Biography

SpiRitual is the brand-new ethno metal project of Stefan Hertrich, sound track composer for PC games and vocalist/songwriter of various metal productions for more than 10 years. Supported by international guest musicians, the 29 year old artist hits the road again to explore distant cultures and alternative ways of thinking, as he did in 1999 (Betray My Secrets) and 2004 (Shiva in Exile, awarded with the American Just Plain Folks Music Award in the category “best new age/world album 2004”). Combining distant melancholic esthetics with hard metal elements, the first release entitled “Pulse” offers 8 epic ethno metal tracks (total running time: 45 minutes). Brute metal vocals and mercilessly low-tuned guitars are mixed with warm ethnic instruments and female vocals, creating a dynamic and energetic listening experience.

In his role as a writer, Hertrich as usual sees the world critically, but instead of observing the outer grievances under social and political viewpoints, he dips directly into the listener to show him his worst enemy on his way to growth and self-realization: doubts and fears. The lyrics of “Pulse” don’t focus on hopelessness but motivate the listener/reader to recognize and establish positive character attributes slumbering in every human soul: courage, inner strength, sensibility, respect.

In cooperation with the German author and scientist Dr. phil.

    I would be happy, if someone explained me how Yana Veva, a vocalist from Russian band "Theodor Bastard", ended up singing for Spiritual?

    I read somewhere that "ethno metal" is a way that use Stefan Hertrich to define the genre of SpiRitual. It's not an official genre, it's just a tag.
