“With a defiant plan to save the world from arrogance, ignorance, exaggerated self-pride and egoistical ambition, THE HYRBIS use music to make a difference in this forsaken reality. Chaotic but soothing, fast and fierce but smooth, bold and powerful but with a tender vulnerability floating beneath, ‘Celebrate The Good Times’ is the anthemic roar of “yeah, that’s what’s happening but it won’t last forever” from the less privileged. As with ‘Imposter Syndrome’, THE HYBRIS uses pounding drums and dynamic guitars to create a heavy, hard-hitting punk-inspired base in ‘Celebrate The Good Times’.

“Fierce. I don’t know how else to express my impressions of this band. Ferocious like the wolves that appear in the video. Fierce like war and its aftermath which is the main theme of Keep the Wolves Away, their new single. Punk rock with a self-ironic vein but not too much. You feel that there is cohesion and craft between them, and they play as well as if they were there for you… and here is the magic: In fact, THE HYBRIS did everything remotely with a virtual studio. I understand and practice this for electronic music… but for a band like theirs, believe me they have done a miracle! Spontaneity and energy don’t lose an iota in the process. Technological evolution does not prevent them from using the historical and iconoclastic imagery of punk, with irony, dirt, comics and decisive political positions.” – System Failure, Italy

“THE HYBRIS flaunt expressive instrumentals and powerful post-rock vocals in their latest single, Impostor Syndrome.’ From the very beginning, it’s a track that grabs you by the scruff of your shirt and pulls you in. It’s heavy, it’s fast, but it retains a melody that will move you down to the core. ‘Impostor Syndrome’ ironically couldn’t feel any more like THE HYBRIS’s signature sound. They have honed it to an electric, eclectic post-rock point that is so sharp it can poke at the very soul, making it fizz with energy. More from THE HYBRIS = More great music.” – TJPL News, USA
“Ultimately, what most impressed me was THE HYBRIS’ ability to create conceptual songs that tell a musical story. Full of big hooks, catchy riffs, huge emotions, it’s one of those songs you can enjoy like a movie. These three friends and fellow musicians are clearly highly skilled when it comes to creating fiery rock anthems, you only need to listen to the raucous energy, searing riffs and crashing drums to understand that.” – Purple Melon, UK
“Impostor Syndrome comes as an appropriate continuation of their previous works, but it also carries some innovations in terms of writing, composing, and production. It sounds slightly heavier, more energetic, and complex compared to the remainder of THE HYBRIS’ discography. Still, you’ll notice this composition perfectly matches anything these highly creative musicians released in the past. It’s nearly mind-blowing how this song resonates with so many melodies, harmonies, and dynamics until the band calms down the pace and leaves vocals and guitar leads as a closure. You’ll notice how the entire band paid so much attention while constructing this catchy number. These guys proved once again why they’re one of the best new bands on an alternative scene.” – Thoughts Words Action, Serbia
“THE HYBRIS’ Keep The Wolves Away is a song that charges up your guts and emotions right from the beginning. This exceptionally hard-hitting track is noteworthy due to its musical composition and lyrical brilliance. It sends a message to the people regarding the deadly and uncontrollable threats that the wars put our nations. It preaches to us to utilize the freedom that democracy gives us by choosing a leader. The official video of the track is making us realize that our choices are incredibly flawed, and we must not let inhuman leaders rule over our families and nations. It is a song everybody should listen to. It gives us the strength to try and bring a positive change to society by utilizing our rights!” – Sinusoidal Music, India
“The keen reader will remember THE HYBRIS, an international rock outfit with meaningful and socially relevant lyricism at its core. 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. 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.” – Mesmerized, UK
“A dark, haunting guitar opens the proceedings. Understated and brooding, it’s joined by an almost militant drumbeat, instantly establishing the track as something much heavier than many of their previous releases. Though recorded remotely, there’s a surprising level of cohesion for a single recorded across continents. Vocals intertwine, veering between a clean traditional rock delivery to something straight out of the ‘80s hardcore handbook. It’s a dichotomy that’s reflected throughout the track. Sparse verses allow the lyrics to really resonate, while weighty and impactful choruses provide a sense of catharsis that’s missing from the more understated sections. For anyone that’s grown-up worshipping at the alters of thrash metal, ‘90s alternative, or even nu-metal, there’s plenty to enjoy across the track’s almost-four-minute run time. An interesting release from a band that defies expectations.” – RGM, USA
“Keep the Wolves Away explores a storming, chaotic, contrasting sonic texture that instantly stands out from all THE HYBRIS’s previous releases. They have created very vivid, almost palpable imageries through this song, but it’s also rich of melodic appeal. The determined guitar riff and high tensity vocals have you fully engaged, head banging, blood boiling. For THE HYBRIS, rock n roll and punk rock have already gone beyond the sound to its spirits, attitudes and core value. Leaning toward the tougher side, stepping into the genre of metal, they are unapologetic and hard core. Unlike the traditional punk lyrics, their lyricism are articulated with introspection and depth. A flair of poetry, reflecting the world without being too explicit. They certainly carry a sense of grace and style. Even though the lines are charged with emotions and angst.” – Punk Head, USA
“International alternative rock project continues to make waves with infectious anthemic hooks and socially-conscious lyricism. With Celebrate The Good Times, THE HYBRIS shows that they are a force to be reckoned with. Their sound is fresh, catchy, and full of attitude, and their message is one that resonates with many. The single is a testament to the band’s creativity and talent, and we can’t wait to see what they come up with next.” – SONO Music Blog, UK
