Hiraes is a German melodic death metal band from Osnabrück, formed in 2020 when the four instrumentalists of the disbanded Dawn of Disease joined forces with vocalist Britta Görtz (ex-Critical Mess, ex-Cripper). The band signed to Napalm Records and released their debut album Solitary in 2021, followed by the sophomore record Dormant in January 2024, which reached number 36 on the German album charts. Musically they draw comparisons to Arch Enemy, The Halo Effect and Dark Tranquillity, blending melodic melancholy with aggressive riffing and Görtz's distinctive growls.
Hiraes announced the Nightflight Tour 2026, a headline run across Germany, Austria, Belgium, the UK, Czech Republic and Switzerland, with Nopreachers as support.
Britta Görtz appeared as a guest vocalist on the Kreator single 'Tränenpalast'.
Hiraes performed at Summer Breeze Open Air 2025 and Rock Hard Festival 2025, continuing their busy festival schedule.
Hiraes played as support for Dark Tranquillity and Moonspell in Hamburg in May 2025, part of their second extended European tour together.
The second album Dormant was released on 26 January 2024 via Napalm Records and reached number 36 on the German album charts.
