HYPERIA The Serpent's Cycle

Popis:

HYPERIA is a Melodic Thrash Metal band known for their wailing vocals, shredding guitars, and fast, heavy drums. The band was formed in 2018 by husband-wife duo Colin and Marlee Ryley. On their upcoming new album The Serpent’s Cycle, HYPERIA combines elements of aggressive thrash with intricate guitar melodies alongside a wide variety of vocal styles. Dealing with the deep psychology of the human ego and narcissism as well as the severe consequences of our social structures, it still manages to show lightheartedness with two tracks about the joys of booze and partying – including a glorious cover of the HEART hit Crazy On You! Fans of early Bay Area thrash and neoclassical guitar melodies will love this music. Especially Colin Ryley's guitar leads and brilliant solos show the power to carry you through a record that holds some of the fastest and most aggressive songs that HYPERIA has written to this day. The band pushed their limits, as they state: "It consists of everything Hyperia stands for – shred, speed, and intricacy."

With their first EP Fish Creek Frenzy (2020), the Canadians showed that old-school thrash can definitely be revived and renewed. Insanitorium(2020), their following debut album, convinced the listeners with technical skill. Marlee Ryley performed in an outstanding manner, her vocals reminded of shouters like Kyle Thomas of the 90’s thrash formation Exhorder. The creativity of HYPERIA didn't stop there – the band released Silhouettes of Horror as their second full-length. Constantly improving their sound and songwriting, the band created a menacing soundwall with this record. Oscillating between topics such as sleep paralysis, horror stories and mental health, aggression and madness jumped out of this music and abducted us into a world like an asylum. The four thrashheads even included an ABBA cover in a fancy metal version. Success showed quickly – the album was among the "Top 10 Best Thrash Metal Albums of the Year'' in the Metal Hammer 2022.
