<\/a><\/p>\nSince the Big 8 were the doorway for me into heavier music, I have a soft spot for thrash. To the delight of many listeners like myself, there has been a great resurgence of thrash as of late. Members of those Big 8, like Testament, Overkill, and Death Angel, have had some great records the last few years. There has also been a new generation of thrash bands emerging from all over the globe, but they still have the classic Bay area sound. Bands such as Mortillery, Lost Society, and Battalion have picked up the thrash torch to carry it into the future. Another such band is Hyades. Formed in Busto Arsizio, Italy\u00a0in 1996, they were not really noticed until the release of their debut album “Abuse Your Illusions” in 2005. Two years later they issued their sophomore effort, “And the Worst is Yet to Come,” and then “The Roots of Trash” in 2009. After a six year hiatus that included a bass player and a record label change, Hyades is finally back with a new album, \u201cThe Wolves Are Getting Hungry,\u201d released on Punishment 18 records June 30, 2015.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Wolves Are Getting Hungry\u201d starts out a little slower than a usual Hyades record. As a matter of fact, there are probably more mid-tempo songs on this album than any they have had before. But never fear, the riffs of guitarists Lorenzo Testa and Marco Negonda are still strong in the tradition of their thrash forefathers. Marco Colombo jumps right in and gets things started with his made-for-thrash vocals on \u2018The Economist.\u2019 He even throws a hint of melody in the chorus to keep things fresh. We find this is the case on many of the other mid-tempo chuggers like \u2018The Decay of Humankind,\u2019 \u2018The Great Lie,\u2019 and the ridiculously lyriced \u2018Sing This Rhyme.\u2019 When Hyades does pick up the pace, which they do so swimmingly on the blistering \u2018Ignorance Is No Excuse,\u2019 \u2018Heavier Than Shit (Hyz IV),\u2019 and my new theme song \u2018Eight Beers After.\u2019 The remaining tracks, \u2018The Apostles of War,\u2019 title track, and \u2018Hyades (2015 Version),\u2019 fit somewhere in between, and retain that thrashy crunch we expect.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Wolves Are Getting Hungry\u201d is not your typical Hyades album, but that is alright. The band has been gone for a while and you would expect some changes over time. Luckily, not so many changes that you do not recognize the band they were before. All in all, \u201cThe Wolves Are Getting Hungry\u201d is good effort from Hyades, and I for one am glad to see them back!<\/p>\n
