Hydra Head Records is an independent record label that specializes in heavy metal music, founded in New Mexico by Aaron Turner (the frontman of Isis) in 1993. It has another imprint, Hydra Head Noise Industries, which specializes in experimental and noise music. Hydra Head was founded in 1993 as a distribution company while Turner was still in high school. In 1995, he moved to Boston to attend art school. In late 1995, he was handed a demo by local band Vent. That seven inch would be the first record released on Hydra Head.〔 The label grew to accommodate local bands such as Roswell, Corrin, Piebald and Converge, and after Turner graduated from college in 1999, it became a full-time endeavour.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Punknews.org Some of the bands signed to the label include Cave In, Xasthur, Kayo Dot, Boris, and Jesu. Its discography includes Botch, Khanate, and Harkonen, who were all signed to Hydra Head prior to their respective disbandings. On September 11, 2012, Turner announced the "imminent demise of Hydra Head Records", stating that Hydra Head would take its first steps into shutdown "this December, at which point we are cutting off new releases from the label." The label will continue to stay operational, maintaining its back catalogue to pay off its "rather sizeable debts."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Imminent Demise of Hydra Head Records )〕 The label's final release of new material was ''Worship is the Cleansing of the Imagination'', a split album between JK Flesh & Prurient. == Current roster == *27 *Agoraphobic Nosebleed *The Austerity Program *Big Business *Black Face *Boris *Cable *Cave In *Cavity *Craw *Dälek *Daughters *Discordance Axis *Drawing Voices *Everlovely Lightningheart *Greymachine *Gridlink *Harkonen *Harvey Milk *Helms Alee *Heresi *Jesu *Kayo Dot *Keelhaul *Khanate *Khlyst *Knut *Logh *Lotus Eaters *Lustmord *Mamiffer *Merzbow *Nihill *The Octave Museum *Oxbow *Pet Genius *Phantomsmasher *Pyramids *These Arms Are Snakes *Torche *Xasthur *Zozobra 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hydra Head Records」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
