Hubris is a Swiss post-rock band originating from Fribourg. Formed in 2014, the instrumental quartet is characterised by their original style which blends an experimental touch of post-rock, electronica atmosphere and some elements of the metal scene. They draw their inspiration from bands like Jakob, This Will Destroy You, Tides of Man or Jon Hopkins, among others. With their style evoking introspection, Hubris characterise themselves with the length of their compositions, allowing a range of evolving emotions through softness and power. Sometimes compared with other artists like Sigur Rós or Long Distance Calling, the band calls forth emotions of its audience due to a heterogeneous musical landscape mixing poetic ambiance and raw energy.
On the 2nd of May 2015, hubris. released their first opus Emersion along-side the New Zealander post-rock band Jakob. The album was well-received by various medias outlets, obtaining several positive reviews from webzines and magazines as well as getting air on multiple radio stations. In April 2017, Hubris came out with a second album called Apocryphal Gravity. This album sports a brand new set of colours. Their musical approach took a new turn with a drastic change in their method of composing and incorporating more electronic influences. The band has released their next album Metempsychosis on March 13, 2020 through the Australian label Art as Catharsis.
