Belgian cult band Hybryds, known for their experimental music that engulfs a blend of electronic, ambient, ethereal, and tribal sounds, released a brand new single, "Ritual For Baphomet". The single is a part of the compilation Eclectica XI — Cosmic Reverence, which was just released by Weisskalt Records.
Intentionally underground, Hybryds has been active since the mid-80s working in the ritual - mythical -industrial and magical music scene. This band is known for its mind-expanding sound. Primitive ethical and contemporary industrial influences are blended to create a unique style that has influenced many who were looking for spiritual dimensions at the beginning of the 80s, based on ancient influences and modern technology.
