THE SKULL COLLECTORS – THE New Album From HIBRIA

2008-11-12 16:03:51 Por: webmaster

The album has 9 songs and brings HIBRIA connected to their roots but in a more contemporary approach, resulting in a blasting raging album made to energize, from the beginning to the end, whoever listens to it.

Japan will be the first country to launch it through Spiritual Beast/Universal Music on December 10th.

Once again, the album was produced by guitar and bass players Diego Kasper and Marco Panichi.

They´ve brought the powerful vocals of Iuri Sanson to new stages and highlighted the complex rhythm riffs and arrangements developed by guitar players Abel Camargo and Diego Kasper up to the face of the listeners. Drums and Bass guitar were in charge of delivering a consistently heavy and loud rhythm section to support the strong melodies developed by the lead musicians.

HIBRIA's new CD was mixed and mastered in Germany by ACHIM KÖHLER. His previous works have made him the appointed person to deal with the different moods of the album. Achim has worked with bands from different styles such as Amon Amarth, Sodom, Pink Cream 69 and Brainstorm. He was also responsible for the mixing and Mastering of the album Devil's Ground from Primal Fear, and he has done a consistent remastering work on several Death Metal Cds, mainly from the record label Nuclear Blast.

The lyrics of the album explore the path crossed by a man who achieves his dream on becoming an air force pilot but later on, leaded by his ambition and vanity, joins a mercenary group. He then looses a partner in a trap set up by a rival group and becomes charged for that. Dominated by his wish for revenge, he falls into self-destruction meanwhile he is confined in a bunker with his past remembrances.

On December 7th, the video-clip for the song Tiger Punch will be released on the Internet.

As of February the album will be available worldwide. Exact dates still to be confirmed.

Track List:
1 - Tiger Punch
2 - Reborn from the Ashes
3 - Screaming Ghost
4 - Sea of Revenge
5 - The Anger Inside
6 – Devoted to Your Fear
7 - The Skull Collectors
8 - Burning all the Flags
9 - Wings of Wax

Excellent news metalNESS!

So, december 10th in Japan? Maybe I'll be able to hear it before the year ends, it would be a nice christmas present

Hibria's first was one of the highlights of 2004, and I hope the new one will be even better. About the title of the album, that mean they're gonna take a darker approach? That would be interesting.

This album "brings them connected with their roots"? Wtf, it's their second cd, have they even had a chance to abandon their roots already??

Sounds fucking awesome... Can't wait!

Will review it as soon as I get my hands on it, which means I'll order it from Japan.

Holy shit, I can't stop listening to this song. This album is going to slaughter everything released next year.

so it leaked, anyone had a chance to listen to it yet?

Emmerder · **Posted:** Wed Dec 17, 2008 6:17 am

I heard it, but could barely spare the attention for it since I was hastily preparing for a final. But don't let my not paying attention lower your expectations (I fell asleep on The Dark Knight [but loved it on round two]). When I was paying attention it was great, pretty similar to the first. I would say fewer "Holy shit kick ass!" moments but a more consistent spread of awesome. So I guess it was "back to their roots" in terms of returning to their original sound? I dunno. Listening again now but going to bed soon so I won't make it far.

After I get a chance to give it a better listen I'll give my impressions again. This will provide part of the soundtrack to a big term paper I have to write tomorrow.

Can't really say i found tiger punch too impressive. Sounds like the last album....but not as good.

AlexandeR · **Posted:** Thu Dec 18, 2008 1:06 am

Listening the album right now. The chorus from Tiger Punch is very similar to Silver and Gold from Primal Fear :lame:

. Very good song nevertheless.
