Hypnosis was born in 1993, but the real start took place in 1996, When Patrice (bass), joined forces with the two original members, Cindy (guitar, vocals) and Pierre (guitar, vocals & machines).
From then, they started to develop their own style, from the death-metal of the beginning to a more personal stuff, that can be described as a blend of death-metal riffing and electronic elements, deep growls and original female voices...
The first album, “Shadoworld”, was released in 1999 on Black Lotus Records (Greece) and received cheering reviews from all over the world. But Hypnosis really started to build its own and strong identity with its second effort, “Humanoid”, out in 2001 on Sacral Productions (France). After that, Patrice left the band that decided to have a break to redefine its ambitions...
Cindy and Pierre started to rehearse again in the end of 2002 and recorded a promo-cd in 2003 that permitted the band to sign a deal with Crash Music (Usa) for the release on its third opus, “Cyber Death”, in 2004. Patrice helped the band to record this third album, and Hypnosis started, for the first time in its career, a 26 gigs tour across France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Italy and Spain to promote this release, with a session bassplayer.
Patrice finally came back in august 2005 and Hypnosis could start to compose its 4th album, “Seeds of Fate”, released in 2006 on Bent Records (France) and considered by the european metal medias as their best album to date!!!. Once again this album was followed by nearly 40 gigs across France, Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Germany and Czech Republic...
Back from this tour, Hypnosis starded to work intensively on its most mature effort to date, “The Synthetic Light Of Hope”, that has just been released in France through Great Dane Records. In 2008, the band also gave 30 shows, including a european tour. This tour permitted the band to welcome Greg as a new lead singer!!!
