris. - Metamorphosis (2020) EN

I have repeated myself over and over again for the last half a year but I'll say it again: Switzerland recently makes a real goldmine of great post-rock and similar genres. Another proof for that is the Fribourg-based band Hubris with a dot.

As the Australian label Art As Catharsis sates, the Swiss combine on the album "both Greek mythology and their native Swiss landscapes as prime drivers for the album’s conception." Also massive sounds with lively melodies and atmosphere generation with the catchiness of the tracks. And so not super hasty but heavy Hepius at the beginning transforms into the very fast and constantly changing Dionysus. 

And the changes continue throughout the whole album. Massive Adonis  is followed by an ambient soundscape with spoken word ornaments of Icarus and finally by the very much satisfying finish in Heracles. Hubris. do what every good post-rock band should - they are open to all inspirations, combine the genre's oppositions and as a result, created a diverse and exciting album.
