hydrahead. hh 666-40 / 11 tracks / 1999

LP has lyric booklet. Limited vinyl pressing: 107 on opaque red/yellow split, 165 on transparent red/yellow split.

Hydrahead does it again, their typical blend of complex hardcore and metal. If you need a comparison I’d name the Romans CD by Botch, but CP have some more gloomy death/grind influence. Still this is pretty diverse music, well-played and extremely well produced. [8]

Typischer HH-Sound, tonnenschwerer Mix aus Metal und Hardcore, am ehesten noch mit den neueren Botch-Platten zu vergleichen, aber mit etwas mehr düsterem Death/Grind-Einfluß. Abwechslungsreiche Platte, gut gespielt und extrem satt produziert. Sehr gut.

Tracks: sworn / unchartered / and the sea gave us its dead / crowskin / before the shrine of inequity / arc of infinity // the hole is home / so ripe / the gift / relaxed until the point of impact / all the way down
