HIBRIA is a Brazilian power metal band formed in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul in 1996. The band has grown in popularity in their home country plus worldwide with the successful release of five albums and a live DVD that showcases their intense concert energy (if ya never seen them in person). Continuing their venture in 2016 with their very technical playing that’s fast, aggressive and catchy, HIBRIA returns with their sixth and latest release ‘XX’ to celebrate their 20 years in metal. The 20th anniversary album is slated for release on August 9th via Test Your Metal Record for North America to follow their 2015 self-titled album.
“HIBRIA’s soul is full of music. To celebrate our 20th anniversary we present to you ‘XX’. It’s heavy metal with no boundaries especially made for the fans. Can you feel it?”
