FREE 22 Song Hydra Head Digital Sampler

Hydra Head Records (full disclosure: I work there. That is me on the bottom right) has unveiled a FREE digital sampler called Phoning It In. It is chock full of 22 metal tracks that run the gamut from crushingly heavy to maniacally fast, to hauntingly ambient. Some are previously unreleased, some are rare, all are awesome (and one is a joke. Guess which?) Peep the list below, procure the music, and find some new gems to jam out on your digital listening device of choice (or record them to cassette to ride high on the wave of neo-nostalgia). This is the soundtrack to your heavy metal summer.
