Contents: The latest studio album from Brazilian band HIBRIA, immensely popular among Japanese melodic power metal fans. This incredibly powerful album, a trinity of melody, speed, and power?their true forte?is set to hit Japan once again. HIBRIA was formed in Porto Alegre, Brazil in 1996. After producing two demos, the band released their debut album, "Defying The Rules," with a lineup of Yuri Sanson (Vo), Abel Camago (G), Diego Casper (G), Marco Panique (Ba), and Savio Soldi (Ds). Their melodic power metal, backed by an astonishing level of technique, and their headstrong style have captured the hearts of Japanese fans. In 2008, they released their second album, "The Skull Collectors," which included their biggest hit, "Tiger Punch," that cemented the band's popularity. They have established themselves as a leading force in the next generation of Brazilian power metal. In 2009, they made their first solo visit to Japan, delivering a passionate performance in front of their fans. In 2012, they returned to Japan for Loud Park, earning high praise for their performance that was on par with veteran bands. After that, the band consistently released albums such as "Blind Ride" (2011), "Silent Revenge" (2013), "Hibria" (2015), and "Moving Ground" (2018), but during that time, there was a significant turnover of members, and ultimately, after the release of their previous album, all members except Abel left the band. However, they have overcome this negative situation by adding young and powerful new members, completing this album, which can be called a miraculous comeback. New member Victor Emeka (Vo) is a talented individual who possesses a high-pitched voice that is on par with or even surpasses Yuri's, and can effortlessly sing their past hit songs. New drummer Otavio Quiroga, despite being only 20 years old, possesses exceptionally high-level technique, which explains his selection for HIBRIA. Even with these changes in members, the band's traditional musicality and style remain unwavering, resulting in a return to their roots that will excite metal fans. One of the highlights of this album is the track "Tribal Mark," which features guest appearances from three former HIBRIA members: Yuri Sanson, Diego Kasper, and Renato Osorio. This track, featuring both old and new members, delivers a passionate performance that fans will surely love. [Track Listing] 1. War Cry 2. Shine 3. Meaning of Life 4. Fearless Will 5.
