Hiraeth

Formed in 2015 in Iași, Romania, HIRAETH is a band which explores raw emotion and personal turmoil. The name itself evokes a deep, melancholic longing — an untranslatable word from Welsh that speaks to a profound, homesick yearning for something lost.

At the heart of Hiraeth’s sound is an unrelenting exploration of inner struggle. The music serves as an outlet for intense feelings, which are given form through heavy-hitting breakdowns. With years of live shows and an ever-growing fan base, Hiraeth has become more than just a band — they are a relentless force that is driven by self-expression of emotions that are difficult to put into words – so they are put into music instead.
For fans of emotionally charged, heavy music that explores the complexities of the soul, Hiraeth is a band that offers both a mirror and a sanctuary. The battle within is not just theirs; it’s everyone’s.
