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 fours albums and a live DVD that showcases their intense concert energy (if ya never seen them in person). Continuing their venture in 2015 with their very technical playing that’s fast, aggressive and catchy, HIBRIA returns with their fifth and latest self titled studio album set for release on August 7th via Test Your Metal Record in North America (July 22nd in Japan on King Music) to follow 2013’s ‘Silent Revenge’ released under King Records for Asia, AFM for Europe and North America plus Voice Music for Brazil.

 

“We self titled this release because we believe that it represents what our music is and how we feel about our band. This is our second CD composed with the same lineup and it made all the difference in our songwriting. We already knew what to expect from each other and it contributed a lot for us to write this new work.” says “It is our most daring album. We experienced new influences and they made this album to sound so fresh. We really feel we have started heading to a new level as a band.”

 

All four of their past albums and live DVD released have reached the #1 position on sales charts for HMV stores across Japan and has lead the band to be support for such bands as Metallica, Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, Megadeth plus perform at Rock in Rio and Loud Park, Japan’s most important Metal festival, where they shared the main stage with some of the world’s most known bands.

About Test Your Metal Records:

Mission

Test Your Metal Records stands to leave a positive impact and everlasting dynasty within the Canadian Rock and Metal music scene. First and foremost TYM was founded to ensure the continued creation of music, art and culture! To employ as many people doing what they love, and to ultimately assist the worldwide music scene thrive in any way. TYM Records helps get the art, product and live show into the hands and ears of the fans.

Vision

To build a corporation and family that will help people reach their true potential and fuel their passion. Starting off with a talented roster of bands, promoting and constantly innovating new music for the record label. Manufacturing and promoting their new albums and sending them out on tour across the globe. My vision is to revolutionize the music industry by giving the music to the fans for a monthly membership fee. Having a multitude of perks set up through the Loyalty membership, and a multitude of external companies providing incentives and cross promotion. I aspire to make a service that people from all walks of life can enjoy and benefit from. 20% of net profit of the label will be deposited into a fund for the ‘TYM Academy of the Arts’. Which will be a Non-Profit music and arts academy I hope to open within the next 3-5 years.

Values

Like any good long lasting relationship, the things I value in business are also the things I value in life. Passion, Love, Honesty, Compassion, Teamwork and most of all FUN, FREEDOM and INTERDEPENDENCE. I started TYM Records because I want to help bands push to the next level while keeping control within their hands and to help them make a living from it!!! To always have fun and work as a family to build a career together. On top of the normal royalties baid to the artists and with the implementation of the Loyalty club I plan on paying out 24% of all net profits from the loyalty club to the bands on the roster on the last day of each month. So theoretically we will be able to watch the label grow to the point where every band on the label can solely focus on their craft and not have to worry about the bills! I aspire to be a leading example of Honesty, Fairness, Dedication and Transparency within this company. I have made it my new mission in life to help as many people as possible and I believe through TYM Records we can achieve that!

     Coming off their cross Canada ‘No Parents, No Rules’ tour this past June and July with Edmonton’s Slumlord, Calgary hardcore noisemakers FALL CITY FALL has teamed with Idobi Radio for the exclusive online premiere of their latest track ‘Love And Art’, which will be one of many set to be released on their follow up to 2013’s ‘Victus’.

Listen to ‘Love And Art’ at the following link: http://idobi.com/idobiradio/rock-the-walls/2015/07/exclusive-fall-city-fall-song-premiere-love-and-art/ 

About:

Providing the remedy for today’s monotonous hardcore scene, FALL CITY FALL will not be ignored. The ultra-dynamic five piece band’s unforgiving, commanding sound is unleashed unto the world. With conviction in their hearts and balled up fists, they’ve dedicated their purpose to changing the music scene forever.

Like most bands, FALL CITY FALL began humbly in 2008 as a small project between three best friends in their hometown of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. With duel-vocalists, Nathan Zorn and Keenan Pylychaty leading the pack, guitarist Jordon Storey, drummer Nathan Pope and bassist Andre Urquidi, have mastered their crafts, complimenting the vocals with technical riffs and hard-hitting melodies. Picking up steam, they began to collect a very loyal fan base as they continued to play local shows for friends and family. Broadcasting their hardworking attitudes, they quickly became known for their wildly energetic performances and continued to book shows all over Canada. Taking a very large step away from the typical bands of today, FALL CITY FALL stands for unison in the music scene; playing music from the heart and expanding musical horizons.

Releasing their first EP, 1629, in 2010, FALL CITY FALL had finally created the finely-tuned, perfected sound they had been searching for.  Revealing their unique blend of low growls, mid-screams, and clean vocals, they had successfully married progressive, hardcore and alternative to form a subgenre of metal that leaves crowds speechless in the best way. Hungry for more, they delivered the Dead Saints EP, solidifying their spot as one of the most prolific hardcore bands to hail from Calgary.  Drawing in hundreds on their own, they have performed alongside bands such as THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, SILVERSTEIN, ARCHITECTS and label-mates COUNTERPARTS, showcasing their unrivaled energy to thousands across North America.

Preparing for world domination, FALL CITY FALL released their first full length release from Victory Records. Described as their most “intimate” and “intense” project yet, the alternative world greeted Victus with an overwhelming response, upon its release on January, 22nd 2013. Applauded for their honesty and the raw intensity of the vocals, Victus set FALL CITY FALL apart from their hardcore contenders, proving that with passion and conviction, anything is possible. In an industry full of musicians willing to compromise, FALL CITY FALL stands strong, dedicated to pushing boundaries and crossing lines.

Missing an opportunity to witness their musical battle ensue live will surely be a decision you’ll soon come to regret. With no end in sight, FALL CITY FALL has come to turn the hardcore scene upside down.

Track Listing: Fall City Fall – Victus

1) St. James

2) Dissentipede

3) Anxiety Attack

4) Bitter to the end

5) Love Birds

6) Many Master

7) Many Lives

“It’s about time Victory signs a good band.” – Alternative Press

“Good times.” – Blabbermouth

“…I will however tell you just how fucking awesome Fall City Fall’s Victory Records debut Victus is…… undeniably a contender for one of the best hardcore albums of 2013. If you’re a fan of The Chariot, This Is Hell or Every Time I Die you will definitely find some value in Victus.” – Kill Hipsters
