Hypnos is a name that has carved a niche within the heavy metal scene, particularly in the death metal genre with a significant fan base across Europe. Formed in the Czech Republic in the late 1990s by frontman Bruno "Hynek" Kovařík, who was an ex-member of the notable death metal band Krabathor, Hypnos entered the metal arena with force and dedication. Their music is characterized by its aggressive riffs, intense rhythms, and deep growling vocals, often exploring themes of darkness, mythology, and anti-religious sentiment.

The band's initial years were marked by a series of releases that quickly established them as a formidable force in the underground metal community. Their self-titled debut album "Hypnos," along with subsequent albums such as "In Blood We Trust" and "The Revenge Ride," displayed a gritty and unapologetic sound that resonated with fans of the genre. Over the years, Hypnos has continued to evolve their sound without losing the raw intensity that defines them. Albums like "Heretic Commando / Rise of the New Antikrist" showcase a band that's unafraid to push boundaries and explore the depths of the human psyche, always maintaining a connection with their roots in the metal tradition. Their more recent offerings, "Halfway to Hell" and the dual titles "The Blackcrow" and "The Whitecrow," present a band that has maturelyd without losing the core of their aggressive sonic identity, ensuring their ongoing relevance in the metal world.
