Cody Hyde is an independent guitarist, songwriter, and producer from Minnesota who specializes in heavy metal and hard rock. Operating primarily out of his own home studio, he writes, records, and produces original instrumentation while frequently collaborating with vocalists and musicians worldwide to build an expansive catalog. 

Musical Style and Influences:

Hyde's signature sound is defined by a heavy fusion of metal and hard rock characterized by aggressive, overdriven guitar riffs balanced with melodic arrangements.  His influences include Metallica, Bullet For My Valentine, Shinedown, Black Veil Brides, & Papa Roach to name a few.  Big anthemic hooks and epic melodies are the core elements you’ll find in most of his tracks.  

Cross-Genre Collaborations: Beyond metal, Hyde actively provides studio guitar work for other artists, including a 2025 alternative R&B and pop single titled "War" alongside his sister and cousin.
