The Hirsch Effekt bassist Ilja John Lappin on PALINGENESIS:
“PALINGENESIS is my contribution to the SOLITAER EP, on which each band member wrote a song. It’s the memory of a path that I inevitably had to take. When life as we knew it suddenly came to a stop with the first lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic, I was forced to confront a very dark place that I had mentally arrived at. A crisis of purpose, sealed by a cycle of loneliness and depression as well as the tireless and at the same time unstable routine of the previous years, unfolded with full force in a new, unknown surrounding. During this long period of isolation, I took a desperately needed break for myself. In able to stop. In able to understand who I actually had become over the years and where I had landed in life. PALINGENESIS is a hymn to the battle itself. To your own strength, of which you’re often sure you no longer have, especially when greater, darker clouds are gathering on the horizon once again. A hymn to the fight back to your own heartbeat.”
