hi everyone,
we've got some news here on our favorite swedish imports: LOGH. we released their latest album "a sunset panorama" a few months back as SOME of you may have noticed... if not, it is time you heed the call of these sultry, elegantly understated, and handsome swedish songsmiths. ANYWAY, below are some european tour dates for these fellas, so if you live near (or far even) from any of the following locations we suggest you hustle on down to the appointed venue at the appropriated time and get your LOGH on.... here's their website for any seekers of further information on the band: http://www.logh.se

Hydra Head, along with its fulfilment affiliate Blue Collar Distro, go out of their way to provide prompt and complete service with each and every order that is placed at www.hydraheadshop.com . If there is ever a problem due to a fault of ours, we immediately fix it. Mistakes do happen from time to time, and when they do, we suggest that you contact BCD and HHR directly about whatever problem you have encountered. If you go to the "contact" section there are two email addresses listed:

The reason we bring this up is because a select few customers seem to think that the best way to deal with order errors is to search out and contact the bands directly. How exactly this make sense is beyond us. If you order the new Nattefrost from Amazon, do you contact Nattefrost or Season of Mist directly if the CD doesn't show up? No, you don't, you contact Amazon. Seems simple, doesn't it? If you want to be friends with a band, we've not yet found that the way to their hearts is by annoying them with questions that they have nothing to do with.
To the loyal out there, we love you and we do our best. It ain't always perfect, but all signs point to there being loads of happy and returning customers. To the pain in the asses, spare us and our bands...remember the motto? Don't Like It? Don't Buy It!

See this guy right here? We love him to death. He's Swiss. And he's also the drummer in Knut, something we also love to death. "Terraformer", their 3rd full length (and our 4th for them) is out now. Our boys at Conspiracy Records in Belgium released the European version. We don't like to tell you what our records sound like, mostly because we just sound like morons when we play the 'reviewer' role, but more importantly 'cause then that means you won't have to figure out what it sounds like for yourself. But for the sake of it, lets just say that 9 out of 10 agree that Knut is truly on some other shit. check it for yourself. And for those of you that missed the limited Knut preorder items...too bad. But do yourself a favor and sign up for the mailing list so you know when we do the preorder for the Knut remix CD in 2006.
If we've done our job at all, then chances are you've got a pretty good idea that in about a weeks time Cave In (with Doomriders and Lorene Drive) start a month long tour in support of their newest record "Perfect Pitch Black". But what you definitely don't know is that the band will be performing, in one capacity or another, at some killer record shops in a few select cities along the way. One show will feature a full band performance, but the other two show'll have a stripped down two piece version of the band. If you're one of those types that gets all amped on video taping or recording live stuff, do us a favor and send us a copy so we can see what acoustic Cave In (aka: "Adam and Steve") is all about...

This appears to be the last of live Khanate live dates for 2005, so if you're in the UK, don't be foolish... The band's got a usual slew of shit you'll end up seeing on ebay for lots of money including but not limited to, a new shirt/hoodie design (by someone that works here), the US LP version (just wait until you hold it in your hands, it just feels soooo satisfying) of "Capture & Release" on five colors, and the limited DVD which has yet to become available overseas. And to top it all of, you get to see Khanate live!

hello everyone,
we haven't been quite as consistent with the news updates as we promised, but then again, do we ever really follow through on ANYTHING we say? anyway, there's no urgent breaking news on anything in particular, but we do have a couple things we'd like to mention and remind you folks about. first off: live dates for some HH bands - oxbow will be playing a couple shows as an acoustic duo this upcoming weekend (nov 17-18). scott kelly from neurosis will also be performing on the bill in some sort of acoustic or semi acoustic incarnation. the shows are in san francisco and la - please see the tour dates section for more info. khanate are hitting foreign shores as we speak to kick off their UK tour starting nov. 18th. they will be bringing with them the newly issued 12" vinyl version of "capture and release", the new DVD, and some merch items designed in part by hydra head staffers. pelican will also be headed off for foreign lands shortly there after, so all you euro folk save up and budget your time wisely - them there's some molten riff eruptions you won't forgive yourself for missing. lastly, in regards to live performances, we'd like to remind you about the upcoming cave in tour that kicks off on nov 27th. as mentioned previously, more info on all these tours can be found in our tour section on the hydra site.
in release related news we're happy to say that we've had and will continue to have more vinyl flowing in the office door than in recent history. as most of you may know, we just released the pelican/mono split 12" in cooperation with the fine temporary residence limited label, and it's already well on it's way to being sold out. next up we'll have the khanate "capture and release" 12" which has already been pressed up and is on it's way to the webstore - we have some truly ridiculous packages in the works for this release through the hydrahead shop so keep your eyes peeled if you wanna get in on that action. in the not too distant future we shall have the long awaited vinyl version of the 2 most recent pelican releases, "the fire in our throats will beckon the thaw" 2xlp, and the "march into the sea" 12", as well as a double picture disc version of the self titled jesu album AND an lp of new material from boris with merzbow (which is NOT the same material as heard on the recently released "sunbaked snow cave" cd)..... so vinyl fans worldwide: REJOICE!!!
