Hacride is a French progressive metal band. Formed in 2001 with musicians coming from an array of different bands, musical backgrounds and styles their sound has evolved from the raw extremities and odd time signatures of technical death metal to one that is more progressive and avant-garde.
Biography
Hacride was formed in 2001, in the French city of Poitiers, by bass guitarist Benoist Danneville, guitarist Adrien Grousset, vocalist Samuel Bourreau, and drummer Olivier Laffond. In 2003, they released their debut EP, Cyanide Echoes, produced by Matthieu Metzger.
In 2005, the band signed with Listenable Records and appeared on the record label's Various Artists compilation, Revolution Calling, providing the song "The Daily Round". Later that year, Listenable Records released the band's first full-length album, Deviant Current Signal. The band promoted this album in France and Switzerland through Deviant Tours I and II. They also took part in the VS Fest II at Loco in Paris on May 28, 2006. In mid-2007, vocalist Yann Ligner filled in on vocals while Bourreau was recovering from an illness.
In 2007, Hacride recorded their second album, Amoeba, with producer Franck Hueso, which was released through Listenable Records. This was followed by a third full-length album, Lazarus, on April 20, 2009. In late 2009, drummer Mike Roponus began filling in for Laffond, when the latter's wife became pregnant. In February 2010, Laffond announced that he was quitting the music industry to focus on raising his family, and Roponus became the band's official drummer.
In 2012, Bourreau left and was replaced by Louis-Claude Roux, formally of the depressive black metal band Havarax. The band also changed drummers again when Florent Marcadet replaced Roponus. The band was next signed by Indie Recordings.
On April 19, 2013, Hacride released their fourth album, Back to Where You've Never Been on Indie Recordings. It was co-produced by Franck Hueso and Marc Casanova.
In October 2013, the band embarked on a UK tour with support from Ten Cent Toy.
On July 27, 2017, Hacride independently released the EP, Chapter I: Inconsolabilis, as a digital only release via Bandcamp.
