HERMIDGETS Unveils Second Album “NIHIL” – A Dive into the Abyss of Nihilism

After his debut album “The Mire” in 2020, HERMIDGETS (about) returns with his anticipated sophomore release, “NIHIL.” set for release on June 9th. Derived from the Latin word for ‘nothing,’ “NIHIL” is a seven-track journey into the depths of existential emptiness and dissonance, set against a backdrop of distorted synth-pop melodies.

Building upon melancholic melodies and distorted synthesizers that defined his previous work, HERMIDGETS delves deeper into the abyss of nihilism with this latest offering. Each track serves as a haunting reflection of the artist’s fascination with the existential void, weaving intricate sonic tapestries that captivate and unsettle in equal measure.

I composed this album using just two analog synthesizers, a selected drum sample library, and my voice. This self-imposed limitation inspired creativity despite the boundless possibilities of electronic music. My goal was to craft deeply melancholic, singable melodies, supported by constantly present synths with carefully crafted tones, sometimes distorted and other times enveloping

Accompanying the musical odyssey of “NIHIL” are four equally mesmerizing and unsettling video artworks, meticulously crafted by HERMIDGETS. In this project, the visual aspect is as fundamental as the auditory, serving to enhance and reinforce the sonic experience, beckoning listeners to fully immerse themselves in the artist’s dystopian vision.

With “NIHIL,” HERMIDGETS cements his status as a master of atmospheric soundscapes and a visionary of the synth-pop genre. Prepare to be transported to a realm where darkness and beauty converge in haunting harmony.
