Hibria

I don't wanna have this feeling any more, Not accomplish what I fought for, Now it's my turn to change it all...

Hibria are a power metal band from Brazil who put a lot of emphasis into speed and technicality, but these dudes are no Dragonforce. They blow Dragonforce clear out of the water. They've only released one full-length album so far, Defying The Rules, and is a masterpiece. I might even go as far as to say that it ranks alongside Judas Priest's Painkiller. It's just that good.

The album is set in a dystopian future and tells the story of a band of rebels lead by the Steel Lord who fight against the oppressive Faceless In Charge. From the albums awesome opening, Steel Lord On Wheels, you'll be hooked on the killer riffs, insane drum work and Iuri Sanson's incredible vocals.

Seriously listen to this album. The speed and technicality should grab any fan of Thrash or Speed Metal, the soaring vocals and melodies would intrigue even the most sceptical of Power Metal fans and Progressive Metal listeners will love the Rush-like proggy bits.
