New York City-based death metal band HYPOXIA, formed by members from well - known bands like Monstrosity, Vile, etc., is back with their third album, Defiance. Founded in 2008 by drummer Carolina Perez and guitarist Carlos Arboleda, HYPOXIA's sound is heavily influenced by iconic death - metal acts such as Sepultura, Death, and Vader. Their early releases, including the 2011 demo The Purge and the 2013 Public Execution EP, quickly caught the eye of the death - metal underground. This attention grew significantly after the release of their debut album Despondent Death in 2015 by Ultimate Massacre Productions and its brutal follow - up Abhorrent Disease in 2019 by Selfmadegod Records. HYPOXIA is famous for their high - energy and aggressive live shows, having shared the stage with numerous top bands at festivals across the US and South America. In 2024, with a few lineup changes, HYPOXIA is ready to unleash their most unforgiving material yet. Defiance, a 37 - minute album with eleven songs, features earth - shattering riffs from guitarists Carlos Acboleda and new member Ryan Moll, thundering rhythms from Carolina Perez and new bassist Mike Poggione, and the relentless roars of Mike Hrubovcak. Recorded by the band itself, Defiance was mixed and mastered by Noah Buchanan at Mercinary Studios and has stunning cover art by Daemorph. Get ready for an old - school yet new - breed death metal onslaught!
