notes

Described by OUTBURN magazine as "enthralling, first-rate modern rock," APPLE.COM as "soulful rock with a subtle electronic backdrop" and the DENVER POST as music that "pushes boundaries," Hypnogaja's brand of contemporary rock is driven by melodic, sophisticated songs that cater to no trend.

The new release, AUDIO FROM LAST NIGHT'S DREAM (Union State Records), combines music from Hypnogaja's past, present and future by including popular tracks from the albums BELOW SUNSET, ACOUSTIC SUNSET: LIVE AT THE LONGHOUSE, KILL SWITCH and POST-HYPNOTIC STRESS DISORDER with brand new songs ("Perfect Existence," a preview from the band's forthcoming new studio album, TRUTH DECAY, due in 2008) and previously unreleased material ("Open Ending," from the BELOW SUNSET sessions).

Transcending its origins as an electronic music group based out of Los Angeles, CA, Hypnogaja has evolved with each album, transforming into a full-fledged touring rock band that's performed hundreds of shows across North America (opening for major label artists such as Saliva, Shinedown, Cold, Godhead, 311 and others along the way).

Since its inception, one thing that hasn't changed for Hypnogaja is the band's embrace of technology - something that's allowed the group to thrive artistically and commercially in the ever-changing music industry. Taking note of the band's techno-savvy credo, APPLE.COM recently published an in-depth article (www.apple.com/pro/profiles/hypnogaja) detailing the role of Apple® technology and products in Hypnogaja's grass-routes success story.

Numerous television shows, motion pictures, video games and soundtracks have featured Hypnogaja's music and/or licensed on-screen use of the band's merchandise, including AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL (CW), CARRIE (NBC Movie Event), COLD CREEK MANOR (Touchstone), DEAD LIKE ME (Showtime), DIRT (F/X), FLATOUT: ULTIMATE CARNAGE (Warner Bros. Interactive), HEROES (NBC), LAS VEGAS (NBC), ONE LIFE TO LIVE (ABC), PUSHING DAISIES (ABC), ROSWELL (WB), SEX AND THE CITY (HBO), THE LOOKING GLASS WARS (Scholastic), VALENTINE (Warner Bros.), and many others. Additionally, Hypnogaja frontman Jason "ShyBoy" Arnold has recently written and recorded vocals for the end title of the upcoming new Capcom video game, THE DEVIL MAY CRY 4, now in production.

    Hot Shit all the way live i seen them play at the GIG in Hollywood kicked ASS Period.

  • Amazing Vocals
    author: Morgan

    This singer is incredible. I bought the CD for the 5-dollar deal, and I am incredibly happy with my purchase. There are only 8 songs (one hidden remix at the end), but they are all very well composed and amazing. The only one I don't continuously listen to is "Spaceman" but even it has its merits.

  • Highly recommended cd
    author: Sid Thames

    This is a great cd.All the songs are top notch.Nothing Box is a real rocker.The Spaceman is an excellent ballad.Many of these songs definately belong on the radio.If you are a fan of Linkin Park or Collective Soul check this out.I bet this will stay in your cd player.

  • The "Best" presents come in small packages
    author: Debra Stocker editor of ALL ACCESS Magazine.com

    I would like to share with you all one of my favorite Christmas presents this year. You know what they say about how "the best presents come in small packages," well, this one sure did: a seven-song CD with a hidden bonus track, Kill Switch by Access Denied Music's recording artist Hypnogaja. I promised you would be hearing more about this band after they grabbed my attention performing at the Rock The Toy Box IV benefit for Toys For Tots at Paladino’s. The CD opens with a song titled “Nothing Box,” and is short of "nothing but the best" melodic songs and soaring vocals by ShyBoy. Once again Hypnogaja has my full attention, just as they did at their recent performance. From the start you will be hypnotized by Hypnogaja, which I believe was their objective by the design of their CD packaging. I hear influences of 3 Doors Down, maybe even Eminem. But "Need To Believe" (track #2) will leave you knowing this CD is radioworthy and one you will have to have. “Home," track 3, that’s where a little rap comes into play, holding the edge of melodic rock that keeps this CD from heading into another genre of music. Every CD has its ballad and song #5, “The Spaceman,” is Hypnogaja's, raging with extreme vocals, then it’s back around to explosive with the song titled “Nowhere”-which keeps you wanting and a little more. The last song on this CD is “Lullaby,” an orchestra of exploding drama. A bonus track, song #8, is hidden, so don't count Hypnogaja as being over yet! It may be titled "Nothing At All," but there's no mention of it on the packaging, and my guess is that's the way they wanted to wrap this CD up, saying “Nothing At All” about the last song. Well-mastered and engineered, Kill Switch is one you should pick up, with its powerful vocals and high-quality musicianship.

  • Amazing new rock band! This band is a rare find. Must check them out!
    author: Sky

    Kill Switch is one of the best albums out right now. Hard, melodic, nu metal comboed with a bit of raprock make this the ultimate album. The lead singers voice is amazing and the guitar riffs are so driving. They have great lyrics and the melodies are unparalled. I can't get these songs out of my head, especially Nothing Box and Lulliby. I bought a cd for myself and a friend off cdbaby and got this album for super cheap. It's one of the best deals around. If you are tired of hearing the same 20 songs over and over again on the radio like I am then you will find this album very refreshing. They kinda sound like Staind, Trapt, Linkin Park, Evanescence, Seether, Depswa, Metallica, 311 etc... you get the point. Great band hope to hear more from them. Oh, and cool website and sicky music video!!!!!
