“HERO” means Heavy, melancholic and beautiful songs that appeal to more than just “Metal Heads”.
The recipe for HERO is: heavy groovy guitars, thundering bass, bombastic drums, melodic baritone vocals but most important of all, strong melodies for the eternity.”
-It’s heavy and brooding, but has melodies that just find a way to crawl under your skin and get their hooks in deep.

“HERO” is not the hardest band out there, nor the fastest, but definitely an “ORIGINAL” band and you cannot really compare HERO with something else, HERO has an “original- touched” sound. Yes! It’s heavy, yes! It’s beautiful, yes! It’s catchy. Yes! It’s gothic, yes! It’s dark, yes it’s immortal, YES! IT’S HERO.
They aren’t trying to be the fastest or the heaviest, but an artist that pulls you in and won’t let you go. Your first listen might prove unfruitful, but keep listening and soon you’ll be rewarded. Sometimes the artists that demand you listen more than once are the ones that last the longest.

“HERO” is: Michael Hero-Guitar and Lead vocals, Daniel Mouton-Drums, Patrick Hero-Bass & Emanuel Wärja-Guitar and background vocals.
Michael Hero proves he does indeed know how to write a very catchy melody. It’s also his baritone lead vocal that adds to the atmosphere of Hero. Michael and Bjorn Sundström show they’ve got the chops with crunching guitar tone and some very melodic playing. They’re complemented by a very strong and talented rhythm section in: Daniel Mouton on drums and Henrik Deleskog on bass. Olov Andersson and Johan Adler adds on “Backtrack” a melancholy keyboard that is the finishing touch on a very cool sound.

“HERO” is a highly energetic experience on stage and live. Prepare to cry, prepare to laugh and prepare to rock! HERO will hold you in a grip from which you cannot escape. You’ll be humming the tunes when you go to sleep.
‘Blood Red Roses’, ‘Immortal’, ‘Gasoline’ and ‘Funeral of Death’ have such a moody melodic feel they’re infectious. Definitely heavy, definitely catchy and you’ll be humming those chorus’ before the end. Listen to ‘R.I.P.’ and I can see the windmills moving to the haunting powerful rhythms and surging chorus.
