This Fall your speakers aren’t safe. From The Blade of Seattle, HYPERSTRIKE erupts with their debut album High Risk.
A high-octane collision of anthemic clean vocals, bone-crushing riffs, punk-fueled drum fire, and the razor edge of melodic death metal, HYPERSTRIKE deliver danger with every track. This is metal built like an action movie soundtrack: explosive, relentless, and larger than life.
‘Meltdown’ — The core goes critical, and the blast is unstoppable.
‘Leaving You Again’ — Love is a weapon… and heartbreak is the trigger.
‘High Risk’ — Play the game, roll the dice… win it all, or lose your life.
‘Shadowbound’ — Where the darkness hunts… and only the cursed survive.
‘Warning Shot’ — One bullet in the chamber… and mania in his eyes.
‘Slug City’ — Neon streets, blood on the asphalt… nobody gets out alive.
‘Steel Heart’ — Forged in fire, unbreakable, unstoppable.
‘Slowman’ — You can’t outrun fate… when death walks at your speed.
‘King Of The Slain’ — One battlefield, one crown… and a throne of bones.
‘Savage Sword’ — Sharpened for vengeance, raised for the final strike.
Having previously released debut single ‘Warning Shot’, followed by “Savage Sword’, HYPERSTRIKE has now released the title track, ‘High Risk’.

BIO:
Born in the Blade, forged in chaos — HYPERSTRIKE is Seattle’s action metal war machine. Founded in 2024 by bass-slapping juggernaut Ben “Chop Daddy” Bennett, this band doesn’t play music; they drop sonic bombs. With a shadowy past tearing through thrash titans Warbringer and Bonded By Blood, and reigning as the “Lord of the Low End” in sci-fi shredders Xoth, Bennett knew exactly what kind of beast he was building. First, he wrangled in Ilya, the shredder known as “The Claw,” an assassin with riffs sharper than steel. Then came Adon, the “Brain Lord” — a maniacal force spitting venomous truths, carrying the fire from his days in Ghost Ship Octavius and the twisted depths of Spiritual Suicide. Together, they built a soundtrack for the end of the world: songs about nuclear meltdowns, cage fighters, and kings of the slain.
The final weapon in their arsenal? Josh, a drum-detonating powerhouse known as “Goblin Hammer”, whose percussive assault forged their chaos into a relentless onslaught. HYPERSTRIKE is a raw, unfiltered force with hearts of steel and a taste for mania. No apologies. No survivors. Just unrelenting aggression. Brace for impact—because once the trigger drops, nothing will ever be the same.
