Australia has never has any doubt when it comes to the sheer quality of its metal scene taken for all that it is, but too often does it not get the credit it deserves as often as more well-known bastions … Continue reading Hybrid Nightmares – Woeful Inertia
Before 2019 even got going, I was already excited for it because I could see the gathering storm of releases that were heading my way. There were so fucking much from bands I love that are coming out that I … Continue reading Hybrid Nightmares – Obelisk
Australia has always been an incredibly bountiful country when it comes to metal, especially in recent years as we’ve gotten bands from all over the fucking spectrum. A Breach of Silence, Be’lakor, Norse, and dozens more have graced Australia with … Continue reading Hybrid Nightmares – Almagest
This is the end of all things. All the light in the universe is gone and all that remains is darkness. The end of man is upon us. This is the final and by far the most grand of all … Continue reading Hybrid Nightmares – The Fourth Age
While I can’t say that this is my favorite album that Hybrid Nightmares have put out, I can say that they have not lost a lick of badassery. Their new album, “The Third Age”, is the third part of the four part and so far acclaimed Ages series that this band have been creating so far this year, and I can vouch for the band in saying that this album is fucking awesome and a more than worthy addition to this series. “The Third Age” is without a doubt Hybrid Nightmares’ most brutal album to date and breaks new ground … Continue reading Hybrid Nightmares – The Third Age
Coming back with the third installment of their 4 part album “Ages” series, Melbourne based Hybrid Nightmares have come back to us with the first track off of “The Third Age” which is due by either late this July or early August, either way doesn’t matter as I will wait as long as I have to for this album. I still love listening to the previous two albums, “The First Age” and “The Second Age”, every single day because they have an amazingly good quality sound of black metal mixed with progressive metal to make a crushing feel and intense … Continue reading Hybrid Nightmares – Ash and Bone (single)
What a great half year it’s been! It is now current July 2nd in the States and that means the first half of 2015 is done and gone. It’s as good as any time to recap and go over my favorite albums of the year out of all the great records that I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing. Below is the list as you may have already noticed unless you’re blind. There are 20 albums in total if you want to know, and I am putting them in no particular order when it comes to how much I like them, … Continue reading My Favorites of 2015 (so far)
As the second entry into an epic saga of the downfall of man, Hybrid Nightmares’ “The Second Age” does not lose any of the magnificence that was all over their previous album “The First Age”. In fact, the overall quality of the sound, structure, and melody of “The Second Age” has improved by a great deal with the addition of calmer, instrumental tracks in this album instead of the constant black metal vocals, guitars, and drums that while done amazingly well can get a little unimaginative at times. The best example of this that is shown in this album is … Continue reading Hybrid Nightmares – The Second Age
This album is definitely something else for black metal in terms of meaning and story telling since Carach Angren’s arrival on the scene. Hybrid Nightmare’s second EP, “The First Age” is the first of a four-album saga that tells the tale of man’s rise and eventual downfall at their own hands. This makes for an epic tale that has an amazing beginning and at this rate will have a pgenomenal finale whenever the fourth and final entry comes out. The harsh vocals off of “The First Age” are impressively done and have a real black metal feel to them that … Continue reading Hybrid Nightmares – The First Age
