Hydra
(Germany)
Hydra
a band as multi-faceted as its many headed namesake is a symphonic metal band
from Regensburg, Germany.
After
releasing the debut CD ‘Malachite Skies‘ the Band is eager to release the
follow-up, entitled ‘Solar Empire’. The full-length album will be released on
December 30 in 2016. When listening to ‘Solar Empire’ you can clearly hear the
progress the band has made over the last three years. The new songs are more
symphonic, heavier and show more versatility.
Besides
quite varying vocals from Lisa known guest singers can be heard as well on the
new records. On ‘Solar Empire´ ZUBEROA AZNAREZ(Diabulus in Musica) and HENNING
BASSE (Firewind, Mayan), as well as JULE DAHS, a rock singer from Cologne in
Germany, are featured. Moreover, HYDRA is accompanied by a big classical choir
on this release.
The
LAURENTIUS SINGERS agreed to do choir passages for the whole record and the
classical choir is definitely an element which is distinctive for the band´s
current sound.
‘Solar
Empire’ is the band´s first concept album. The 11 songs tell the tragic story
about a loving couple ‘Solar Empire – Scent of the Wolves´.
