Hybrid Nightmares

 

Australian progressive extreme metal quintet, Hybrid Nightmares will independently release their long awaited debut album Almagest worldwide on October 6.

Almagest is the follow up to the bands 2015 release, The Ages, the critically acclaimed four cd concept album of totally epic proportions.

In true Hybrid Nightmares style, Almagest is also a concept album. Drawing on elements of science fiction, history and the band members’ own vivid imaginations.
The album follows the cosmic journey of the Pilgrim as he ascends through the nine spheres to meet the Prime Mover.

The visually striking music video for the first single from Almagest, Ultor has been released

Drawing on the bands experience as song writers and story tellers, the mythology created is matched by world class musicianship.
The band comment; ‘this is everything our fans have come to expect from Hybrid Nightmares, big riffs, catchy leads, huge contrasts in light and shade and we’ve added more acoustic guitars and intricate layers than ever before.
There’s even clean vocals for the first time! We’ve pushed ourselves to the absolute limit and really taken things to the next level. We are unbelievably proud of this record’

Taking inspiration and drawing comparisons to artists such as Enslaved, Immortal, Ne Obliviscaris and Satyricon, the band mix black, death and progressive metal into one genre transcending melting pot.
Well known for their energetic and entertaining live shows, combining UV lights with a powerful stage presence, Hybrid Nightmares meld extreme sonics with stunning visuals to create a mesmerising experience.

The band have played along side world class acts such as Fleshgod Apocalypse, Psycroptic, Enslaved, Abbath and Ne Obliviscaris and their 2015 tour of Japan saw them sell out of CD’s midway through their dates!

Hybrid Nightmares will be taking Almagest on the road throughout October, playing in every state, with the official album launch taking place on October 21 at the Evelyn Hotel in Melbourne
From there, the band are planning several international tours to Europe and the US.

Almagest was produced by (who) and mixed by Troy McCosker (Ne Obliviscaris, Whoretopsy) with mastering from Thomas ‘Plec’ Johansson (Scar Symmetry, Soilwork)

Almagest will be released on October 6
Pre orders will be available soon.
