The Heard The Island

The Heard release their debut album The Island on Despotz Records. The Heard was formed when Klara, Ida and Nicki wanted to keep playing music after their previous band Crucified Barbara called it quits in 2016. Together with Skinny Kangur from Deathstars and the singer and burlesque artist Pepper Potemkin they form the new band. In the deep, dark waters of the Baltic Sea there is an island. A very peculiar island. At first glance it might seem beautiful and peaceful, idyllic even, but the islands seductive powers are not all they seem. The Heard's debut album The Island revolves around the characters and places on this mysterious island. "The Island" is a concept album where the listener becomes acquainted with an island that is located somewhere between dream and reality, a place with room for both the ordinary and the supernatural. An island filled with both love and sorrow, where vitality and death live side by side. Although their roots are firmly embedded in hard rock, The Heard let their music grow wild, and beyond genres. The result is a dynamic album that is not bound by either the heavy and hard, nor the soft and sheer.
