Очень интересный симфо и пауэр-металл из Италии. Поют с 2006 г., последний альбом Existentia был выпущен в 2016 г., очень достойная музыка. Состав менялся несколько раз, вот и в 2019 г. пришла новая солистка, известная певица Eleonora Russo. Судя по синглу Path of Salvation, который группа выпустила с ней в 2019 г., довольно своеобразный голос, звучание группы немного поменялось, но не в худшую сторону. А в нынешнем году обещают новый альбом.
Hypersonic was born in 2006 by the idea of Salvo Grasso and Emanuele Gangemi. The line-up established with Maria Rita Randazzo on vocals, Francesco Testai on keyboards and Giuseppe Carciotto on bass. When Maria Rita and Giuseppe left, the band welcomed Vera Romeo and Francesco Caruso. In 2007 Hypersonic released his first demo (“Demo 2007” with the first tracks composed by the drummer Salvo Grasso and the guitarist Emanuele Gangemi. A new singer, Alessia Rapisarda joined the band in 2008 and her beautiful and powerful voice was welcomed with enthusiasm. At the beginning of 2008 the band released their first EP entitled “Inspiration Is Transpiration”; it was acclaimed with positive feedback from magazines and various radio promotions. In the following months Francesco Testai left the band for personal reasons so Dario Caruso, Francesco’s brother, became the new keyboarder: the line-up was finally accomplished. During these years the band took part in numerous live shows and Rock and Metal festivals. In March 2009 Hypersonic entered at Tower Hill Studio (Belpasso/Catania-Italy) to record their first album “Fallen Melodies”, mixed by Luigi Scuderi and Salvo Grasso and mastered by Riccardo Samperi at TRP MUSIC STUDIO (Tremestieri Etneo/Catania-Italy). In December 2010 Hypersonic released the new single “Rebirth” online from the album. In January 2011, the band signed a record deal with Underground Symphony to release the debut album “Fallen Melodies”, scheduled for January 31th. Fallen Melodies had a great success in the following months, receiving great reviews and interviews from Heavy Metal zine and webzines worldwide. Hypersonic played in different European and Italian festivals like Elements Of Rock (Switzerland), Femetal Fest and We Rock Fest (Italy). In January 2016 the band signed a record deal with Revalve Records for the releasing of the new album entitled “Existentia”. The new album is a concept based on the existence of man and the spiritual affairs afterlife and it will be released in March/April 2016. In the album there are some special guests like: Michele Luppi (Secret Sphere, ex-Vision Divine, Killing Touch, Los Angeles), Tommy ReinXeed Johansson (Sabaton, ReinXeed, Golden Resurrection), Jo Lombardo (Metatrone, Ancestral), Roberta Pappalardo (Astralium), and more.
