The keen reader will remember THE HYBRIS, an international rock outfit with meaningful and socially relevant lyricism at its core. Covering their recent release ‘What If’, we proudly declared: “a truly international band, if there’s ever been one, they champion a gentle brand of alt-rock, favouring catchy, clear melodies over raw guitars. Nonetheless, you can perceive undeniable energy in their music, perhaps the remnants of a past spent as rockers in various formations.”
We stand by our words. Latest effort ‘Keep The Wolves Away’ manages to build up tension and grittiness, delivering solemn, anthemic vibes. The song seeks to reflect on war and its toll on the planet, drawing a comparison with the contemporary conflicts in Eastern Ukraine. Genre-wise, the record is drenched in punk-rock, showcasing once again the instrumental prowess possessed by Ringo Rabbit, Beanie Bison and Malcolm Mandrill, the fictional wannabe superheroes identifying as the humans behind the project.
Why should you listen to THE HYBRIS? Well, in a world of superficial lyricism and trend-grabbing art, the three rockers walk their own path towards honest artistry and timeless songwriting. Moreover, by removing their ‘human’ figures, the group can fully focus on their songs, without external distractions. That’s a rare gift nowadays.
