Having signed with Morbid Records (de) in 2000, the self-titled MCD got released followed by the debut full length ‘In Blood We Trust’ the same year, featuring Mika Luttinen / Impaled Nazarene as guest vocalist. The release was promoted during the NO MERCY FESTIVAL where Hypnos shared the stage alongside MORBID ANGEL, DYING FETUS, BEHEMOTH, ENSLAVED, and THE CROWN.
In 2001, the second album “The Revenge Ride” was released. This album was recorded and mixed by HARRIS JOHNS (HELLOWEEN, KREATOR, SODOM, TANKARD, PESTILENCE, VOIVOD) and mastered at MORRISOUND Studios (Tampa, FL). Following its launching, HYPNOS participated in events including WITH FULL FORCE, SUMMER BREEZE, PARTY-SAN and HELL ON EARTH among others.
The third album ‘Rabble Manifesto’ (2005) recorded again with Harris JOHNS received an extremely positive response within the global metal music media. Additionally the album got nominated for the Czech Andel Award (a Grammy Award equivalent) under the Hard and Heavy category. In January 2006 HYPNOS performed live with CENTINEX and PURGATORY before going on a deliberate hiatus.
Bruno and Pegas reformed Hypnos after four years of silence and the EP ‘Halfway To Hell’ was released. A comeback show was performed at the BRUTAL ASSAULT Fest in 2010 and the band gained a massive response from around 13,000 fans. ROOT’s bassist IGORR joined as a guest guitarist before becoming a permanent member. Meanwhile, VLASA (Six Degrees of Separation) joined the band as a second guitarist and consequently three shows were performed together with NAPALM DEATH.
By late 2011, Hypnos got signed with the German label EINHEIT PRODUKTIONEN, and the fourth album entitled ‘Heretic Commando / Rise Of The New Antikrist’ saw the light in April 2012 including a bonus DVD for the digi-pack edition. Recording duties were handled by the Norwegian sound engineer Børge FINSTAD (MAYHEM, IHSAHN, BORKNAGAR, ULVER). This was a breakthrough in the band’s history and quality reviews resulted in press like DECIBEL MAGAZINE (8/10), ROCKHARD, LEGACY, METALLIAN, TERRORIZER, EMP, and NUCLEAR BLAST. Furthermore Cili Chili, the Czech VODAFONE magazine featured an exclusive interview with Bruno concerning the band and the metal music scene. Hypnos shot a video for the track title ‘Inverted’,directed by Mejla BASEL, responsible for MACHINE HEAD ‘Darkness Within’ and the Czech Academy Award winner MARKETA IRGLOVA ‘Crossroads’ videos. During 2012, Hypnos performed live with NAPALM DEATH, and later with VADER during the BACK IN BLACK tour.
In 2013 year HYPNOS have been scheduled for example for EXTREME FESTIVAL (GER) or BRUTAL ASSAULT FESTIVAL (CZ).

Lovesong
Hypnos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna wanna be cool
I wanna lie by your side
I wanna hold you my heart
I wanna touch your white skin
Give me the hand, I bought you rings
I do not mind if you are cold as ice
For you I am splitting in two
I had to go very deep
Cause I want to join you in sleep
You are my silent bride
I want you to feel my inside
When I am kissing you
Together we are forever
Against we are making love
In passion we are drowned
[REF:]
I am sorry, I hurt you
You have been always the best
But you pissed me off, don't you?
I miss you anyway
I couldn't keep my anger
I realize that's bad
My shotgun was loaded
So you are seven weeks dead
You are seven weeks dead
You are dead
Dead
The lyrics of Hypnos's "Lovesong" are at once passionate and chilling. The singer professes his desire to be good and cool and lie by his lover's side, and he longs to hold her heart and touch her white skin. He has bought her rings and claims he does not mind how cold she is, as he is "splitting in two" for her. However, the tone takes a dark turn as the second verse reveals that the singer's true desire is to join his lover in sleep forever. He calls her his silent bride and wants her to feel his insides when he is kissing her, to be forever together and making love against the world.
The chorus of the song is a startling shift in tone, as the singer abruptly confesses to having killed his lover seven weeks ago. He apologizes for hurting her, calls her the best he's ever had, but also admits that she had angered him and he couldn't control his anger. The use of the metaphor of a loaded shotgun suggests a premeditated act of violence, and the repetition of "you are seven weeks dead" adds to the eerie atmosphere of the song.
Overall, "Lovesong" is a haunting portrayal of obsessive love and its destructive consequences. The singer's yearning for his lover is both seductive and terrifying, and the sudden confession of murder in the chorus is a jarring reminder of the violence that can result from unchecked passion.
