Mosh your way to the forest of thrash where the Coven awaits for you to join “The Serpent’s Cycle”, the latest music video for the title track from Vancouver’, BC’s Hyperia forthcoming third full-length out on November 17th.
“This is the first song that was fully written for the album. It is a heavy and unrelenting track that encompasses everything Hyperia is about – intricate guitar work, heavy-hitting bass, fast drums, and wailing powerful vocals, a perfect title track to show what the album is all about.” adds the band.

Hyperia’s new thrash attack “The Serpentâs Cycle” marks a new era for Hyperia. This album has some of the most aggressive thrash metal the band has ever written paired with lots of melodic vocal and guitar work along with a new invigorating lineup that welcomes Ryan Idris on drums and Jon Power on bass to join husband and wife Colin and Marlee Ryley. It consists of everything Hyperia stands for shred, speed, and intricacy.
Hyperia wants fans to have their faces blown off by 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.
When it comes to live performances, Hyperia takes pride in making them memorable and thinks the visual aspect is equally if not more important than the music. Especially with thrash metal, they want to create a party atmosphere – when all of them are having a genuinely fun time on stage they think it encourages the audience to go hard too. This energy is conveyed through âThe Serpentâs Cycleâ, which is recommended for fans of Havok, Municipal Waste, 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
