Anglagard - Hybris (expanded/digipack)
SKU
ANGLAGARD 01
Available again after a very, very long time. What can I say? This title is always in huge demand and drifts in and out of availability. Mostly out. This is a reprinting of the (beautiful) digipack version that the band put out several years ago that includes a bonus track that wasn't on the original version. You can tell if you have the version with this bonus track by looking at the back of the package - if it says "bonus track", you're already in the special club.
Hybris was the 1st release by one of the most acclaimed progressive rock bands of the last two decades and a record that pretty much single-handedly revitalized the genre. Anglagard emerged in late 1992 fully formed with this brilliant album, and it quite literally changed the progressive rock world, showing that bands could create new music that was as good as the 'greats of the 70's' but that didn't just copy them. Classic style symphonic progressive performed on guitars, bass/bass pedals, piano/ organ/mellotron, flute, drums & a smattering of vocals. Fantastic!
