The HERO from Stockholm, SWEDEN delivers dark, heavy, and melancholic Metal which seems to appeal to more than“metal heads”. The recipe for The Hero’s music is: Heavy guitars, thundering bass, bombastic drums, and melodic baritone vocals, and at the core always strong melodies that echoe long after the audience has gone home.
