Hibagọn

Hibagon is a heavy and polyrhythmic two-piece act born in Bergamo (Italy) in 2011. The duo channels the energy of the straightforward guitar + drums formula into irregular textures, bringing it back to the listener in geometric and distorted frames.

In 2011 Hibagon collects the tracks of its first months of existence and publishes the 7 songs EP “Hibagon VS Monsters Spewed from Time’s Stomach to Clutch the Universe in a Mortal Slime”, followed by two years of touring, where the band gathers the first largely positive public responses.

Reinforced the impact and deconstructed the song-form, the duo records a second EP, named “Hibagon and the Quest for the Creature Previously Known as Moughra the Guardian”: it’s a 5 chapters novel, strongly influenced by sci-fi culture, released in October 2014 on Fumaio Records.

Pushed by the positive reviews and the good crowd response at their live shows, Hibagon intensifies its live activity in support of this album, and 2015 sees the band leaving Italy for its first European tour: a series of 14 shows in 4 different countries - France, Belgium, UK and Ireland - and for a second one in Switzerland and Austria in January 2016.

The duo has a clear musical direction, and in 2017 publishes a new LP, named “POLYPOSMIC”, on which you find 12 tracks, more intense and dynamically various than ever. The album comes out in CD for Wooaaargh Records (DE), Taxi Driver Records, La Fornace DIschi, 5Feet Under (DK), Pied de Biche (FR), and in September in 12” vinyl LP for Taxi Driver Records, Il Verso del Cinghiale, Woooaaarrgh (DE), 5FeetUnder (DK), Gabu Records (FR), Pied de Biche (FR), Brigante Records, I Dischi del MInollo and Toten Schwan.
