As you know by now, back in September Hydra Head Records would be closing its doors. I was deeply saddened that my favorite label was going under because of the state the music industry is in. But according to a recent post on Hydra Head’s official blog, the label that brought you Isis, Pelican, Daughters and more may still be able to keep breathing. Introducing Hydra Health; a Hydra Head rehabilitation project. According to the post the label will still not be able to release new records BUT they will still be able to preserve their catalog with your help! The label is offering a slew of special purchasable items (with more on the way) in order to raise money for their upcoming represses. Here is the official statement:

Back in June, Converge drummer Ben Koller announced on Facebook his involvement in a new project with Cave In guitarist/vocalist Stephen Brodsky. In a recent interview with Stephen via The Alt Review, it was announced that the new project was entering the mixing stages. The currently untitled project has seven tracks in its repertoire to be unleashed upon the world. This is what Stephen had to say:

Ben and I have Andrew Schneider onboard this month to mix 7 songs that we recorded ourselves last summer. We’re stoked to put this twisted mutant noise into the world soon… however, we still need a good name! Any suggestions?

I know you all are as anxious as I am to hear what this project will sound like. Looks like we will have to wait a bit longer…

Isis, Pelican, Daughters, Cave In, and These Arms Are Snakes are just a few of the bands that have worked under the umbrella of Hydra Head Records. This label has put out so many memorable releases (at least to me) and has always had an eye for quality, which is evident due to their amazing past and present roster. Sadly label founder and ex-Isis frontman Aaron Turner announced that the legendary Hydra Head would be closing its doors. This is official statement composed by Aaron:

Converge drummer Ben Koller recently announced via Facebook that he and Cave In vocalist/guitarist Stephen Brodsky are currently demoing for a new project. That’s right, two fantastic and prolific artists working together to hopefully create something that will kick our ears in the testicles. If our ears had testicles. This is what Ben had to say:

“Did some work on a demo for my new band with Steve Brodsky last night and it sounds friggin killer! Anyone have a good band name for us??”

Yeah Ben, I have a name for your band; Awesome Possum. That’s right, name your band Awesome Possum. Because the music will/HAS to be…awesome possum. Anyways, be on the look out for more news from this project.

I am sure Lane hasn’t been online today otherwise this post would have already been up. Lane isn’t the only fan of Old Man Gloom around here though. I fucking love this band and I, like a lot of people, have been patiently waiting for their new album NO. Lane posted about the first single off of this album called “Common Species” and I am glad to let you know that another new track called “To Carry The Flame” which you can listen to in the widget below.

This track is fucking intense and if you have been even a little bit excited about this new album, this song should bump you up to the “fuck yeah, holy shit” level. Check out both new Old Man Gloom songs below and get FUCKING PUMPED! NO will be released next Tuesday via Hydra Head Records.
