In Greek mythology, Hyperion was one of the Titans (the offspring of Uranus and Gaia, the Earth Mother), the race of gods who held sway before Zeus and the Olympians emerged. Melbourne band Hyperion played a suitably majestic brand of progressive metal in the vein of Canadian outfit Rush. Hyperion built up a cult following on the local heavy metal circuit, and issued two well-received demos. In 1993, the band added Lara Jorgacevic (keyboards). In November 1994, the Def label issued the band's well-honed, melodic debut album Inundation, which reached the top of the Melbourne heavy metal charts. Cruze (ex-Despised) replaced Steve Cole in 1995 and Hyperion issued the CD EP Primal Storm in June 1996.
