New York City-based death metal quintet HYPOXIA – formed by members of MONSTROSITY, VILE, SECRECY, CASTRATOR, TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION, and more – returns with their third album, “Defiance”.
HYPOXIA is well known for their energetic and aggressive live shows. They have played many festivals and shows all over the country and South America including Soul Metalfest, Las Vegas Deathfest and Rock Al Parque 2018, sharing the stage with bands such as SUFFOCATION, CATTLE DECAPITATION, DARK TRANQUILITY, DARK FUNERAL, DIABOLIC, OBITUARY, ONSLAUGHT, RAZOR, MASACRE, EMBALMER, EXUMER, MALEVOLENT CREATION, DERKETA, and many more along the way.
The dawn of 2024 sees HYPOXIA returning with several lineup changes since the prior record, now prepared to deploy their most merciless material to date with Defiance, pummeling the listener with eleven songs in thirty-seven minutes. The apocalyptic riffage and divebombing solos by guitarists Carlos Acboleda (NON ETERNAL, ex-SECRECY, ex-AETHER) and new guitarist Ryan Moll (RUMPELSTILTSKIN GRINDER, AZURE EMOTE, TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION) are constructed atop the earthmoving rhythm section of Carolina Perez (CASTRATOR, ex-AETHER) and new bassist Mike Poggione (OMNIPOTENCE, ex-MONSTROSITY, ex-CAPHARNAUM), the relentless roars of Mike Hrubovcak (AZURE EMOTE, IMPERIAL CRYSTALLINE ENTOMBMENT, ex-MONSTROSITY, ex-VILE) ripping their way through the savagery.
Recorded by HYPOXIA, “Defiance” was mixed and mastered by Noah Buchanan at Mercinary Studios (MIDNIGHT, EMBALMER, NUNSLAUGHTER) and completed with cover art by Daemorph (THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, PYREXIA, AVULSED). Prepare yourself for an old-school onslaught of new breed death metal domination!
