Hyste'riah
Hyste'riah was a Swedish thrash metal / metallic hardcore band that originated in Landskrona, Sweden, in 1987.
Typical for the band's music was staccato-type playing technique, shredding guitar riffs, fast-fingered distorted bass parts and drum play in 6/8 rhythm. The name Hyste'riah was taken from a leftover track title from a previous band and had nothing to do with Def Leppard's album Hysteria.
History
Hyste'riah was formed by bassplayer J. B. Krown, drummer T. C. Hagen and guitarist Cliff T at a local music festival in Landskrona. The band soon recorded the four-song cassette Attempt the Life which sold worldwide. These four songs brought Hyste'riah a lot of attention from underground zines and contact from the label Wild Rags in Montebello, California.Drummer problems resulted that the recording of what became the Jeremiad of the Living four-song cassette was done as a two-piece act. This did not stop the band from writing more music. Wild Rags, who sold about 10% of their tapes now offered them a deal for their upcoming four-song 12-inch single.
Late in 1989, Hyste'riah joined forces with the remains of Helsingborg thrashers GOD. B. C. The result was a softer, doomier and more technical sound which made an end to their thrashy hardcore signum. The offered deal with Wild Rags was rejected by some members in the new line-up and instead the band signed for Hellhound Records under their new name Hyste'riah G.B.C.
In 2016, the recordings from 1987 and 1988 were freshened up in Darkane studios and re-released by To The Death Records.
