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.

Hydra [ˈhaɪdrə] - a species of fierce, tentacled predators.
Hydras spear it's prey with a, explosively discharged, dart-like thread containing neurotoxins.
Within ten minutes, the prey will have been engulfed within the body cavity, and digestion will have started. With it's regenerative abilities - it does not die of old age. If severed into pieces, the remains will form fully functional and independent Hydras. Consequently it is said to be immortal. The Hydra got its name from the legendary, many headed, aquatic creature of Greek mythology.
