Hiroe (pronounced Hero-way) erupted as a seismic force in American post-rock in 2020, emerging from the Philadelphia underground at the height of the pandemic. Celebrated as “the new darlings of American post-rock,” the band has quickly carved out a commanding presence, becoming one of the genre’s most compelling new voices.
Blending the ethereal and the crushing — pairing the sweeping melodicism of Radiohead and Interpol with the visceral weight of Deftones and Isis — Hiroe crafts a striking instrumental rock-metal hybrid that continues to attract a rapidly expanding and fiercely loyal fanbase.
Signed to Pelagic Records — renowned for championing genre visionaries like Mono, God Is an Astronaut, and The Ocean — the band has released two critically acclaimed records, Wrought and Wield, earning widespread accolades from heavy-music authorities including Metal Hammer, Metal Injection, and Metal Sucks.
Following landmark performances at events such as Post Fest, the band now stands at the threshold of its most ambitious year yet, fueled by new music, 2026 festival appearances, and continued touring in support of Wield.
