Swiss Instrumental Rockers Hubris . Release New Album "White Shores"!

Swiss Instrumental Rockers HUBRIS. Release New Album White Shores in September.

Set for release on September 10th, 2026, White Shores is the fifth studio album by Swiss post-rock band hubris. The instrumental quartet is characterised by their original style which blends an experimental touch of post-rock, electronica atmosphere and some elements of the metal scene.

From new album White Shores the band has released two single, Is (music video here), and Death.

Following four albums rooted in Greek mythology, composer and founder Jonathan Hohl turns to his other favourite source of inspiration: The Lord of the Rings, but more specifically J.R.R. Tolkien’s exploration of mortality and immortality.

In Tolkien’s legendarium, elves in spite of their immortality (a trait often coveted by humans) refer to death as the “Gift of Men". This paradox offers a striking alternative to the Western perception of death as purely tragic. A “gift” implies something desirable, even fortunate.

In the wake of his grandfather’s passing, this perspective became the emotional and conceptual foundation of White Shores.

The album unfolds across five movements, each representing a word in a single sentence: Death. Is. Just. Another. Path.
