HYSTE'RIAH's 1987 Demo Available For Download
July 17, 2007, 17 years ago
Metal demo blog Bang! Bang! has been updated with the following:
"Let’s talk about the run-up to Swedish death metal, when Sweden suddenly filled with energetic, evil-obsessed thrash acts that went largely unnoticed outside Scandinavia. One my favorites is HYSTE'RIAH from Landskrona, who were fluid, supple thrash masters with the weirdest vocals this side of early BATHORY. I think the closest description I can muster is the guy sings like the ghost of NUCLEAR ASSAULT’s John Connelly, banging against the barn windows while the band inside makes hay.Guitar-wise, Hyste’riah is completely in the pocket, as the old jazz guys used to say. They plumb mid-paced thrash grooves to hypnotic effect, and it’s fun to play a game called “death metal dress-up” where you mentally start adding sicker vocals and thick Sunlight production until you make the connection to ENTOMBED’s famous sound. Small surprise that Hyste’riah’s guitarist Cliff T, aka Klas Ideberg, is still a force in Swedish metal, generating gruff grooves to this day in DARKANE, THE DEFACED, and TERROR 2000."
