Hyborian - Volume II - CD + BOOK

CD with 12-page booklet along with 'The Traveller: A Hyborian Tale' book.

The incisive and anthemic metal on HYBORIAN's 'Vol. II' is rich with propulsive riffs, lean and infectious arrangements. Join The Traveller for the explosive force of "Planet Destructor", the rampaging "Driven By Hunger", and the abounding arsenal of "Stormbound". HYBORIAN bears down hard on their mission for sonic conquest, and sophomore album 'Vol. II' is nothing short of world-class metal.

Author Martin Bush further explains, "For our next record, we decided that we wanted to expound upon the concepts we introduced with 'Volume I.' The Traveller (the cloaked figure on the cover of 'Volume I') was a central figure in the mythos we were building, so for this album we wanted to focus more on who/what The Traveller is. The more we talked about it as a band, the more involved the ideas became, until there was just way too much to be able to cram it into an album's worth of song lyrics. Over most of 2018, we were touring pretty nonstop, but I was finding time here and there to start putting all those ideas down on paper. Eventually, we had a book, which tells the same story as our upcoming full-length 'Volume II,' just in much, much more detail. It's basically an origin story for The Traveller, set in the very last days of existence. The story focuses on a father and son, who, as far as we know, are the last humans alive, and their struggles to survive as the universe crumbles around them."
