Hyades is an Italian thrash metal band that takes its name from a star cluster in the constellation Taurus, embodying the intensity and energy found within the thrash genre. Formed in the late 1990s, the band solidified its presence in the metal scene with its aggressive, riff-heavy sound and socio-political lyricism. Their music consistently pays homage to the classic thrash metal of the 1980s while infusing their own brand of modern aggression and technicality.

With notable releases like "The Wolves Are Getting Hungry" (2015), the band has continued to garner attention on the thrash metal circuit, delivering relentless power and maintaining a loyal following. Earlier works such as "The Roots of Trash" (2009) and "And The Worst Is Yet To Come" (2007) highlight their commitment to the raw, fast-paced energy that characterizes thrash metal. Their debut album, "Abuse Your Illusions" (2005), set the robust foundation for their subsequent musical endeavors, establishing Hyades as a force to be reckoned within the European metal community. Through their potent blend of traditional thrash elements and a keen sense of melody, Hyades has etched out a distinctive sound that continues to evolve while staying true to the roots of the thrash metal genre.
