Hypnogaja’s “This isn’t going to end well…” opens with a quiet warning — a lone guitar and voice tracing the contours of collapse — before erupting into a widescreen rock opera of distortion, melody, and menace. Frontman ShyBoy delivers a vocal equal parts confession and prophecy, while Jeeve drives the song toward chaos with cinematic precision. By the end, it becomes a full-blown melodic metal anthem — everything unraveling, yet finding power in defeat.

Hypnogaja’s latest single, “Things That Go Bump in the Night,” channels the grandeur of ’70s stadium rock while adding the band’s own cinematic edge. Recorded at guitarist Jeeve’s Los Angeles studio, it opens with gothic strings and piano that set a dark yet playful foundation before swelling with guitars, drums, and layered vocals into a widescreen, theatrical anthem. Lyrically, lead singer ShyBoy twists the classic monster-in-the-dark trope inward, revealing that the fear we dread isn’t an outside force but the voice in our own heads: “I’m the thing that goes bump in the night.”
ShyBoy’s new album His Royal Shyness (King Size Edition) dives deep into themes of intimacy, desire, and emotional tension through a cinematic pop lens. Out now via Stockholm-based Snafu Records, the expanded LP features extended versions of every track from His Royal Shyness, along with several new songs and remixes. The fierce and otherworldly “Dildo Machine (After Hours Remix),” featuring RuPaul’s Drag Race icon Alaska Thunderf**k, is a dark, late-night club burner built for the dance floor. “Green Lights and Red Flags (Tetramorph Remix)” shimmers with synthwave textures, sweeping strings, and irresistible after-hours energy. “Brand New Maybe” offers a slow-burning confessional wrapped in lush electric piano and crisp 808s—minimalist in structure but emotionally rich. Closing the collection is a stripped-down cover of Lana Del Rey’s “Norman f**king Rockwell,” a raw, soul-baring interpretation that amplifies the haunting beauty of the original.
