The heavy sound on ‘Alternate Realities’ is balanced by H.E.R.O.'s catchy melodies, the grand production and a personal theme based on singer, guitarist and songwriter Christoffer Stjerne’s own experiences. The lyrics on the new album, among those ‘Lead The Blind’, revolves around a trauma and breach in Christoffer’s family relations - he elaborates:

“I come from a religious family, and as I broke away from the religious environment, a series of confrontations with basically my whole family started. The record is in no way about religion, but about the trauma and letdows, I experienced, when I had to cut off all contact with my family. ‘Lead The Blind’ is about seeing one self in a new light, trying to navigate in a new reality, in which you have never existed before. The title is - without us thinking about it initially - a bible quote, which turned out to be strikingly fitting for my situation.”

Since H.E.R.O.'s inception as a trio in 2014, they have made a name of themselves as one of Denmark’s most uncompromising bands insisting on their own brand of hard, hyper melodic and hugely sounding rock music. H.E.R.O.'s singular sound reached the world on the 2019 debut album ‘HUMANIC’, from which the single ‘Superpowers’ was no 1. in four weeks on the Japanese international chart. Here the band toured with the legendary Slash and played its first headliner shows in Japan and Denmark.

In 2020, singer/guitarist Christoffer Stjerne, guitarist Søren Itenov and drummer Anders Kirkegaard was joined by one of Denmark’s most prominent bass players Johan Wohlert, and together they released H.E.R.O.’s second album ‘Bad Blood’ to great international attention.

H.E.R.O.’s third album ‘Alternate Realities’ is produced by H.E.R.O. and Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Amaranthe a.o.) and is released March 18th 2022 through Mermaid Records.
