2012 release from the Swedish all-female Heavy Metal band. Hysterica started working on The Art of Metal in mid-2010 when keyboardist Marydeath joined the band.  They did a lot of experimenting with their new sound. Anni De Vil has also augmented her singing techniques by incorporating both extreme singing as well as clean singing in the new songs. All members of the band have taken part in creating the lyrics for the new songs.
