Hypoid is Barend Nieuwstraten III. A one man band that stems from many influences and branches out to several side projects (about 10). Born out of audio experimentation and distaste for the mainstream (and so called 'alternative' music), Hypoid strives to create variety in its sound and provide an alternative to pepsi approved slave music.

Reviews
For ‘Mutations: a Tribute to Alice Cooper’
Heavy kick-ass bass lines prevail in “Billion Dollar Babiesâ€, as Hypoid even has that Alice Cooper vox down. "Baby, I adore ya’!"
-Sonya Brown, STARVOX
Hypoid's cover of "Billion Dollar Babies" is a hypodermic to the brain, with its ham-fisted guitars and frenetic drum programming .
-Jarret Keene, LAS VEGAS MERCURY Listening Station
For ‘Notes From Thee Real Underground (Volume 2)’
Hypoid's Deprogramming Deposits of Fat is guitar-free but aggressive electro-industrial. Also missing are the cookie-monster vocal distortion all too common to EBM. This is certainly one of the more original tracks, but is not particularly dance-floor friendly due to its heavily syncopated beat. The other track, Resistance is Fertile fires in the completely different direction of heavily distorted rock music, with a prominant Cult-esque guitar riff.
-Rat Bastard, LEGENDSMAGAZINE
For ‘You Knew It All Along’ – Things Outside The Skin
They even cover the Spice Girls "Spice Up Your Life". I even like the remix version better called "Slice Up Your Wife Mix" by Hypoid because it's very more danceable and on a darker industrial edge.
-Donovan Tate, Grave Concerns E-Zine
The addition of 8 remixes and 3 radio edits may initially look like filler to reach the admittedly long playing time of 70 minutes, but most are worth a listen, specially the Hypoid ones which could rather easily be taken on any dance floor.
-FiXXXer667, Connexion Bizarre
For 'Uncoiled Loops'-compilation (industry sampler not available to public)
...The next track, “See Static†by Hypoid is my favourite in the comp, mixing various genres together, namely power, industrial electronica and alternative, merging rock guitars with drum programming and glitches in a perfect combination, topping that with deep, distorted male vocals, the result being an extremely rhythmic track, danceable, confident and highly addictive
-Luminatrix (Heathen Harvest)
