HYSTERICA - Metalwar

Let me start by saying I have read a few other reviews about this cd and they have left me scratching my head wondering what the Hell these other reviewers were listening to, I mean how do you not love this Freakin band? Hysterica is an all female Metal band from Sweden that will hopefully break down some of those long standing stereotypes about women in Metal such as one of my favorites, "Man those chicks are hot but they cant play like dudes". 10/10

Cd review The metal pit

I have followed Hysterica a while through myspace, and after I got hold of a copy of their debut album Metalwar, I have played this a lot lately. There is no doubt about that Hysterica is true to metal music, and after just a few listening's you will hear a lot of inspirations, influences from many of the biggest metal bands in the world.......... read more at..... melodic hardrock today

A new all-girl metal band has entered the scene: HYSTERICA from Stockholm, Sweden. These girls deliver right-in-your-face melodic metal, and pretty good stuff too. One of my colleagues at Sweden Rock Magazine utterly dismissed this 5-piece recently, but I must say that was not a fair review at all. Sure, there are improvements to be made in the years to come, but this is more than a decent album. Stylewise it is a bit mixed, so there are songs that will attract fans of ACCEPT as well as IRON MAIDEN, but still I wouldn't say these girls sound like them. Also, it gets different when there's a girl singing. Anni De Vil is the name and she's like an angry LITA FORD voicewise. In the softer moment the songs may resemble some of the heavier LAMBRETTA stuff, but not even that is a fully accurate description. I guess the best thing for you would be to listen for yourselves. Sometimes De Vil's voice gets too thin, where the rhythm playing and the production is rich and powerful. This is good, and it's nice with a girl singing metal for a change. The members produced this CD themselves, but it was all recorded and mixed by the brothers Tommy and Peter (Pain) Tägtgren metal.net

Dessa fem unga kvinnor från Stockholm får finna sig i att bli kallade för amazoner. Med sångerskan Anni De Vill i spetsen gör de kaxig Judas Priest-hårdrock och ett flertal av numren på debutalbumet sätter sig som flugpapper, men jag vore en PK-fegis om jag inte alls låtsades om att jag är ovan vid rena tjejband i metalgenren. Tro nu inte att jag tycker att det är fel, men hur bedömer man främmande fåglar? Ska jag gilla dem för att de är ovanliga eller för att de är bra? Tja... Skit samma. Jag gillar Hysterica. De kommer att gå långt och Girls made of heavy metal är en pungspark mot metalgubbar som inte vill släppa in dem. PETER LEJON Barometern


interview Metal Maidens December 2008.
Sometimes a band catches you by surprise to never let go. Their music, their songs, their attitude, their looks.... Yes, everything seems to be perfect about the Swedish all-female band HYSTERICA. These five ladies from Stockholm, called Bitchie (lead guitar), Hell'n (drums), RockZilla (lead guitar), Satanica (bass) and Anni De Vil (vocals) bring you the perfect heavy metal sound and their great songs and the good looks of five heavy metal vixens could only exist in your wildest dreams. It took awhile, before we were able to finish this interview, but today we proudly present you the story of HYSTERICA so far. We deeply bow in respect for this all-female heavy metal band. HYSTERICA rocks big time and this is what leadguitarist Bitchie had to tell us..... Read whole interview
