HOD in studio working on Ibex Moon Records' debut - August 18, 2008
San Antonio, Texas-based extreme metal band HOD will release their debut album on Ibex Moon Records sometime in early 2009.
The band, comprised of members from Necrovore, Thornspawn, Exulcerate and Pillcrusher, are currently in the studio working on their debut, titled Serpent.
HOD guitarist Lord Necron issues the following update: "We have started work on the recording of our debut album for Ibex Moon Records. We are working with Stuart "BatLord" Laurence for the recording. Stuart has recorded many Texas metal bands over the years such as Thornspawn, Averse Sefira, Death Of Millions and so on. Stuart knows metal since he too has been in many bands over the years, including Agony Column and his present band Ignitor. I can tell you the recording has a very dark and brutal edge to it. The songs appearing on the record will be:
Victims
Serpent of the Nightmare Empire
Harbinger of Death
Black Rites
Demoralizer
Nine Days
God Of Darkness and Winter
It is definitely a leap forward from our demo. We plan on unleashing this beast sometime early next year."

IBEX MOON RECORDS are proud to announce the signing of HOD from San Antonio, TX. - February 18, 2008
HOD features vocalist Beer Reebs (ex-Pillcrusher, Rancid Vat), Bjorn Haga (ex-Necrovore, ex-Thornspawn) on guitars, Carl "Lord Necron" Snyder (ex-Thornspawn) also on guitars, Dirty Derick Rivers (past GG Allin) on bass and Dennis Sanders (ex-Exculcerate) on drums. John McEntee Owner of Ibex Moon Records:“HOD is a real blasphemous power house. I have known Carl and Bjorn for a long time now and jumped at the opportunity to work with them. They play aggressive and twisted black/death metal and bring in the best of the original black/death metal fundamentals without being outdated. They will forge a new standard on the future of extreme metal. I look forward to a monstrous debut album. HOD will for sure be a metal force to be reckoned with!” Carl "Lord Necron" Snyder HOD guitarist comments:“We are pleased to announce our signing to Ibex Moon Records. Ibex Moon is the label that is right for HOD. Working with a label that is run by people that are actually fans of extreme metal was a major consideration for us. So this makes a perfect union. Prepare for annihilation...You have been warned!" Check out their myspace page http://www.myspace.com/hodtheband Upcoming shows:February 29, 2008 @ Rock Bottom Tattoo Bar, 1033 Ave. B, San Antonio, TX 78215w/ Rotting Christ, Immolation, Belphagor, Averse Sephira, Hod, Disfigured April 12, 2008 @ Red Seven, 611 E. 7th St., Austin, Tx 78701w/ Hod, Gates of Enoch, Sakrefix, Adumus, Golgotha, Nosferion HOD - "You Cry And Piss Yourself" (Promo)The 3 songs on this promo offer a hellish mixture of raw, blackened Thrash with some elements of classic Speed Metal (the latter perfectly reflected in the song 'Demoralizer'), while the vocals are in an extremely convincing, Nocturno Culto type grim style. More variation / diversity is the major keyword here. Because of the overall high quality of this promo (let alone the reputation of the members involved), I bet we will get to hear a full length by Texas' newest unholy horde pretty quickly!-

Although HOD has only been active since January 2007, the members of Hod have been involved in underground metal bands for almost 20 years. Bjorn Haga was a key member of the Texas black/death metal band Necrovore, a band that influenced many bands including Mayhem, Dissection and Incantation. Their 1987 demo is considered an underground cult classic. Carl Snyder aka Lord Necron is from Thornspawn, a band who have released numerous albums over the years on Baphomet/Necropolis, Osmose Productions and Agonia Records -- and are considered to be one of the better U.S. black metal acts currently out there. Dennis Sanders of blasting metal act Exculcerate has issued a release from Comatose Music and has toured all over the United States. Beer Reebs known throughout the great state of Texas as frontman for Pillcrusher, also fronts the veteran punk Rancid Vat. Dirty Derick Rivers' claim to fame is playing in one of GG Allin's touring bands. The diverse background of the band helps create original music in an unoriginal scene.
