The Ages Collection

The band explains the album.

After creation, we have an era of peace. Death and disease are unknown – all that exists is perfect order and harmony across the cosmos. All things must end, however, and as the first man dies, the first vestiges of chaos herald a new age. As man becomes more and more frightened of losing what he has, war and conflict break out, bringing in an age where order and chaos are just barely balanced. When this balance breaks, chaos reigns supreme, with death and destruction as the only rulers of the stars. At the end of this age, we see a rapid decay….and a rebirth. The cycle repeats. And repeats again. But every age has its story, and every story has its teller.
Soon, these stories will be told.

For a limited time you can stream the entire First Age via the Hybrid Nightmares Bandcamp page – www.hybridnightmares.bandcamp.com/album/the-first-age

The release will consist of over 100 minutes of music with the first release The First Age being released on Thursday, 15th January, 2015 with an album launch to coincide with the release on Saturday, 7th February with special guests Catacombs, Aquilus, Adamus Exul and Amaros.
