Half Me

Formed in Hamburg in 2018, Half Me operates within a modern metalcore sound, pierced by nu metal, hardcore and industrial accents, with a marked taste for heavily downtuned, low-end riffs, jerky rhythms and massive breakdowns. The band comprises Christopher Zühlke on vocals, Christopher Hesse on guitar, Tobias Max Sajons on bass and Maximilian Eisersdorff on drums. Half Me began to gain traction with a series of singles from 2019, then signed to Arising Empire in 2021, the year that saw the release of "Trauma Culture". Their debut album, SOMA, released in 2023, establishes a compact, tense and upfront sonic frame, where screams dominate but also give space to a more punctuated phrasing in line with the nu metal heritage. In 2024, Half Me continues with the EP OPIUM EP, while touring extensively on metal and hardcore stages across Europe, the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia and Japan. Their journey has seen them share the bill with Resolve, Cane Hill, Acres, Oceano or Thrown, in a circuit where their direct and heavy approach clearly places them in the new generation of European metalcore.
