Hydra Head Launches Free 22 Song Sampler; Unreleased/Rare Material Included

June 22 2010 // Posted by

In a move that Hydra Head should have probably done at least a year ago, the label has put together a free downloadable sampler with 22 songs, some of which fall into the ever nebulous “rare or unreleased” category. Be warned though, at least five of the songs on the sampler go for at least seven minutes, and one of which moves just past the 15 minute mark (in hockey, it’s called an intermission). In other HH news, the label has launched its own high-quality MP3 store, which is where you can grab the sampler.
