HEXA MERA UNLEASH 360° VIDEO FOR TITLE TRACK
Belgian modern melodic death metallers HEXA MERA have unleashed a 360° video for the title-track from their second upcoming full-length album, "Enlightenment", which will be released on March 31st. The track is now streaming via the URL below.



The band has the following to say about the track: 'Enlightenment' is the titletrack of our new album. The song is heavy yet fragile, and the lyrics tie the whole album together. It's a very emotional track, as if the five of us took a slice of our soul and put it into music. It's about finding your path, finding a sense of purpose. It's about accepting your place in the universe. It's about enlightenment. We get goosebumps every time we play it."

The album was recorded at Empyrean Studio, mixed at OceanSide Studio by Ace Zec (SPOIL ENGINE, DIABLO BLVD,..) and mastered at Fascination Street Studios By Jens Bogren (AMON AMARTH, OPETH, SOILWORK,..).

The artwork of HEXA MERA’s follow-up to 2014’s “Human Entropy” was created by Colin Marks from Rain Song Design (SYLOSIS, THREAT SIGNAL, SCAR SYMMETRY,..)

HEXA MERA previously revealed the tracklist of “Enlightenment”:

1. Empyrean
2. Anthropic Principle
3. Inhuman
4. Divide et Impera
5. Brotherhood
6. Dare to Know
7. Union
8. Archetype of Hate
9. Godless
10. This Bleeding
11. Enlightenment

The band has the following to say about "Enlightenment": "The idea to use the age of enlightenment as theme for this album was forged right after we released our debut album ‘Human Entropy’. The world was and still is spinning out of control: Extremists became a larger threat to our civilization, human and animal rights are being violated, political correctness is censoring the truth, media focusing on sales instead of news value, and so much more… the world never was an utopic place, but with the information we got, it seemed to become worse. We felt fear, disappointment, but most of all, we felt anger. Because we felt powerless, the only thing we could do was to speak out, and this is exactly what this album is about."

The official ‘Enlightenment’ release-show will take place on April 1st at the renowned ‘Nijdrop’ venue in Opwijk, Belgium. More information can be found here.

Yannick Schmit – Vocals

The age of enlightenment was a historic jump towards rationality and logic. Today however, we seem to be plunging into darkness. With their newest album “Enlightenment” Hexa Mera emphasizes the need for intellect and knowledge in these troubled times. On this record, the 5 young wolves wrestle with dogma’s, creationism and everything unjustly limiting humanity. Injecting their multisided influences in 11 tracks, this dose of groovy melodic death hits oldschool hard in a modern way. The Hexa Mera stampede grabs you by the throat with lots of groove and a taste for melodic, shimmering harmonies.
