Colin from Hyperia. How are you hey?

8
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:11.040
I'm doing great. Thanks? How
are you so? I'm great?

9
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.959
I can tell you right off the
bat. As a long time thrash metal

10
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:23.840
head, this new song iMac thrash
Machine Man, it was amazing. It

11
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:33.319
kind of reminded me of old school
Nuclear Assault. All right on, that's

12
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:37.480
a compliment for sure, absolutely,
So tell us a little bit about you

13
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:42.439
guys. For our listeners that have
never heard your music before, how would

14
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:47.120
you, as the artist, want
to explain yourself to them? Yeah?

15
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:51.000
So, yeah. The band's called
Hyperio. We kind of describe ourselves as

16
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:57.040
melodic thrash metal. We have a
lot of influence from bands from the eighties

17
00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:01.079
like Nuclear Sol like you said,
or Exodus Anthrax Creator, but we also

18
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:05.719
try and add kind of a bit
of a modern take to it, especially

19
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:12.719
incorporating some more melodic elements and neoclassical
guitar parts, as well as a wide

20
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:17.520
range of vocals from thrash to death
metal to black metal to even some clean

21
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:22.879
or harsh cleans. I guess,
yeah, totally. And one of the

22
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:27.800
things that's cool about you guys.
Okay, So as somebody who like literally

23
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:30.560
all those bands you just mentioned,
they're from my day. Like I was

24
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:35.639
at the first Slayer show ever,
first Metallica show ever. I used to

25
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:39.479
when Metallic and Slayer left LA me
and my bro used to hitchhike up to

26
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:46.000
the Bay Area to go to the
real thrash metal shows. And you know,

27
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:50.639
one of the things I always loved
about thrash metal compared to any other

28
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:54.800
part of metal is nine of the
band sounded exactly the same, like there

29
00:02:54.879 --> 00:03:00.800
was such uniqueness for every band,
and I think that all So hold's true

30
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:06.199
for you guys, Yeah for sure. Yeah. So I mean, if

31
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:08.759
I heard your music, I would
know it's you, you know, And

32
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:15.879
so that's key, I think,
especially nowadays because nowadays it seems like so

33
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:20.919
many metal bands are all trying to
sound the same and use some like formula

34
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:28.840
and yeah, Thrash was just never
that. So that's definitely something you're not

35
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:36.240
like, you have your influences like
everybody does, but you still have your

36
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:40.280
sound. Yeah, that's something that
we've definitely it's been a priority of ours

37
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:44.159
to kind of you know, we
want to we want to have that where

38
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:46.759
it's well, yeah, you can
tell you listen to a song and you

39
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:50.759
can kind of tell it's us,
like you said, which is cool.

40
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:53.960
It's cool to hear that from you
because it's definitely something that we want to

41
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:59.520
create. So so tell us a
little bit about what else you got coming

42
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:03.439
up here on the rise in and
anything you want the listeners to know about

43
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:08.039
that's coming out for you guys that
they can check out. Yeah. So

44
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:13.199
we're playing a festival up in BC
where we're from, in a little town

45
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:17.600
called Penticton on October twenty eighth.
It's called Underground Wasteline Festival. It's going

46
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:23.000
to be really cool. Otherwise,
we have we're playing our in Vancouver,

47
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:30.040
opening for the legendary Exciter and lych
King the Red Room on Halloween. Wow,

48
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:34.040
otherwise. Yeah, we've released the
two singles so far. Automatic Thrash

49
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:36.720
Machine as a music video is our
newest one. It was a lot of

50
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:42.519
fun to make that one. We'll
have one more video single coming out in

51
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:47.920
October. Otherwise. The album releases
in November seventeenth, and then, Yeah,

52
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:50.879
the plan is just to kind of
tour as much as we can into

53
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:57.360
the new year and play as many
kind of international shows as we can.

54
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:01.800
Nice and that's so so cool.
You're playing with excited like, can you

55
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:06.000
believe forty years? Like, yeah, I don't know. It blows my

56
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:15.000
mind, you know, it blows
my mind that I was alive for forty

57
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:19.240
years, much less that I listened
to a band for forty years. It's

58
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:23.920
crazy, man. Yeah, they're
They're a legendary Canadian van for a reason.

59
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:30.560
They've been through it all and still
going. Yeah, I caught them.

60
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:36.319
I think it was Hellfest last year
and it was it was pretty badass.

61
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:42.240
So man, that's pretty exciting to
tour with them because that's going to

62
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:46.759
be a serious chef definitely. Yeah, we're really looking forward to that one.

63
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:51.160
Any plans for the US or anything
you're looking at, specially US festivals?

64
00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:58.199
Oh no, plans for festivals in
the US, but but we're definitely

65
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:02.120
planning to do You're in Washington,
right, I'm actually in South Florida.

66
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:09.439
Oh it's so the opposite corner.
I don't know why I said, I

67
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:13.240
thought I saw Washington. Sorry,
So yeah, we have we have plans

68
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:16.120
to do like a West coast tour
down to California next year. For sure.

69
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:20.000
We would love to obviously come out
to Florida potentially, you know,

70
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:25.439
I mean there's been the festivals on
our raidar obviously, seventy thousand tons of

71
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:29.199
metal would be insane. You know
what would be a cool one too,

72
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:34.560
is tomorrow I'm leaving to go do
Aftershock in Sacramento. Oh nice, You

73
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:40.959
guys would fit in perfect there because
there's always, you know, that that

74
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:46.360
thrash element because it's so close to
the Bay Area. Totally. Yeah,

75
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:50.240
that would be right up rally.
So you're just putting that word out there,

76
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:54.959
I'm putting it out there in the
universe so they can contact you.

77
00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:01.079
Yeah, that'd be great. So
what was that moment in life where you

78
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:05.079
knew this was what you wanted to
do. Was there a moment that happened

79
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:09.399
that you're like, oh, my
god, this is it? Yeah,

80
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:14.480
I mean, let's I mean probably
the first show, like the first metal

81
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:17.240
show I went to was in two
thousand and eight. It was the Giganteur

82
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:23.800
with Megadith in Flames Children about him. I think job for a Cowboy,

83
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:27.480
But that I remember that was is
my first metal show in general, and

84
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:31.000
it was obviously a huge stadium show. I think, like I had known,

85
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:33.040
I mean, I had played guitar
at that point, so I knew

86
00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:36.879
I was into that kind of stuff. But I think just watching watching bands

87
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:41.759
of that caliber play a stage in
a stadium, like a huge stadium,

88
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:45.160
sold out show, that I would
say for sure it was like a huge

89
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:50.560
moment for me in wanting to make
that my dream as well, and from

90
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:55.839
going from being on the other side. Where did it feel when the first

91
00:07:55.839 --> 00:08:01.199
time you ever actually were on stage
yourself? Yeah, that was awesome.

92
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:05.879
I was I think I think I
was thirteen at the time. An old

93
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:11.000
band that I was in in like
middle school. We did this kind of

94
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:16.079
battle of the band's thing in my
hometown and that was really cool. I

95
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:20.480
mean I didn't know what to expect. It was kind of just this open

96
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:24.199
air blend of a bunch of different
genres. We were probably the only metal

97
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:28.399
band at the time, I'm pretty
sure. And yeah, it was pretty

98
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.240
surreal. I mean it was awesome. I remember just trying to like think

99
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:37.320
about, like what about the musicians
I get in spread from, like how

100
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:39.320
do they act on stage? What
do they do, and just trying to

101
00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:43.720
kind of like replicate that and kind
of like copy their stuff. But obviously

102
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:48.600
the nerves were there, and I
probably just looked like a like obviously just

103
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.759
like a super on you know,
like, yeah, I had no experience.

104
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:58.440
So but even looking back, I've
seen videos and pictures and from it

105
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:01.559
recently. It was looking back on
it, and I mean for a thirteen

106
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:07.080
year old kid, it's pretty cool
for sure, and totally was a huge

107
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:09.399
No, they're huge. Yeah,
yeah, I think it was. If

108
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:13.080
it was made, i'd be looking
back on them like, holy shit,

109
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:18.720
I look a lot better than I
thought I did. Yeah, I think

110
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:22.480
so. Yeah, I mean,
I don't know, it's it was cool.

111
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.559
I mean come a long ways since
then, but still, yeah,

112
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:28.759
I mean the fact that we did
that at that age, like none of

113
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:31.879
my other friends were doing that kind
of stuff at that age, so it's

114
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:37.200
pretty cool. So what and there's
a good question. What did those friends

115
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:39.879
back then think of you, like, came up on stage and performing,

116
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:45.679
especially, they were not doing stuff
like that. Yeah, they all thought

117
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:48.320
it was super cool. I mean, so, yeah, I was in

118
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:52.559
a band, so obviously the four
other members in the band were obviously that

119
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:54.320
and they were a good friends of
mine. But other than that, people

120
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:58.039
just kind of thought it was cool
and weird and different. The school that

121
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.960
I was in was kind of primarily
almost like every kid my age was just

122
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:07.039
mainly into hockey and and playing sports
and all that kind of thing. So

123
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:09.639
it was definitely that was definitely the
odd one, I would being the musician

124
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:13.519
and being Canadian, you have to
be into hockey, right, It's like

125
00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:18.879
a requirement when you're born. Totally. Oh yeah, and that was me

126
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:22.440
too. I played hockey all my
childhead and then eventually music took over.

127
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.200
But yeah, a lot of them
came out to the show. They thought

128
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:28.000
it was super cool that they mean, it was a fairly big crowd for

129
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:31.919
a first show. Obviously, all
the other bands brought their their people too,

130
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:37.679
so nice, you know. And
I gotta say, I think hockey

131
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:43.440
and metal go hand in hand.
You know. It's like you can practice

132
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:46.240
for in the mosh pit for the
rink, and you can practice in the

133
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:52.440
rink for the mosh pit. I'd
say so. Our Bassis would definitely agree.

134
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:58.639
He's he plays, he's like a
huge hockey dude. So there's definitely

135
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:03.279
some parallels for sure. Absolutely.
So how does everybody reach out to you

136

Otherwise you can find us on Facebook, Instagram. It's all pretty much

platform. All the new singles are out

142
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:35.559
on the on Spotify, Apple Music. Other than that, the videos we

143
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:39.000
have on our on our YouTube channel
just Hyperia as well. And it's it's

144
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:43.679
a pretty uncommon name and words,
so I think if you just google google

145
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:46.960
Hyperia, something will come up.
Yeah, you know, it's funny you

146
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:54.679
should say that because it's such a
cool metal band name, especially thrash metal

147
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:58.519
band name. It's weird that nobody
ever took and took a name like that

148
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:05.399
until now. Totally the only other
bands we've seen were not metal at all.

149
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:09.759
And there's one band in particular I
think called it was like Awakening Hyperio.

150
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:15.360
That was some old EDM electronic band
thing. But they've they've been out

151
00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:18.519
of it for at least five or
ten years. So yeah, I mean

152
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:22.200
it's been great for us. It
makes it easy to find us and right

153
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:26.960
and yeah, totally, it's so
hard to come up with band names nowadays,

154
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:31.159
like so many bands they put they
like change letters to make them upside

155
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:37.200
down, or symbols or or or
all kinds of things, because like you

156
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:41.240
run out things to call your band, and like your your band name is

157
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:45.279
like the perfect name. I would
be sitting there and thinking, holy shit,

158
00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:50.600
has this name still available? Hey
we're in the same boat. Yeah,

159
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:52.840
definitely. That's always our go to
is you know, check Spotify,

160
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:58.600
check metal archives, make sure no
one else has it or no other active

161
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:01.840
bands have it. But yeah,
I guess we just got lucky for sure.

162
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:05.000
There you go. Any thing else
you want to let the listeners know

163
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:09.919
that we haven't covered already that they
need to know about you guys, No,

164
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:11.120
I would say, yeah, just
check out our new music video,

165
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:15.480
Automatic Trash Machine. It was a
really fun one to make. It's just

166
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:20.240
a keger fuel party chaos video.
We got one more video coming in October

167
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:24.159
for the last single. This would
be way more kind of a serious or

168
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:28.799
kind of vibe, just some time
for Halloween and then otherwise. Yeah,

169
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:31.799
I just appreciate anyone checking us out, supporting us by buying merch or even

170
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:37.080
just listening, streaming our stuff on
Spotify or whatever. It's all good.

171
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:43.759
Nice. Yeah, that video it
gave me flashbacks of being in the eighties

172
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:46.879
and in the whole scene, because
that's exactly what would happen, Like you

173
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:50.120
would go to a Metallica show and
then go back to their house after the

174
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:56.919
show and like just partying, headbang
all night long. Yeah, that's that's

175
00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:00.879
the way to listen to thrash for
sure. That's it. Well you guys,

176
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:03.519
rock Hope to see a lot more
