Hyste'riah was a Swedish thrash metal/ metallic hardcore-band that originated in Landskrona in 1987.

Typical for the band's music was staccato-type playing technique, shredding guitar riffs, fast-fingered distorted bass parts and drum play in 6/8 rhythm. The name Hyste'riah was taken from a leftover track title from a previous band and had nothing to do with a certain album by an English rock band.

History

Formation and Attempt The Life (1987–1988)

Hyste'riah was formed by bassplayer J. B. Krown (from D.T.A.L.), drummer T. C. Hagen and guitarist Cliff T (later in Darkane and Terror 2000) at a local music festival in Landskrona. The band soon recorded the 4-song compact cassette Attempt The life which sold worldwide. These four songs brought Hyste'riah a lot of attention from underground zines and contact from the label Wild Rags in Montebello, California.

Jeremiad Of The Living (1988–1989)

Drummer problems resulted that the recording of what became the Jeremiad Of The Living 4-song compact cassette was done as a 2-piece act. This did not stop the band from writing more music. Wild Rags, who sold about 10% of their tapes now offered them a deal for their upcoming 4-song 12-inch single.

Hymns Of The Dead Vol 1 (1989)

In 1989 Hyste'riah appeared on the legendary compilation Hymns Of The Dead Vol 1 with Grave (band), Nihilist (band), Obscurity, Merciless, Leprosy, Treblinka...now known as Tiamat (band), Dismember (band), Atrocity, Macrodex and Kentic brosk.

Joining with another band and ending (1989)

Late in 1989 Hyste'riah joined forces with the remains of Helsingborg thrashers GOD. B. C. The result was a softer, doomier and more technical sound which made an end to their thrashy hardcore signum. The offered deal with Wild Rags was (for unknown reasons) rejected by some members in the new line-up and instead the band signed for Hellhound Records under their new name Hyste'riah G.B.C.

To The Death (2016)

In 2016 the recordings from 1987 and 1988 were freshened up in Darkane studios and re-released by To The Death Records.

gollark: `flush` isn't entirely needed but ensures that it's written to disk as needed.

gollark: Now, you would open the file *once*, then write to it *later*.

gollark: File writing example:```lualocal f = fs.open("file", "a") -- open "file" in a (append) modef.writeLine(line_to_write) -- write line to the filef.flush() -- write line to disk```

gollark: Not if you're being annoying.
