Hamburg’s metalcore powerhouse half me have released their highly anticipated sophomore album DOGMA, out today via Arising Empire. Delivering their most ambitious, aggressive and thought-provoking material to date, the band push their unmistakable sound to new extremes, combining crushing metallic hardcore, industrial influences, relentless grooves and raw emotional intensity into a devastating statement about the world we live in.

At its core, DOGMA is a reflection on a society willingly participating in its own collapse. The album explores how fear, manipulation and manufactured division have become powerful instruments of control, shaping a world in which people are increasingly distracted from questioning the systems surrounding them. As truth and lies become indistinguishable, humanity finds itself trapped in a cycle of ignorance, obedience and self-destruction.
