As expected, the mini-tour featuring Ibex Moon Records’ HOD and GRAVEHILL was a whirlwind of brutality that left the state of Texas in shambles. Over the course of three shows the Ibex Moon labelmates set a new standard for live intensity as each band delivered some of the best extreme metal in the underground today. HOD guitarist Carl “Lord Necron” Snyder issued this summary of the slaughter:
“The Texas onslaught with GRAVEHILL has been merciless. P.A. Systems crashing to ground. Women beating women. Men beating men. Holy hell it’s been brutal! GRAVEHILL’s death metal assault has to be wtinessed live to understand the brutality. HOD has unleashed some new songs on this tour including “Under Tyranny’s Hammer” and “Walking Wounded.” The crowd resonse has been killer for the new material. We hope to see all you maniacs out on the road soon.”

HOD’s Serpent was released last year on Ibex Moon Records, an album that Zero Tolerance called a “venomous explosion of black, death, and thrash metal fury” and Terrorizer called “non-commercialised, uncompromising and slightly unhinged death metal.” www.myspace.com/hodtheband.
