The HERO from Stockholm, Sweden, deliver heavy, dark and melancholic hard rock/metal which also has a broad appeal beyond these boundaries with its gothic, power, symphonic, progressive and doom overtones. Formed in 2003, they have evolved and progressed over the last two decades into today’s dynamic powerhouse. The driving force of The HERO’s music – moody melodic baritone vocals, heavy guitars, thundering bass and imposing drums that create strong, catchy melodies that echo long after the audience has gone home. The results are solid and quite unique, at times sounding regal and at others forlorn. All the instruments play prominent roles instead of just offering a wall of sound, balancing hooks and groove with the dramatic as each song twists and turns. Woven through this are the brooding, smooth and sombre vocals that are suited perfectly to the music.![]()

The HERO toured the USA in the summer of 2017 (including a show at the famous Whiskey A Go Go in Hollywood!) and, as the title would suggest, released “MMXX” in August 2020. However, due to the challenges of Covid, it only received a digital release… until now! Mighty monster hunters The HERO are ready to strike – heavy music and faith are their weapons – prepare to rock like it’s MMXX!
