The legendary Hydra Heads Records keeps soldiering ever-onward, financial difficulties be damned! The label has sent out the following press release:

I fucking LOVE that ANb/Converge split and am seriously considering buying the test pressing… of course, by the time I finally make up my neurotic mind, it will probably be long gone.
