POWER PROG is proud to announce the signing of one of the most
respected, prestigious and best-known Metal bands worldwide, the
Brazilians of HIBRIA. The first common goal is the release of their
upcoming and self-titled album "Hibria" in Europe from August 7th, 2015
on CD, download card, as digital download and as stream.

Metal band HIBRIA, formed in 1996 in Porto Alegre/Brazil, has been
recognized worldwide, both by the media and the audience, after the
release of the stunning debut album "Defying The Rules" in 2004 and a
highly successful journey began. With a lot of attention in their home
country, the Brazilians were able to establish itself as superstars in Asia
and especially in Japan, where each of their albums ended up in the Top
100 charts and where they are easily able to fill the largest venues at their
live performances for over a decade. Meanwhile HIBRIA is a real
international force and a hot contender when it comes to climb the global
metal throne.

With the self-titled fifth studio album, HIBRIA presents itself in a fresh and modern garment without abandoning the
proven virtues and the distinctive use of a wide variety of different styles. Whether classic metallic, speedy,
thrashy, proggy or even funky with a sensational operating brass section ... with their playfulness and musical
skills they always hit the right notes to lift phenomenal songwriting up into higher spheres. Certainly HIBRIA's
heaviest album to date, and, with all due respect, the most mature and undoubtedly best one!

The mastering, done by none other than Maor Appelbaum (Faith No More, Yes, Adrenalin Mob, Ill Nino, Sepultura,
Angra, Dokken, Halford, Fates Warning, Therion, Anvil ...), ensures an innovative, intensive and brutal dynamically
coat of paint ... Exactly how modern, sophisticated and "in your face" heavy metal should sound!
