Sounds Like:
A MIX OF EVERYTHING METAL!
"Hybrid Illusion laying down their riffs with fucking kickass solos over the hard rocking riffs and vocals, they really knew their songs and kept it all in time with a tight setlist all the way through" - Metal S.A
"Good fucking tunes you have demo'd. I like the style and glad to see ya getting some exposure from the hard work." - Adelaide Metal
"I’d put you up with Skintilla, Officer, Down and Arch Enemy as being one of the best bands I’ve seen live. All the parts of the set and of each song seemed to flow together seamlessly – no member of the band seemed to drag behind or be de-emphasised, and everyone played at what seemed almost a virtuosic level of skill." - Kejumonyet
"You boys have really come along since we saw you last at SAP. That guitarist of yours can really shred. Keep it up." - Left By The Wake
“… With thick, relentless riffs. Raw, powerful vocals. And dominant, frenetic drum work - very much like that of Slayer, Metallica, or Pantera, this Adelaide based Metal Quintet make use of their undeniable skill to create a unique brand of music that is truly their own.†- Matt Boyce
"HAVOC EP, immensely rich with copious use of smoothly crafted guitar rhythms accompanied by the odd beastly deep vocals that enforce the tunes into the listener’s head. " - Anonymous
"A slight preview of what is to come out of this talented group." - Metal SA
"It is one of the better albums to mosh and move to, constantly up, original and excellent use of guitar and vocals" - Anonymous
"Awesome riffs!, killer melodies!, these songs definitely stick in your head!" - David Swiko-Cox
