NEWS: HyperioN rebuild their fortress!

Adorned by hand-painted on canvas artwork by English artist Ryan T. Hancock (Seven Sisters, Blood Star, Stormborn) a dark sci-fi concept album for fans of Traditional Heavy Metal is on the horizon. “Cybergenesis” will arrive on 15th January via Fighter Records having been crafted by Italians HyperioN with “Rewire, Rebuild” the second single. As band the five piece have a refreshed line up for their third album with new vocalist Max Morelli (Signum Draconis, Ladykiller) the latest to join the ranks. That also means that guitarist Davide Cotti is the last man standing from the original line up, however he has always been the main composer and driving force behind the band.

The concept of “Cybergenesis” fits seamlessly with the fiery heavy metal therein. A daring expedition into a space-time rift ends in disaster, awakening the Choir, an ancient alien hive mind from an alternate dimension, and plunging humanity into a desperate war for survival. On an Earth enslaved by the Choir’s army of cyborgs, a former commander is reborn as the Rhizome Rider, leading a rebellion from within and sacrificing himself to free humanity. Rooted in classic sci-fi, from Star Trek to Ghost in the Shell, “Cybergenesis” tells a story of resistance and sacrifice, where the human spirit defies impossible odds.
