Guitarist Abel Camargo comments:

“I had already seen Guga playing many times on the city’s stages (Porto Alegre, Brazil), and there was something that always called my attention, and made me confident to choose him: The stage is really his home. Playing with friends, jamming with Paul Gilbert, playing classic songs, improvising on his videos, or even opening a concert for Dream Theater playing his own instrumental songs, he has always mastered what he wanted from his guitar and showed gratitude for that moment. Besides being a versatile and shredding guitarist, he is also a born composer.”

HIBRIA released their 2016 album “XX” and 2015 self-titled album on Test Your Metal Records.

Album order available on CD here and digital here.

“top notch melodic speed metal played with passion and precision, this is an infectious and addictive album that will have you instantly head banging.” – Metal Gods TV

“Hibria is a headbanger’s dream. Fans of power and thrash metal will find the grooves and style of this band familiar and awesome. Pummeling drum work, fantastic guitar solos and a perfect vocal style are just some of the things that sum up just how good Hibria can be.” – Broken Neck Radio

“The album blasts off with “Pain” a wonderful fusion of Hibria’s signature speed and riffs with the style of Swing music. It was during this track that I realized that this album would be a reflection of where Hibria has come from, but also where they were going from here.” – Radio Laurier

“A fantastic and strong release” – Metal Temple
