Hybryds have been active since 1986, starting with the release of their tape “Mythical Music From The 21st Century” on their own label, 3Rio Recordings. Over the years, they've released numerous works, showcasing both a harder industrial side and a subtle (dark) ambient style, sometimes even incorporating a sensual tribal infusion. However, their music has always retained a ritualistic and magical essence. Currently, the group includes founder Sandy Nys, Peter De Koning (Trauma Sutra), and German member Madeline Arndt from the ethereal rock band Schattenkinder.

Their latest release, “In The Wake Of The Witch,” available digitally and on Bandcamp with exclusive tracks and instrumental remixes, epitomizes Hybryds' magical ritual music. It blends traditional instruments and modern electronics to create a modern, tribal, and somewhat otherworldly atmosphere. The title track opens the album with a hypnotic and enchanting vibe. The album features diverse tracks like the industrial-tinged “Ritual For Pazuzu” and the rhythmic “Drum Wars,” designed to captivate listeners and transport them away from earthly realities into a trance-like state surrounded by mythical beings and perverse gods.

Tracks like “Warriors Code” and “Grande Est La Morte” offer a blend of rhythmic intensity and ethereal vocals, emphasizing themes of struggle and mortality. The music is rich and evocative, with many tracks around ten minutes long, allowing for personal interpretation and imaginative experiences. The album "In The Wake Of The Witch" demonstrates Hybryds at their best, merging ancient and modern elements, masculine and feminine energies, and exploring themes of sin and pleasure, beauty and decay, fear and hope, all within a transcendent musical journey incorporating industrial, ritual, tribal, and ambient influences.

This album isn’t about bashing religion and faith. That would be a pretty cheap trick.
