Early 80's Ohio hardcore bands Plasma Alliance and Kein Krieg merged to form Hyper as Hell in the mid/late 80's. Crossover, thrash, Voivod, punk, and experimental bands of the time period were heavy influences. Pushing the limits, creating a "happening", and exploring new musical territory were accomplished. One of the most under- rated bands to escape regular music archival history, they were usually an opening act for any of the national touring acts of the punk scene. They came from a time when some visionary artists had no designs on "getting signed" or trying to get involved in the business aspect of music. In 2018 they were asked to reform and play a few shows, which they are doing, and will continue to do on a limited basis.. as well as having My Minds Eye records release a proper 2xLP discography of the 80's / 90's highlights.
