The Lost Art of Conceptual Evolution
It has been a mere 8 months since Showdown and To Hell With Tradition is back to announce their 6th full-length concept album in just as many years, thus continuously swimming against the current in a time when the whole music world is increasingly leaning towards creating and releasing isolated individual songs one after another.
Like not many others, To Hell With Tradition (aka Achim Hofmeyer) has a very keen sense for fusing profound philosophical and spiritual lyricism wrapped in metaphors and allegories with captivating tunes and up-tempo grooves to claim an intriguing territory right in the sweet spot between mainstream and indie.
Set to be released September 5th 2025, Retreat is the first album of an upcoming interwoven concept album trilogy (Retreat, Regroup, Reboot), that stylistically and lyrically mirrors the inevitably endless path to growth along intentional and unintentional, yet merely alleged reinventions of self.
