Hyde Release New Album ANTI Out Worldwide Today

“'Mad Qualia' the latest [single from HYDE], will be a knockout on tour: black fuzz guitars and stuttering drums, HYDE racing out of that fury with rousing sing-along effect in a mixed rush of English and Japanese that suggests Metallica, Mötley Crüe and mid-Seventies UFO crushed into the same hooks. 'Zipang' will be a killer on the road too even without the record's guest pianist, Yoshiki: a dreamy neo-classical ride that blows up with Queen-like pomp. And while 'Fake Divine,' a Top 10 Japanese hit in October, has familiar soft-loud dynamics and raw vocal anguish--Foo Fighters have perfected that combo over 25 years--HYDE's single has an explosive class of its own. The pit will go crazy in the chorus.”
