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. Il disco è registrato agli Zenith Studios di Lucca tra fine 2003 e inizio 2004. 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. Le nuove influenze (Meshuggah, 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. La copertina è tratta da un'opera di Loretta Militano, pittrice e scultrice di Rimini — una figura rannicchiata, volto coperto dalle mani. ---------------------------------------------------------------- ALBUM DESCRIPTION — EN ---------------------------------------------------------------- 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 album was recorded at the Zenith Studios in Lucca between late 2003 and early 2004. 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. New influences (Meshuggah, 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 cover is drawn from a work by Loretta Militano, a painter and sculptor from Rimini — a crouched figure, face covered by the hands. ---------------------------------------------------------------- CREDITS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Lyrics by Mauro Pacetti for most songs, with three texts written by Andrea Mastromarco.
