Hybrid is an extreme metal band formed in 2004 by musicians from other Madrid acts.
Biography
Hybrid was born in march 2004 when Chus Maestro (One Last Word and formerly in Another Kind Of Death) recruited Miguel (Human Mincer) and J. Oliver (Wormed, Unsane Crisis) to set up an extreme music project that would break down the walls of mainstream music. With Kike and Unai García they began to write the songs they later recorded in June 2005 as the band’s debut album: Beyond Undeniable Entropy, a 6 song MCD of avant-garde, eclectic and math metal, which was released the following year by Deadwrong Records and received great reviews.[1]
The band has played live with Tool and Deftones at the Festimad Sur'06, as well as with Cephalic Carnage, Moho, Machetazo, Adrift, Looking For An Answer and Nashgul.[2]
In the beginning of 2007 Unai García was replaced by Albano as the band’s new vocalist and Hybrid entered Sadman Studio to record their first full-length album: The 8th Plague, mastered by Alan Douches (Mastodon, The Dillinger Escape Plan). The 8th Plague was released by english label Eyesofsound in August 2008.[3]
Musical style
Hybrid’s music starts from an extreme technical and twisted metal in which they merge a big bunch of influences and nuances from diverse styles such as Brutal death, Mathcore, Grindcore, Black metal, Doom, Crust and also Free jazz and Latin music.[4]They normally use odd time signatures, dissonances, polyrhythms, stacatto riffing, blast beats, cuts, changes and contrasts that increase the unpredictableness of their music. Their composing method is based on the improvisation and the creative freedom.[5] The band is also known for using different vocal ranges.
Lyrical content
Hybrid lyrics cover philosophical, sociological and spiritual themes from an apocalyptic, misanthropic and nihilistic point of view. The lyrics are written using metaphors and including references to The Bible, mythology, religion, mysticism, occultism, and psycology.[6]
