Hyperhead – Terminal Fear (B-sides – 1993)

Hyperhead were a British alternative rock band formed by former Gaye Bykers on Acid singer Mary Mary (aka Mary Byker) in the early 1990s. After Gaye Bykers on Acid split up, Mary Mary joined Pigface before forming Hyperhead, which included his Pigface colleagues Martin Atkins (also formerly of PiL and Killing Joke) and William Tucker (also previously of Revolting Cocks and My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult), along with bassist Karl Leiker and guitarist Paul Dalloway. The band released the album Metaphasia in 1992 on Devotion Records.

Here are the b-sides tracks from Hyperhead’s Terminal Fear CD single. All are non-album tracks – love it when non-album tracks were included on singles. B-sides rule man. Anyway, Divine Individual is a jazzy sorta track with Mary’s growling “You’ve got the looks, not the lifestyle!” (A reference to the PWEI album ‘Looks or the Lifestyle?’?!), Thank You God is a humorous satirical “thank you” to God herself, but the stand out track for me is No Illusion (Vox) which combines a harmonica along with an almost Latin sounding metal riff. Good stuff
