Description
With their 2nd studio album „Acid Mist tomorrow“, French metal experimentalists HYPNO5E create a unique musical realm. You could call it „ambient metal“ or „fusion metal“; there is the airy playfulness of modern day′s CYNIC in their songwriting, but the melodic, mellow side is only half of the picture. The other side is dark and crushingly heavy, but the airy serenity always comes back at one point: this is what makes „Acid Mist Tomorrow“ so interesting and captivating.
After 2 full US tours and more than 200 shows alongside bands such as GOJIRA and even ABIGAIL WILLIAMS, HYPNO5E are no longer just a „French phenomenon“. The 4-piece′s live shows display a holistic approach to the arts: with video projections and conceptual lighting being an integral part of the spectacle, HYPNO5E create a mesmerizing atmosphere that sucks the listener into their dark cosmos. The band was recently seen supporting legendary fusion metallers CYNIC across Europe.
“Acid Mist Tomorrow” trägt eine emotionale Dimension mit sich, die nur wenige Veröffentlichungen aufspannen können. Schwermütig, trostlos, geradezu verzweifelt klingen die knapp 52 Minuten – und das zu jeder Zeit absolut authentisch, konsequent und Gänsehaut verursachend.” – Metal.de, 10 / 10
