Hydra Head Records is an independent record label which specializes in heavy metal and experimental music, and is based in Los Angeles, California.
Hydra Head was founded in 1993 by Aaron Turner (Isis) as a distribution company while he was still in high school. In 1995, he moved to Boston to attend art school, when he was handed a Vent demo, whose seven inch would be the first record released on Hydra Head. While at school he also met Mark Thompson, who would eventually become co-owner. 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. Hydra Head relocated to Los Angeles, California from their former home in Boston, Massachusetts.
Some of the bands signed to the label include Torche, Big Business, Cave In, Kayo Dot, and Jesu. Its discography includes Botch, Xasthur, Khanate, and Harkonen, who were all signed to Hydra Head prior to their respective disbandings.
