Hyperlogical Non-Sense è il secondo full-length di AydrA, uscito nel 2004. La sua genesi parte dal MEI di Faenza del 2002: il concerto previsto salta, ma la band lascia un promo di quattro brani allo stand della Rising Works. Frank Andiver — batterista fondatore dei Labyrinth, già fan di Icon of Sin — si propone di produrlo. La trattativa si chiude in pochi giorni.
Il disco è registrato agli Zenith Studios di Lucca tra fine 2003 e inizio 2004. Andiver porta una qualità produttiva nuova: chitarre stratificate, batteria tridimensionale, basso in evidenza. Undici brani, circa 38 minuti — il punto più alto raggiunto dalla band sul piano tecnico. Esce per Xtreme Rising, la divisione metal estremo della Rising Works, con distribuzione Self in Italia ed Europa: la prima distribuzione strutturata su due continenti.
La formazione è Mauro Pacetti (voce), Francesco Olivi (chitarra solista), Alessandro Marcelli (chitarra ritmica), Andrea Mastromarco (basso) e Nicola Raffaeli (batteria). Le nuove influenze — Meshuggah e Gorguts — spingono verso tempi irregolari e dissonanze.
Il concept è filosofico, non narrativo: il «nonsenso iperlogico» è lo stato in cui la ragione, spinta a un livello di analisi estremo, finisce per perdere il contatto con il reale. I testi attraversano dogmatismi religiosi e ideologici, sdoppiamenti dell'identità, paranoie ossessive. La copertina è tratta da un'opera di Loretta Militano, pittrice e scultrice di Rimini — una figura rannicchiata, volto coperto dalle mani — sormontata da una nuova evoluzione del logo disegnata da Mauro.
"I tuoi templi grondano il loro sangue per l'eternità." Hyperlogical Non-Sense
Hyperlogical Non-Sense is AydrA's second full-length, released in 2004. Its genesis goes back to the 2002 MEI festival in Faenza: the planned show fell through, but the band left a four-track promo at the Rising Works stand. Frank Andiver — founding drummer of Labyrinth, already an Icon of Sin fan — offered to produce it. The deal closed within days.
The album was recorded at the Zenith Studios in Lucca between late 2003 and early 2004. Andiver brought a new production quality: layered guitars, three-dimensional drums, bass up in the mix. Eleven tracks, around 38 minutes — the highest technical point the band reached. Released on Xtreme Rising, the extreme-metal division of Rising Works, with Self distribution in Italy and Europe: their first structured distribution across two continents.
The line-up is Mauro Pacetti (vocals), Francesco Olivi (lead guitar), Alessandro Marcelli (rhythm guitar), Andrea Mastromarco (bass) and Nicola Raffaeli (drums). New influences — Meshuggah and Gorguts — push toward odd time signatures and dissonance.
The concept is philosophical, not narrative: "hyperlogical non-sense" is the state in which reason, pushed to an extreme level of analysis, ends up losing touch with the real. The lyrics move through religious and ideological dogmatism, identity splitting, obsessive paranoia. The cover is drawn from a work by Loretta Militano, a painter and sculptor from Rimini — a crouched figure, face covered by the hands — topped by a new evolution of the logo designed by Mauro.
"Your temples drip their blood for eternity." Hyperlogical Non-Sense

Fantasies left alone are the fertile mud of my sick. When the thought tarse from I enter the vortex of desire. I'm out of control, demon drives my actions, I'm ready for the beast, perversion invades my mind, impulse takes form, start now my... my second life. Much time is gone and I'm conscious of my action, awake my body with the past. No one'll give me secret, it's only for me, you are the object of my sin, in this house I'm your God!! Your voice is a noise, I'm inflamed from that, attend your death in silence or die in an eternal pain.
I can survive without your lies and live free until I'll die, I praise no lord to forgive myself but I respect thoughts different from mine. Fill your head with shit, incomprehensible doctrine. You're the creator of discrimination — eliminate the unknown. Distorted advices of right persuade your self — a conceit of perfection. Show me sign of your supremacy — I wait for your demonstration, fervent in sacred arrogance you are in a contradiction. I despise your priggishness, you are blind and full of shit. Where's the mercy you parade? You are the worst opposer of your Gods!!! Stupid act of penance cannot save your fucking ass — read the book you adore: they, your contrary, instigate holy war, millions killed for your Gods — your temples drip their blood for eternity!!!
My way is closed with walls created of shit and pain. They have taken my freedom to live a life without control. Where's my sanity? Where's my evil cry? Where's my... inside me it lives. All is false. Where's justice? Where is truth? Here's your evil? All is false. Come in again into the valley of grey, walls of pain, in my head, falling down. The insane man, they are borning us, they control our life, never see, never to be, see your end — your desire. This was my end, inside the insane man. RISE....!! FALL....!! This was my way, inside the insane man. LIES....!! LIES....!!
I'm searching a new messenger, I'm the new messenger. Show me the way, the mistery of my creation, show me the way, in my desire, I read the sign, I'm still waiting the sign of divinity but I don't understand my dream. I'm in a state of mental confusion, nothing to say, nothing to be, I'm so scared, I'm so scared. It's clear: the ancient eye feels the icon importance who are from an infinite time inside me. The creation talks of an unique God, the creation talks of an unique law. I am the God of all around me and inside me. I create life and death, my world will live into terror, there's no good in my heart.
Welcome to a new dimension of pain, your new house!! Existence will be not the same from today — full of pain. You must find the way to convert your sufferings in anger against who make you suffer. Remove all regrets, increase yourself. Destroying all your sentiments, Thoth has thrown its false masquerade. Know who you are: reflect and reconnect. Your life means more than falsities. Confusial state distorts your perception of facts, oppresses your mind. Begin to confront your behaviours with other's betrayal, rise and go away.
lyrics: Mauro Pacetti · music: Mauro Pacetti & AydrA
Born in a strange form of life, my body searching a soul to eat. My master taken my soul, far my power, and left me in this grief. A voice calls me and tells me what I have to see: "You must kill your hidden master-enemy, search your revenge, this is your dying wish, you are new man unleashed to dominate." Now you can see the rage on my face, ages to ages my life in my brain. Can you hear the sound of my death? Never see. I cut the line of destiny, I cut the flesh all around me. Now — now you know the face of death. Cry — this night I want destroy your head!!
What's this fucking noise? I feel it pulse in my brain. I'm waiting for silence but pulse and pulse again. So scared... so cared... I'm waiting to go mad. The fear of obsession invades me, I cry!! And wanna die. A day to pay the price of my soul. Oh God, give me the power to.. ..decide what's my way, but this noise pulse again. No time to be myself and pulse and pulse in my brain. So scared... so tired... no time for the tired. The season of madness is come, no way to escape. I pray my God "save me if you can", you have the power to... Wake up, it's a new day, this noise doesn't pulse, OK, but I feel it rises in me and pulse for another day.

Rise, fall, rise, fall again, this is the story of my life. I will run burning of desire, every day I have a nightmare, I see myself fighting against myself. Never be the same rises in me my ancient rage, come in my point of view, see what I have to do... Rise, rise, pain! No one is evil — like strobos in me, strobos like this. Everyday I live my normal life but in a second time — I see my dream and now I know I can change!! I changed myself to live in my head a new great desire. Search into yourself, take all your evil. LOVE IS DEEP INSIDE!!
Ego's erased... low mental phase, impulses braked by out lines. Ideas refused.. mind lies confused, brain's trapped into stereotypes. Senses start revolt against beliefs in mental anarchy, unless dogmas fall breeding unbeliefs, muddled path to be. Mirror reflect appearance of a strange state of place, vertigo reveal existence of upcoming state of chaos. Disorder domain in action, falling in a preconceptions, exhumed inhibitions, chained mental progression.

In memoria di tutte le persone perse durante il percorso della band.
In memory of all the people lost during the band's journey.
Gli AydrA, pionieri del technical death metal italiano, nascono nel 1985 evolvendo dal thrash verso sonorità sempre più complesse e feroci. Dopo gli acclamati Icon of Sin e Hyperlogical Non-sense, la band torna nel 2024 con Leave to Nowhere, un concept potente e attuale che segna il ritorno definitivo della loro furia tecnica.
Le radici della band affondano a Falconara (AN) nel 1985, sotto il moniker Hydra: tre cassette in territorio power/thrash metal. Nel 1991, con l'ingresso di Mauro Pacetti (basso/voce) e Francesco Olivi (chitarra), la band sposta il proprio sound verso il thrash/death tecnico. Nel 1993 esce Demo 4, primo lavoro firmato AydrA; seguirà Penance Stare (1994).
Nel 1996 esce il mini-CD Psycho Pain Control (Dawn of Sadness), registrato da David Lenci al Sound Machine. Nel 1999 arriva il primo full-length Icon of Sin (Sound Machine Recordings), album di culto del tech-death italiano. Nel 2004, prodotto da Frank Andiver per Rising Works / Extreme Rising, esce Hyperlogical Non-sense, accolto con entusiasmo dalla stampa specializzata — con Andrea Mastromarco al basso.
Dopo una pausa e una reunion nel 2013, la band riprende l'attività e, dopo una lunga gestazione, nel 2024 pubblica per Rude Awakening il concept Leave to Nowhere, media recensioni 8,51/10 e diversi premi come miglior album metal dell'anno. Nel 2026 Rude Awakening pubblica la ristampa CD definitiva di Icon of Sin.
Formed in 1985, AydrA are pioneers of Italian technical death metal, evolving from thrash roots into a complex and aggressive sound. After the acclaimed Icon of Sin and Hyperlogical Non-sense, the band returned in 2024 with Leave to Nowhere — a powerful, modern concept album marking the resurgence of their technical fury.
The band's roots go back to Falconara (Italy) in 1985, as Hydra: three power/thrash cassettes. In 1991, with Mauro Pacetti (bass/vocals) and Francesco Olivi (guitar), the band shifted toward technical thrash/death. In 1993 they released Demo 4, the first work as AydrA; Penance Stare followed in 1994.
In 1996 the mini-CD Psycho Pain Control (Dawn of Sadness) was tracked by David Lenci at Sound Machine. In 1999 came the first full-length Icon of Sin (Sound Machine Recordings), a cult record of Italian tech-death. In 2004, produced by Frank Andiver for Rising Works / Extreme Rising, Hyperlogical Non-sense was released to enthusiastic specialist press — with Andrea Mastromarco on bass.
After a hiatus and a 2013 reunion, the band resumed activity and, following a long gestation, in 2024 released the concept album Leave to Nowhere on Rude Awakening, with an 8.51/10 review average and several Best Metal Album honours. In 2026 Rude Awakening releases the definitive CD reissue of Icon of Sin.
