Hebiimetaru are a five-piece Groove Metal band from the peaceful country of Brunei Darussalam.
In early 2004, Zays, Zaz and Fizo formed the band after quitting their former band Dark Omen. Within a year, Fizo met Amil at a gig and through mutual friends. Impressed by his skills and attitude on stage, he then decided to organize an audition giving a chance for Amil to impress the band further.
In search of a vocalist, Zays then discovered a local Thrash metal band (Evilive) and was impressed by the powerful vocals. He then invited Arif (then vocalist of Evilive) to temporarily fill in for vocals for an upcoming gig. The gig turned out to be successful for the band that has now proven their potential in the local scene. Arif would later have to leave to pursue his studies overseas, which left the band searching for a replacement.
In 2008, Hebiimetaru called the search off as they've found their new vocalist. Metal Amal became the voice of Hebiimetaru. With a female fronted vocalist, they achieved online fame and recognition through their single 'Black Heart'. However, her time was short lived as the band decided to go for another direction.
In 2009, the band asked Arif to return to vocal duties and after giving it much thought, he finally accepted their offer. The band slowly transitioned into an entirely new machine. By mid 2009, the band entered the studios to record their début album 'Legion Of Metaru'.
Legion of Metaru was released in February 2010, which was welcomed with generally positive reviews by the locals.
2011 marks the progress and a change within the band. With Suep replacing Zaz as the new drummer, Hebiimetaru's sound has since evolved once again. As of 2014, the band is currently recording their latest EP.

L'horizon est paradoxal, à la fois porte d'entrée vers l'infini mais aussi un mur qui bloque notre regard. Ekove Efrits le transcende dans son troisième album Conceptual Horizon, il le met à la merci de son imagination. Hypermnesia a été un tournant pour le one-man band iranien qui fait de cette nouvelle création un théâtre du monde au nombre d'acteurs et de décors quasiment illimité. C'est un des albums de black metal dépressif les plus éclectiques que je connaisse : un grand coup de maître ! Jordan Vauvert

I love this particular niche of modern black metal. Crisp, biting production and clear, cutting riffs. Imperialist are among the best there is right now. Brett (Lascaille's Shroud / Soulmass)
