They were quickly catapulted into the spotlight when they were invited to open for Within Temptation and later again for symphonic metal icon, Tarja Turunen in Brazil.

Hydria is comprised of Marcelo Oliveira heading up guitars/grunts, Turu Henrick on bass, Márcio Klimberg on the keys, and Fabiano Martins on drums, with enchanting lead vocals by the beautiful Raquel Schuler, who also on occasion plays the acoustic guitar.

It has been a long road for the band since 2007. Among many line-up changes, Hydria persevered towards their goal of making music. Hydria’s self-produced, self-funded debut album, Mirror of Tears, released in 2008 amidst the time most bands are still learning to play well with each other.

Their latest album mixes the melodic vocals of Schuler with occasional, yet highly skilled grunts by Oliveira. Poison Paradise takes the listener on a journey of highs and lows, varying speeds and emotions, ranging from symphonic operatic vocals and heavy guitar riffs, to sweeter, more mellow rock influenced sounds. While the topics covered can be quite dark, make no mistake in thinking Hydria is Gothic or simply rock.

The band firmly claims their metal roots and Poison Paradise can be described in one word: intense. Fans of their first album will be immensely happy with Poison Paradise. Regardless of their label-less standings, new listeners will find the maturity and fullness of sound to be equal if not greater than what is expected of a band assigned to a major label. Hydria is sure to set a new standard for their own creative abilities and garner even more attention than they have over the past 3 years.

The Sword
Hydria Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There comes the sword
Which will cause your deepest wound
But don't be afraid
'Cause pain will give you strength

The darkness will set you free
From the emptiness that you fear

CHORUS
Don't you ignore what your eyes can't see
You will find out that you're strong enough to face
your fears

The blade will hurt
But it can't bring you down to the floor
Your fate is in your hands
You must fight for your beliefs

The darkness will set you free
From the emptiness that you fear

CHORUS
Don't you ignore what your eyes can't see
There is much more in life for you to learn and feel
In the air you breathe, the love you seek
There's all life's beauty
You will find out that you're strong enough to face
your fears

You shouldn't forget what words can't say
You have so much more to give
