Blind Ride is Hibria's third album, released in 2011. Iuri Sanson’s vocals aren’t as high pitched on here, but he does let out a carefully planned scream at exactly the right moments. The guitars are dense, rumbling and sharp as barbed wire, with the bass added to the mix for an extra pinch of heaviness and the wild drums making everything sound even more adventurous. The title is apt – this album is as unpredictable and raucous as they get in the power metal genre, a veritable roller coaster of madness, mayhem and raw emotion. Let it grow on you. It cooks and festers like crazy, and it’s damn well worth it. Highly recommended!

Aggressive, energetic - and sometimes with progressive influences - Hibria deliver the perfect combination in their unique Power/Speed Metal style. In their home country (Brazil) and especially in Japan they are among the big names. They've played the biggest festivals (Rock In Rio, Loudpark) in each country, supported legendary metal acts (Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica) and even recorded a live CD while being on tour in Japan. With 'Silent Revenge' they are ready to take the next step!

Someone is knocking on Heavy Metal's door! Big time. And who is brandishing these fucking pipes? 'Tis must come from Ronnie James, but this dear friend and companion met the other side for a while now. It is Iuri Sanson of the Brazilian Power and Speed Metal band Hibria. And this on their self-titled 2015 amazingly rocky album, signed to Test Your Metal Records. And this stuff they are producing is really good metal – for most parts! Old style metal too, kind of showing the Great Old Ones of Heavy Metal, where the new masters are.

Defying the Rules is Hibria's first album, released in 2004. It tells the story of a dystopian future, ruled over by the 'Faceless in Charge' and group of rebels, such as the 'Steel Lord' battling against his forces for a free world.
