track 02
why won’t you love me?
mir·ror noun
The one face you can’t bring yourself to look at. The one you most need to love you back.

emotional post-metalcore · between hamburg, bremen & hannover · impericon band contest winner 2025
We’re Hard Times Don’t Last, an emotional post-metalcore band from somewhere between Hamburg, Bremen and Hannover.
We want our songs to be heavy, hopeful and honest. Since 2024 we’ve released a handful of singles and two EPs. In 2025 we won the Impericon Band Contest, which got us the opening slot at Impericon Festival. Right now we’re working on our first album.
