A few years before the thrash metal revival really took shape, Hyades produced a blend of European and US old-school thrash metal with fast drumming, mosh guitar riffing, old-school vocals and socially critical lyrics, combined with a sense of humor.
After the release of "Abuse Your Illusions" in 2004, Hyades toured Europe with Omen, playing for the first time in Germany, Denmark, Austria, Belgium, Netherlands and Switzerland.
Cover artwork was realized by Ed Repka, best known for creating Megadeth's mascot Vic Rattlehead and Dark Angel's logo.
After the release of three albums in a short while, the band took a little break in order to concentrate to other musical projects.
The new album "The Wolves Are Getting Hungry", mastered by Andy Classen at Stage One Studio, was released on 29 June 2015.
