Canadaâs thrash maniacs Hyperia have been shredding across stages since their conception in 2018 and have released three albums to wild global reception. Their latest work âThe Serpentâs Cycleâ is coming out this November and will be a continuation of the aggressive riffs, melodic vocals, and all-around party nature that the band has come to be known for. The next single âAutomatic Thrash Machineâ embodies that energy and draws listeners in with its endorphin rush of thrash technicality. The band describes the single:
âA tongue-in-cheek nod to our favourite party thrash songs, this track is our homage to partying and having a good time with your friends. Itâs accompanied by a full-out kegger of a music video that shows the fun side of Hyperia. Itâs one of the more straightforward thrash songs on the album but still has lots of intricate parts from all members.â

When it comes to writing, typically the music is written before the lyrics so it isnât affected too much by vocals, however, there are times when they will restructure a riff to fit under the syllables of a word or to help with the annunciation and delivery of a lyric.
Hyperia wants fans to have their faces blown off by the aggression, speed, and intricacies of âThe Serpentâs Cycleâ. The ten-track album (plus a cover of Heart’s ‘Crazy On You’) will be appreciated by musicians and non-musicians alike. The songs vary enough to keep the pacing fresh throughout and thereâs something for everyone on it. âThe Serpentâs Cycleâ is recommended for fans of Havok, Lost Society, and Children Of Bodom.
âThe Serpentâs Cycleâ is due out on November 17, 2023, and is available for pre-order at https://hyperiametal.bandcamp.com.

âIf you prefer your metal loud, dark and just a touch campy (and who doesnât?), then Calgary-turned-Vancouver rockers Hyperia are planning to deliver with Silhouettes of Horror, the follow-up to 2020âs equally furious and equally fun Insanitorium. First single âOperation Midnightâ is an unrelenting barrage of riffage held down by Marlee Ryleyâs throat-blistering vocals.â â Exclaim! â One of Exclaim!âs most anticipated albums of 2022
âWith their second album Silhouettes Of Horror, Canadian thrashers Hyperia doubled down on the most ferocious elements of their sound to achieve a sound that owed more than a passing nod to Tetonic thrashers Kreator or Destruction. The fact vocalist Marlee Ryley can deliver blackened snarls with as much gusto as trad-metal histrionics helped them stand out from the crowd, firmly establishing Hyperia as promising up-and-comers in the wide world of thrash. RHâ â Metal Hammer â The top 10 best thrash metal albums of 2022
âRecent Calgary-to-Vancouver transplants Hyperia are all about thrashing in a style inherent to â80s basketball shoes, shredded denim, battle jackets and those studded gauntlets that may look cool, but are likely more responsible for forearm rashes than being a gateway to one-night stands. Imagine classic Megadeth, âToxic Waltzâ-era Exodus, Annihilator and Anthrax alongside Exmortus, Havok, Warbringer, Violator, Crisix and others with a new-school take on an old-school sound.â â Decibel Mag
âEnergetic, melodic, fast, psychotic, and dynamic are just some of the elements that make Silhouettes of Horror an album that old and new fans of thrash, NWoBHM, and power metal will appreciate. The band even included a cover homage of Abbaâs Gimme Gimme Gimme.â â Sentinel Daily
âAll in all, Silhouettes of Horror gave me what I want for from a modern melodic thrash album. Itâs fun, it doesnât take itself too seriously, and itâs got cool stories to tell.â â Angry Metal Guy
