Canadian thrashers HYPERIA, formerly of
Calgary, AB, now residing in Vancouver, BC will be self-releasing their new
album “Silhouettes of
Horror” this coming March 2022. The full-length follows their 2020’s
“Insanitorium” unleashed via Sliptrick Records and their 2019 EP “Fish Creek
Frenzy”.
The mosh quartet has already
shared two songs "Experiment
77" and "Operation Midnight" off the upcoming
record, and today they are ready to get the pit moving once again with their
third single "Prisoner of The Mind", a song about how we are all
slaves to our thoughts and conditioning.
"This song opens with a neo-classical style lead that
unleashes into a fast double kick run before transitioning into a thrashy and in-your-face
verse. The chorus on this song is arguably the catchiest on the album, with a
power-meta-lesque sing-a-long feel to it. Another song that showcases the
dynamics of Hyperia between melodic harmonies and balls to the wall thrash." adds guitarist Colin Ryley.

Hyperia's
forthcoming second album “Silhouettes
of Horror” sees guitarist Colin Ryley behind the soundboard
producing and mixing the record with mastering done by Mika Jussila at Finnvox Studios in Helsinki,
Finland (Children of Bodom, Nightwish, Battle Beast). Album artwork was created
by Andrei Bouzikov (Vektor, Municipal Waste, Skeletonwitch, Toxic Holocaust).
“We think that we have polished our sound and pushed ourselves
to create what we believe is a newly refined vision. This record has pushed the
whole band to their limits, and the songwriting, performance, and production
value is a huge step up. We feel the fans will enjoy this new album even more
than our first full-length,” adds Collin Ryley.
Energetic, melodic, fast,
psychotic, and dynamic are the elements that make “Silhouettes of Horror”
that old and new fans of thrash, NWOBHM, and power metal will appreciate. The
band even included a cover hommage of Abba’s “Gimme Gimme Gimme”. For the
recording of “Silhouettes
of Horror”, Hyperia
also recruited good friend and session drummer Gord Alexander (Tessitura, Tides
of Kharon, Immunize).
Most of the lyrical themes on
“Silhouettes of Horror” revolve
around inhumane government experiments, sleep disorders, and night terrors.
“Silhouettes of Horror” is due out on March 18, 2022 and is recommended for fans
of Exmortus, Arch Enemy, Unleash the Archers, Havok.
