RIP a great record label
What utterly bastardly shitty news: Hydra Head will shut its doors in December.
Label head and Isis legend Aaron Turner emailed his customers tonight to break the bad news. They can simply no longer afford to run the label.
Love or loathe Hydra Head, there’s no denying they have released some pretty important records since that first Vent 7″ in 1995.
Mmmm, I just LOVE jam. More jam please Mummy.
It’s been a while since I posted some quick-fire nuggets of MDG “wisdom” about my week in music rather than hundreds of words of self-indulgent waffle about a single record.
As always, I’ve veered from one extreme to the other.
From the metallic hardcore cacophony of Converge and Trap Them to the twisted Lynchian torch songs of Lana Del Rey with a dash of dank death from Miasma.
It’s been a good week.
