Formed from the ashes of early Industrial duo Third Door From
The Left and proto noise-mongers Birth Complex; Hydra are
named after both the seven headed monster of Greek myth whose
teeth gave birth to an army of death (check out Ray
Harryhausen's "Jason and the Argonauts" for an entertaining,
if wildly inaccurate version of events), and the secret
terrorist organisation from Marvel Comics' "Nick Fury - Agent
of S.H.I.E.L.D." (in its' original mid-sixties incarnation
dedicated to the violent overthrow of all governments, now
sadly mutated into a neo-nazi group due to current political
revisionism).
A head on collision between the righteous anger of Punk and
the vicious soundscapes of old-school Industrial (T.G./Cabaret
Voltaire), taking the "anyone can do it" attitude and applying
it to the new technology of Sequencers and Samples. Punk
without guitars. Industrial without the Crypto-Fascist
overtones.
"Music for the head and heart, as well as the feet, played
extremely fucking loud."
