Deep down in a sonic abyss of sludge and filth - a beast has evolved. Dying Hydra is a three-headed mammoth specimen of Hydra - arisen from the sludgy undergrounds of Copenhagen. This beyond-heavy and intense trio has set out to paralyze the hordes with their distorted and immensely dirty soundscapes and memorizing visuals. All members of the band have more than a decade of experience on the Danish metal scene. Together, as mortals, they unfold the devastating heavy music of the immortal Hydra. Dying Hydra was formed in Copenhagen spring 2018 by Lars Pontoppidan (guitar/vocals), Patrick Fragtrup (guitar/vocals) and Tejs Kyhl (drums). The members of the band have extensive experience on the Danish metal scene where they roamed together in a now defunct band. Upon playing together again, now as a trio with no bass but instead with octave pedals added for low end, the trio’s efforts spawned a new vigor and inspiration materializing in what has now become the band’s heavy, atmospheric and sludgy sound.
Offernat is a new Copenhagen based metal trio formed in early 2020. After a little over a year in the shadow of lockdowns and a non-existent live scene the band is now ready with its first release in the form of the eponymous EP “Offernat” set to release the 11th of June 2021. The EP was recorded in the autumn of 2020 in Black Tornado Studios in collaboration with Simon Sonne Andersen (Orm, Taphos) who has made sure to capture the bands raw live energy. Being a collaboration of musicians from very different backgrounds, Offernat is a cauldron of creativity where sonic landscapes are explored in a curious and experimental way, and where the most violent and dissonant are being set up against simple melodic lines and melancholic harmonies. Stylistically, the music can be traced back to genres such as hardcore, black metal, progressive metal and post metal, all of which is set in a dark and gloomy framework
