    Pros: Mellotron, Flute, Killer Guitar, Bass, Drums

    Cons: Lyrics in Swedish

    The case can be made that this is the greatest album ever. If the album cover speaks to you, the album does not disappoint. The cover appears both ancient and intricate. Through the cracks of old age eminates a subtle beauty as well as a frightening ...power. It requires an investment from the listener; it is too big and complex to appreciate at a single encounter. It is not unlike those magic eye pictures that one must unfocus one's eyes in order to see the hidden vision. But when one's eyes are finally open to the musical themes..well, I can only say that I wish I could experience my first time over again. I can only compare it to walking into the cathedral of Notre Dame. It is immense, it is ancient, and it is a religious moment. So, yeah, I like it. Read more Less

Hybris is a tense exercise of minor chord compositions, and is more aggressive and condensed than their second album, Epilog, which has a richer feel.

Like the other Crimson Swedes, Anekdoten, Anglagard crams angular hooks and start/stop tempos into every moment they can spare. Writing lengthy symphonic pieces, the band sound like many big '70s acts but always play with a very tough sound. Meaty... Read more
